I count 15 returning
The 7 starters they are losing are experienced a few are RS seniors and have been in the program 5 years

Lose two offensive linemen
QB-
RB-Collins
TE-
Nose tackle
Safety

Coach B. is building a better program and recruiting is getting better. I hope he is given the chance to let his system develop.

Next year I look for Arkansas to win 9 to 10 games minimum



I don't know why everyone keeps saying 2 for the OL, but we're actually losing 3 (Kirkland, Tretola and Smothers). We're also losing Koehler and another 1-2 on the OL. Still, the biggest issue for the OL next year will be building chemistry and a lack of depth after the starters, but we should be alright.

If Enos has our next QB prepared early and we don't have fumblitis with our new RBs, we could have a very good team next year.

Losing Allen stings. He's a good QB and it's a pretty rare situation to follow up a solid QB like that with anything close. Admittedly I know little of your backups, but usually there is a hiccup year for teams at QB in similar situations while the new guy gets acclimated. I can count though and in the past 3 season you have about 30 pass attempts by QBs not named Brandon Allen or AJ Derby. Losing Allen, Henry and Collns is a huge for that offense and I expect to see some statistically significant regression in passing TDs and yards per carry by the primary tailbacks.
