Can someone please answer my question. Did Arkansas have a better chance of beating Alabama coming into last season's game compared to coming into this season's game?


Other than playing at your house this go around yes. Yall had the returning Heisman winner, coming off a Natty Title with the majority of that team back and were being talked about like you were the best team since Miami in 2002


ETA: Dareus/Julio jones/was Arenas still there? dont remember, but yall were suppossed to roll through unscathed last year.

ETAx2: And you weren't breaking in a new QB either.

So yes those are several reasons why I think we've got a better shot this year. Granted home field advantage is a huge factor, and should've won us the game last year, but we let it slip away.

You sure that's all. I guess only having two starters returning on defense last season had nothing to do with anything. No Arenas was not on last years team. The only returning starter in the secondary was Mark Baron. Alabama had a true freshman in Milliner playing from day one.
