Leslie has managed to find and walk a fine line between genius and ineptitude. No one should be shocked by 8-4, no one should be shocked by 11-1.

We bring back 17 starters and a what, 6 five star recruits?
There's the winner. The preseason FPI accounts for returning starters and recruiting classes. LSU is well represented in both of those. I can only imagine returning starters is why Arkansas is 10.

While I hope to God #10 is right for the Hogs... I think we come in quite a bit lower when all is said and done.

I think we lose a handful of games while we work out our defensive issues. Will Arkansas be dangerous next year?

Well we sure hope so but a top 25 ranking, which is what squads like Auburn and LSU are shooting for, is within reach.

We win, with luck, a few more games this year. But with our schedule a 10+ win season is manna from Heaven.
