Arkansas/Bielema are ramping up the press big time
-
I've a feeling both Arkie and UT will be vastly improved this year...

They (Arkansas) bring back a lot of players on offense, sure. But, it's not like that offense set the world on fire (8th in yards, 7th in PPG), and they aren't adding a game changer. They also lost their best players on defense who happened to play on the front 7, and there isn't star power replacing them. They don't have ONE player on any preseason media All- SEC defensive team. Yea, they may be "improved" and will probably be in every game, especially with the way they play, but I just don't get all the hype.
Not to mention no one is going to overlook them this year.

I think UT will be improved- UPig has some badasses to replace on D. I certainly think they will be solid though without a doubt.

This is clearly a press push for them. If wonder if they think it will help the recruit or what other reason they may have.
-
Im bearish on Arky. Every defender's name you heard called last year is gone, Trey Flowers, Martrell Spaight, Tevin Mitchel and Darius Philon. That D was salty the last month of the season, not sure they can replicate that.
-
UT has the benefit of the SEC-E being down"ish". They have much more room for error than Arkansas.
-
Randy Shannon to UF .... That is also a HUGE loss on defense for them..
He will have a ton of say so with that defense in Gainsville.. Geoff won't be running that show by himself that's for sure...

I just see a lot of RTGDB in their future... and I like that...
Plus, their attitude has had to change a good bit...
On the other side of the coin, their schedule is a beast:
Road Games: A&M (Dallas), UT, Bama, Mississippi and LSU
Home Games: Auburn, MSU and Mizzo
yikes.

eggszactly. They can be improved and still finish 2-6 in the SEC

Any team in this division who trots out a starting QB with a 52% career completion percentage in 24 starts has a ceiling of about 8-4. Arkansas will be solid but all the hype they are getting with these preseason top 10 and what not is hogwash (no pun intended).

That TE that tore us a new a**hole last year will be back as well.

Their TE is good- but he will always be their best target because of their ragarm QB

THey have 2 or 3 studs at TE but their weakness is at wideout. They lost their top 3 or 4 D players too.

Their quarterback will be good, mainly due to being a veteran 5th year senior. It's amazing how many of you cannot think into the future, you demean the guy based on his passed, but give no benefit of the doubt for the future. You have to have been around sports to truly understand this.
I agree that they will be around 8-4 max, but that will be BECAUSE of the quarterback, not in spite of him. Schedule is too hard and they don't have the horses to do much better.

Looking at their schedule and what they return...
I'm going with 10-2 tops but probably 9-3. They are tough at home and can sweep this year. They'll lose at Tuscaloosa and maybe LSU and UT. I think they have the potential to split or win both. UT....I'm not sold. LSU...well there is the Lester factor and Ark usually gets up for that game.

I heard some Arkansas radio sports guy as a guest on Memphis radio a week ago. He was saying the fanbase is hyped and a lot will be pissed if they don't have 9 regular season wins.
Well, get ready to be pissed. I'll say 8-4 max and more likely 7-5.

I'm 46 and I can still throw it as well as their QB. Just because he starts doesnt make him good

I have long thought that Arkansas has some of the craziest fans in the SEC. Now those thoughts are confirmed.
