In recent history, I cant remember where one player has made such a drastic difference in how the team performs. The most recent one I can think of is McFadden, but he had Jones and Hillis who could also go. Im sure there are examples but I cant think of any of hand.
When he came in, the guys lit up. He was a true leader on the field. No disrespect to Hicks as I know he is a student of the game and is a highly successful G5 football player, but the SEC is another level.
Im not predicting a bowl game, but Ill be damned if we arent in some games this year that no one expected us to be in. If we can play TAMU to a 7 point game last year, then we could do the same this year, and if things bounce our way then you never know.
Regardless, the defense has to improve or it wont happen either way.

I think Hicks is going to go down as the Peter Principle at work in college football at Arkansas.
By which I mean someone who did a good job right up until they got promoted to a position that was out of their league. He rose to the level of his incompetence.
Now he might prove me wrong and come in and throw a billion TDs. God I hope he proves me wrong.
But it is not on him that he got named the starter. Starkel was unsure by his own admission. I wish we didn't face Ole Miss while the transition to Starkel was happening but what can you do?
