The teams we have lost to have all had a badass defense

quote:

---

Fact: we have a first year starting QB

---

Who was playing amazing and has obviously been affected due to being hit too many times

We played the same caliber of defenses last year and looked much better. The 2015 team could have beaten this LSU team.

quote:

Fact: we have a patchwork offensive line

---

Yeah, and that falls on Bielema... it's not an excuse when you're at fault. It's not like we've had injuries there.

quote:

---

Fact: it's the first full year for all our running backs and fullback

---

Not sure why this matters

quote:

---

And yet we'll still likely finish with 9 wins

---

Yeah, and be obviously a worse team. It's hard to excuse 4 blowout losses regardless of if you win the other games, especially considering the SEC West isn't as good as last year.

quote:

---

Not to mention our offensive problems are responsible for much of our defensive struggles

---

Come on. This defense might be marginally better on last year's team, but there are still glaring issues. Way more issues that can't be caused by the offense.

quote:

---

And we all knew our oline would be exposed against the great dlines of the SEC. And now that our oline is causing much of our problems, people are losing their minds.

Yes, because no one expected it to be this bad. Also, expecting something to happen and it happening doesn't somehow magically make it not okay to complain about.

Yeah that 2010 team was just unlucky enough to catch Cam. They were so close to 12-1, could've easily gone undefeated if Cam hadn't been there.

But yeah at the same point in the season right now 2015 Arkansas would beat the brakes off of this team.

The big problem is that even in the games where we don't play a decent defense they still tend to be shoot outs, except, thank goodness, for Florida.

I don't blame the offense for not putting points on the board last night. Or, to be more precise, I don't blame AA and the running backs. The line got very little push and every time Allen dropped back to pass it seemed like an LSU defender was coming at him unblocked and with a full head of steam.

We just aren't very good this year. We can barely beat the turd teams we play and anyone with a pulse is going to motorboat us. If we win 9 games this year we will probably be able to lay claim to having the worst 9 win team in Razorback history.

Bert has to clean house during the off season or next year could be even worse.

Which is unacceptable, considering how many recruiting classes Bielema has had now. He had to convert a DT and get a grad transfer because his recruits aren't ready to go even with 2 or 3 years in a program. Bama has a freshman starting O lineman, Aggies have two! Their offensive lines arn't "patchwork". LSU started a freshman last year, but we have to convert a DT to guard because that's our most prepared player? It's an embarrassment. Bielema can't recruit anything but D-line, and even they under perform. I love Bielema as a person, but he is LACKING HARD at recruiting and developing talent.
