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.

Depends on how they replace Kirkland and Tretola imo. Arky's oline was a huge reason as to why they were so tough to beat.

It is alot to replace, no doubt. Not to worried about the running game. Bert always does a good job getting the rbs ready. QB back will to tough but I like what Enos did with Allen this year and think he played a major factor in his success.

There are four 4* QBs on roster behind him. Arkansas should be alright at QB. I'm more worried that we may actually lose one or two good QBs between now and next season. Arkansas also has 6'7" Cole Kelley committed in this class, and Enos is working on a few transfers from other programs. Three to be exact.
Now I don't know what Arkansas could ever do with 8 scholarship QBs, but they're going after a lot of them. QB should be a position Hog fans don't have to worry about for some time now. Especially with that fancy VR system they just bought. From what I understand it's a QB's dream.
