It really comes down to how well they adapt. If they have an A&M type quick grasp of the system then 8 wins isn't out of the question. If they have a tough time then I see us around 4-5. Its not an overly complicated change from Petrino's system. If we were more experienced on offense then I would honestly expect 8 wins. With all the youth though I figure it will be more like the first seasons that Vandy and OM had under their new coaches recently. 6-6 and we get more and more competitive as the weeks go on.

Didn't you guys lose Wilson, Hamilton, Davis, and Johnson? I don't think Arkansas has the players yet, even if they manage to "adapt."

It isn't really even the whole team. We have skill players. It all depends on the OL & secondary.

It's why we pay Pittman 500k a year now. Taver Johnson showed what he could do at LB with nothing to work with, and now he should do the same with the secondary. (with an even better LB coach coming in.)

DL is not an issue.

Areas of concern from last year OL>Secondary>FB

With healthy FB's this team can compete.

If Taver and Pittman shite the bed we'll go 4-5

If they do what they've shown they can do 8-9 wins wouldn't be out of the question.
