Alabama did win last year. I know Kniles did not run much against Alabama last season. The point is that he was the same player when they played Alabama that he was when he started playing very well. The point is he's a very good back and he will not play this season.

I never said last year had anything to do with this season. I was simply pointing out the facts that alot of things were in Arksansas favor last season that are drastically not in their favor this year. We can pretend that those drastic changes in venue and experience doesn't matter, but we both know we would be lying to ourselves.

You think Bama is the only team to gain experience from last season? We return most of our defense too, so it should be improved from last season. We've upgraded the talent also by adding Robert Thomas at DT, and Alonzo Highsmith at LB.

All of our WR's have an extra year of experience, our offensive line isn't as weak/inexperienced as people like to make it out to be, Wilson will be as effective as Mallett, and this year we will have Dennis Johnson (he was out for last year's Bama game). Dennis Johnson was thought to be our best running back before getting injured last season.

Arkansas undoubtedly has better special teams than Bama in all phases. Wilson is a redshirt Jr. and has played in each of the past 3 seasons under Petrino. Petrino has been preparing for Bama since the middle of last January.
