Arkansas didn't have a QB with a 3,000 yard season until Ryan Mallet in 2009.

Either way they haven't produced as many 1000 yard runners than the schools I listed on my subjective list of what schools come to mind.

They’ve produced 24. How many have the schools you listed produced?

LSU’s first was in 2001 with Rohan Davey so not too long before Arkansas did with Mallett

No, they've produced 22 based on the OP.

Joe Ferguson was the first true QB with NFL potential and that was in the early 70s. Soon after they went back to run oriented offenses.

Barry Lunney Jr. was the first QB in 1995 to throw over 2,000 yards.

Clint Stoerner in 1998 and 1999.

Matt Jones in 2004.

Casey Dick in 2008.

they've produced 24 based on what actually happened on the football field. If we're talking about how teams played football over the course of time, pretending vacated stats didn't happen is silly

I take this response as you just spoke out of your arse without actually being sure you were correct

661 yards his junior year.

Holtz ran the veer offense and maybe that had something to do with it.

This dude didn't have a 1,000 yard season but he is the best fullback in school history.

Where they played their High School football


Oh yes, this sorry sad arse argument... He bud, maybe these kids just knew something most tea sips don't understand...OU is just better at football.

Hell your stadiums name says it all.... It took an All-American, who still holds the INT record at OU btw to get Texas Football to the national level and to win 3 of your 4 Natties... DKR a proud OKIE from Hollis, Oklahoma. Texas puts out the highschool players, the Oklahoma Sooners coach them to be legendary.

For the record 4 of Oklahoma's 7 Heisman winners were Oklahoma products.

Billy Vessels - Cleveland, Oklahoma
Steve Owens - Miami, Oklahoma
Jason White - Tuttle, Oklahoma
Sam Bradford - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Defense in your piss ant conference was shite for years. Shows you what a dumb arse you are. When you came into the SEC you went and got a defensive coach to be the head man. Winning games 52-50 wasn't going to cut it in a real conference.

Arkansas has had some great backfield tandems. McFadden, Jones and Hollis. Heck even with that group in 2007 McFadden had over 1,800 yards. He is on my list of people I never want running a football at me.
