re: Arky Has A Tough 2013 Schedule

At least Arkansas had Tyler Wilson, Cobi Hamilton, Dennis Johnson, Knile Davis, and Chris Gragg, among others, last season. That helped to overcome the terrible coaching. I expect them to take a step back on offense this year with the adjustment to a more power-rush based offense, and to upgrade on the defensive side of the ball.

That being said, it will be a long year for Arkansas fans with that schedule.

It was certainly nice to have all of them but I think our replacements will surprise a lot of people. Our rushing should be better than it was last year with an improved o-line. Knile Davis was great in '10 but he never came back into himself last year at all. He was our 3rd best RB. And Brandon Allen is no Tyler Wilson by any means but I think he can be a serviceable hander offer to J Williams and A Collins and a decent passer off the play action. We've also got a couple senior receivers in Julian Horton and Javontee Herndon who are itching for their moment to shine. They have showed lots of promise but never gotten to showcase it because they were behind Wright, Childs and Adams 2 years ago and last year Tyler only ever threw it to Cobi.

We'll still take a step back on offense but I doubt it'll be as abysmal as people are expecting.
