Good qb but other than that there is not much stability.. Well if Mallet stays next season might be different... But if he doesnt its gonna be awhile before Arky can compete


Wtf does that even mean? Stability? There's not going to be a MORE stable team next year. Arkansas will return, by FAR, the most returning starters.

Mallett will not go pro after this year. that's a ridiculous sentiment at this time. And after he goes pro, there's 4 star QB waiting in the wings (Tyler Wilson) and a superb athlete with a cannon (Brandon Mitchell). Oh, and they happen to get instruction from a couple of highly regard QB guys in Garrick McGee and Bobby Petrino. A Bobby Petrino coached team will always have decent QB play. Hell. Look what he did with Casey Dick in one year.

Petrino's 2 deep consists of, I believe, 44 freshmen or sophomores. Let's see anyone else go out and compete in the SEC with no upperclassmen talent.


23 Juniors (14) and Seniors (9) on the two-deep.

Other SEC teams:
South Carolina -- 6 seniors on the two deep.
Tennessee -- 19 seniors on the two deep.

they could not take advantage of florida's four fumbles and a bazillion sacks on tebow. arkansas is not a very good program right now.

They took advantage enough to beat UF, if it had not been for the horrible officiating that came to UF's rescue.

Arkansas right now is a mediocre program that is struggling. They have someone who they believe in, but arent sure really if it is the right guy. They want Holtz and Hatfield days back, but dont like someone who will run the ball, since obviously throwing the ball is the only way to win, in their minds. They also over valued their team this year, some natives will get restless over the winter. If a huge improvement doesnt happen next season they will be going after Petrino, right now they want to place blame on Willy, which is not the reason. They blamed Burns, Wommack, Thompson, etc...it is always the D's fault.
