re: Arkansas: Great rushing attack?

Rather, I thought the offseason hype was unjustified.

You continue to prove you know nothing about football. I'm not even going to address the "lost literally every player that registered a tackle" point you always bring up because the idiocy of that argument has been explained to you ad nauseam and you always just cover your eyes and ignore it.

But I'll address the running game points. First of all it's a well known fact in Arkansas that Collins beefing up to 225 didn't work at all, and he finished the season slow and worn down. That's why he cut 20lbs in the offseason and is down to 205.

And secondly, our offense isn't about MUH RUSHING YARDS, it's about clock control, taking care of the ball and keeping the defense fresh. We don't need to rush for 250 a game because our defense will keep the score low.

But let's pretend our defense is back to Petrino days and our offense DOES need to bail us out. Last year we only had 2 decent recievers, one of which is a pure possession guy and the other was a true freshman. Nobody could stretch the field to spread the defense, so boxes were stacked. This year we added a 6'2 juco guy that runs a 4.3, we have a redshirt freshman slot guy that was a 4* with an FSU offer. We have a converted QB that might be the best athlete on the team that's in his 2nd year of playing receiver and Bert said he's looked like a different player this summer. We also added 2 freshmen, one of which is 6'3 flipped from Ole Miss and looks like black Hercules. The other a 5'11 slot guy that is garnering comparisons to Joe Adams in the athleticism department.

Will all of them be good? No. But there are a shitload more of them than there were last year and all of them had good offers so the law of averages says some of them are bound to impress. Which means, with a more experienced Brandon Allen, the same o-line, NINE tight ends, the same running backs, and no retard named Jim Chaney, the offense will be able to stretch the field more.

Meaning that the load will be taken off the running game and boxes won't be as stacked.
