It will take at least five games, possibly all season, to get back to the level our defense was at. In the short run horrible. In the long run we are recruiting those players. We will be fine.

LSU, as their wiser fans noted, caught us at the exact wrong time. Arkansas is probably a year away from being scary. That being said... some good teams are going to have problems with the Hogs next season.

Honestly LSU caught us right when we put it all together

I think if you switched A&M and LSU on our schedule last year you could've likely swapped the wins and losses.

I also think LSU and Ole Miss let the cold weather psyche them out a little, because that really shouldn't have been an issue for them.

lsu really should've drank more hot chocolate

could of been the difference

It was coming all along.
The right way to build something is not always the fastest way.

The pieces were there, but the guys hadn't quite gotten over the hump mentally until the last couple of games.
Very well could have (maybe even could argue 'should have') beaten aTm, Bama, in addition to LSU and Ole Miss. Weren't that far away from beating MSU and Missouri either.

But we didn't.

I think that we could all see that in the Bama game. We knew that Arky would get the wins eventually. Everyone was just trying to get their jokes in while they could. I had a bad feeling all season that the LSU game would be it just because of matchups and playing at Arkansas and that game always gives LSU fits. I think that the "wanted it more" is an issue with Arkansas and LSU, but that makes no sense as Arky is ALWAYS a tough out for LSU, just like Ole Miss is. So frustrating.

I think we will hurt a little at LB unless we see some player step up like Spaight.

Flowers is great...but I think a combo of Wise and another DE opposite which SHOULD be Ledbetter will be very good.

Hard to replace Philon but we have a talented guys in BJackson that has all the tools.

I think our backend will definitely be better than last year...which is something we haven't seen since maybe 2006.

Our O is going to have to win us some games and our run game has to get better.

I'm excited what Enos brings to the table and I think we will make better use of WRs and RBs in the pass game. That will only help the TEs and Allen.
I expect Allen to have his best season in his final year

Stout road schedule...8-4 would be a good season

LSU was deflated after losing to Bama

Arkie just wanted a W and we're the Super Bowl for them.

Agreed....

Tenpenny .... Also wishes he was with AC, Williams, and Day!

Sad really, but they saw the light, didn't realize it was a funky gas showing out!
