i can't help but reflect upon the Arkansas game in a positive light.
1. this was the SEC West champion last season
2. the poor performance of our run defense is mitigated by the fact that all of our scoring drives were relatively quick, thus giving our defense little rest.
3. we knew entering this season that our defensive front seven would be suspect regardless of who our coach would be due to recruiting failures by Kines and company.
4. we faced the best running back tandom in the nation with a suspect front seven and still won!
5. nearly everyone on this board agreed that our offensive production would need to improve this season in order to compensate for our defensive holes, and that is exactly what happened.
6. we lost a big lead (which has seemingly become the norm when playing Arkansas) and came back in the fourth quarter which NEVER happened under Shula.
people, i don't think you can expect anything more under the present circumstances. agree? disagree?
