Listen here Paul Finebaum and David Pollack re: Arkansas expectations

You’re the professionals, not me, I shouldn’t have to do this for you. I have a real job and a kid to take care of, I don’t have time to be educating you and other wet rags who are trying to downplay this Arkansas football team. But I’ll do you this courtesy once.

Arkansas is a national title contender. Practice saying it and start believing it.

Starting with offense, Arkansas has all the pieces to execute the Briles offense to near its max potential. You don’t need me to explain what that means do you? I know it’s been a few years but recall Baylor at its peak, scoring 45 ppg. Arkansas has the skill players and offensive line to get close to that level of production. Arkansas is currently 14th in the nation in yards per play and 11th in points per game. That ranking will climb as the new QB continues settling in in Kendall Briles’ second season with Arkansas.

Now the defense. Barry Odom is indisputably one of the best DC’s in the nation. In his 3rd year as Memphis’ DC, his defense was 13th in nation in ppg. In his one season as Missouri’s DC, they were 5th in the nation in ppg. Arkansas’ D has the talent, toughness, and instincts for Odom to field another great defense. Arkansas is currently 9th in the nation in opponent’s yards per pay and 21 in opponent’s ppg.

KJ Jefferson is the SEC’s best dual threat QB since Jalen Hurts.

Treylon Burks in the best WR in the SEC.

Arkansas will challenge Auburn for title of best running back group.

Jalen Catalon is the best DB in the SEC.

Arkansas LB’s pound for pound are some of the best in the conference.

Sam Pittman has buy in from everyone and the team is laying it all out for him. This team doesn’t have a chip on its shoulder, it has an entire Frito Lays manufacturing plant.
