How is BA looking in camp and is he progressing over last year?

Your d-line, how are the new comers doing?

With J Will going down how is your backfield shaping up?

Breakdown of how your O, D and ST will look this year.

Honestly? No.

Brandon is looking good. Our offense will be improved over last year even with the loss of J-Will. We have excellent tight ends which can double as H-backs, plus Kody Walker is a beast. We have an incoming freshman in Rawleigh Williams III that will have a great O-line to run behind.


D-Line: Our D-Line will be better than last year. While a single player might not be as good as Philon or Flowers, there's much more depth and overall it is greatly improved.


Defense: Linebackers are the question mark but the secondary and D-Line will be better than last season. If our linebackers suck, our defense will be top 40. If our linebackers play well, our defense will be top 10.


Special Teams: Punting won't be as good as last season but Kicking will be better. It probably won't be Zach "money" Hocker good, but it won't be the missed extra point shite show of the early season.


I have Arkansas penciled in at third in the west behind Alabama and LSU.

I'm also interested in what their expectations are for the year and what they would be happy with. People probably vary the most on them for any of the SECW schools as far as predictions go. Would y'all be happy with 8-4, since it's still progress, or do you want more?

Thanks Killean. Arky and ASU are the two opponents this year that I am most anxious about. I could see us winning or losing either of those games. Your schedule sets up nicely leading up to us. Should be a fun one in JerryWorld

Happiness depends a lot on how the wins and losses happen.



9-3 seems to be a consensus among fans. I think 10-2 to 8-4 is realistic with how our schedule sets up.


anything below 8-4 would be bad, anything above 10-2 would be excellent



I went with 10-2 with the 2 losses being at Alabama and at LSU.

I'm not buying this. Philon and Flowers were two of the best Arkansas d-linemen of my lifetime and they were on the field the majority of the time.

I think the biggest surprise in the SEC this year could be Arkansas' passing game. We have a slew of talented receivers and two excellent and experience pass-catching TE's.

I'm not buying that either, unless you are 12

8 wins is my expectation for the year. Anything above that would be a bonus.

Dline is strong and deep. Look for Frohodt/ Ledbetter to have a solid contribution on the DL.

BA got rocked in our first scrimmage. He was put through hell for situational scrimmage to test our offense. He will have a lot of heat with our defense.

JW going down early allows us to work backups much more. Rawleigh Williams will be a great back it looks like. Kody Walker is a 260# train wreck that can pound tired defenses late in the game.

Our offense should add some spice with Reed WR & Jojo WR , with game breaking speed.

Our Defense, will be one that will give Arkansas a chance in every game. It's our backbone, LB is the one thing we are still a little short on but shows promise, but injuries here could be our undoing!

ST, Well we have good FG kickers and a battle going on. Punters, not to impressed just yet. Down field tackling will be strong.
