I don't think even the most pessimistic Arkansas fan saw this start coming.
Oddly enough our defense has played much better then I expected... its just hard to stop opponents when your offense and special teams hand them the ball inside your own red zone time and time again.
The offense has been worse then I thought, Cole Kelley looks completely lost and while Ty Storey seems to get the offense I'm not sure he has the talent to run it. The running game, with the exception of Boyd, has been a major letdown though the offensive line is playing better then expected.
The special teams... I haven't had enough to drink this morning to address our special teams play. Suffice it to say there are probably High School teams in Arkansas with better special teams then us right now.
If the offense continues to improve and our defense continues to play well... we still might not win another game unless the special teams get fixed. If we can improve that to merely horrifyingly bad then we win a couple of games towards the end of the season.

On the bright side, that targets your recruitment process.
Rebuilding sucks.
It takes time, and few fans are willing to acknowledge that.
Doesn’t help that we’re surrounded by some pretty great teams.
In the meantime, you just have to enjoy the off-the-field aspects of football season—of which there are many!
