Again, who would you put them ahead of.


Well, for starters, everyone they finished ahead of last season considering they return 9 out of 10 guys on the two deep. Arkansas, like Alabama, rotates many bodies in and out during the course of a game.

Now you consider Arkansas also landed one of the biggest freaks in this years class that will also play on the Defensive Line.

Alabama? Tennessee? Auburn? Florida? Ole Miss? Missouri? LSU?

No, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes.

Also - Arkansas was 5th in YPA Rush Defense (3.76).

Yet only gave up just over 110 yards per game. Good for 12th in the nation and 2nd in the league. Better than Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss, Missouri, and LSU.

What do those teams return? Ole Miss lost key components on their Dline. Tennessee gave up 151 yards on the ground per game last season. Auburn gave up 183 yards per game(holy shite).

Welcome to the SEC. We all signed freaks on the DL. That doesn't matter.

On the least attempts per game (tied with Alabama)

Alabama gave up 2.43 YPA. Arkansas gave up 3.76 YPA.

Tennessee was much better the 2nd half of the year and also was 5th in the league in sacks per game (Arkansas was 12th). Auburn gets Lawson back, a sophomore Cowart and everyone else.
