Rushing is greatly improved

And we are at 51% run/49% pass- BALANCE
Love where we are going offensively
Scoring is going to be several points fewer than last year imo. We've played two horrible defenses in USCe and LSU, one of the worst FCS teams in America, a mid PAC 12 team, and a MAC team picked last in its conference.

Arkansas' Defense is actually solid. They held LSU to 34 points which may not seem like anything to crow about, but I think LSU is a top 5 offense in the country, hell it might be the best.
Their offense is god-awful. Any time you can make the bearshark defense look good, you know your offense is putrid.
Our defense just needs to be competent and we should win the game.

With us missing starters next week, it's going to be interesting. I think getting Arkansas after AL and at 11:00 is to our advantage. Turnovers can win us the game. This game comes down to a couple things: (1) has Arkansas folded a little (2) can we get an Arizona effort from the defense.
See, I can be optimistic when I try. I just want to win and let the coaching chips fall where they may.

If we beat Arkansas Pittman's done. And if we do beat Arkansas I hope it builds some confidence with the team and coaches that leads to at least one more SEC win.

Pittman isn't going to be fired after this season. They just gave him a new lucrative deal.

It's more JB than Walmart. Walmart doesn't give money to sports. Nor do the Waltons.
But they love Pittman in Ark. He is at home.

There is an article out on Pitman that he has a performance clause in his buyout. If he drops below .500 in wins, they only pay 50% of his buyout.

Smart contract. Hope we got something like that.

The way the things have lined up, its hard to make any excuses for a loss to Arkansas at this point.

Yeah a lot of people assume the Arkansas defense is as horrible as it was last year but they've actually been respectable, it's just the offense has put the defense in terrible positions all year with turnovers and just general ineptness. There have been about 7-14 points given up per game directly responsible by the offense over the last few games.
I definitely think Pittman is in dangerous territory if Arkansas ends up 3-9 or 4-8 this year. From listening to some national podcasts there are rumors that the AD is putting feelers out there already just in case. Honestly he might be better served going ahead and retiring while he still has some good will with fans rather than prolonging it and making it more toxic next season with another bad year.

And that's what a good AD should do. If ours is just listening to the good ole boys pile on the manure instead of being proactive and gauging interest he should be fired too.
Our game looks like it's going to be who's the toughest 5 year old on the playground.

Even if Arnett survives, does Brock? Brock is a Leach guy it's not like Arnett asked for him.

I'll be very surprised if Brock and Barbay are back.

The offensive scheme isn't the problem. It wasn't a problem at App State. We've had a struggling OL and poorer, even more inconsistent qb play. It's like when I was a kid at the fair once shooting the basketball through the oblong hoop and the carny standing there says ..."It's like sex, you got to get it up before you can get it in."

I wish we would have just transitioned to the Relf Coast Offense from the beginning. Told Will, thanks, but you may want to look elsewhere for career opportunities.

It's amazing to me that some still believe that running the ball all the time and being ineffective at throwing it is the way to win.
