Arkansas don’t have the DB to compete with air raid pirate boy Leach. Y’all sound like a bunch of Disney Dawgs trying to convince yourselves that maybe we didn’t play poorly, and Arkansas is good because Tex said so. Our defense will keep us in the game, but y’all will once again be doom and gloom in the game day thread if the offense starts sputtering. Saban didn’t even make Bama good in his first year, and you expect Pittman( with no power 5 head coaching or coordinator experience) to turn a team around that hasn’t won’t a conference game since in 3 years in his first year. 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Who said anything about turning a team around? Did you read the OP? Or just assume what it said?
I think Pittman got them up for the game but they’re not good. We played poorly, time to face the music. How many years are we gonna say so and so is better than we thought? They definitely played us hard but we should have hung half a hundred on them by the end of the 3rd.
My point was they supposedly have the 26th most talented roster in the country.
Not making them out to be more than they are. But they are supposedly more talented than almost 1/2 the conference.
They have been poorly mismanaged
Curious where you are getting that number and on what basis are they determining the talent of the roster? Arkansas' last 4 classes were rated 27, 45, 23, 30 by 247.
It's the 247 talent composite.
Gracias Teddy
*Chuckles at seeing FSU at 16 ranked a spot above Miami*
This. I think Pittman’s primary role at Arky is fixing the culture and attitude. If he can get them to play .500 or slightly better ball by the time he leaves, his tenure will have been a success.
The one that would make you chuckle more... see where USC was ranked in 17', 18' and 19'.
Some schools have a lot of talent.....but are lacking in significant areas......FSU- o-line
Oh I grew up a FSU fan...even limited to their roster, their problems go far beyond O-line.
Uga is #1 from the same composite. After say the top 5 or 6, there is a major drop in talent. FSU is number 16 on the list, and just got the brakes beat off them by the number 17 team. Arkansas maybe the 26th most talented team in the country, but they are still garbage. Our final score should have been the half time score. Just saying quit trying to be sunshine pumpers. We all saw the same thing, an eyesore of an offense the first half. Had nothing to do with how good Arkansas is.
Nobody said, and I doubt anyone thought, we played well on offense in the first half. Certainly the OP said no such thing (read his opening statement! Any Georgia fan had to be extremely concerned about our offense in the opening quarter and plenty concerned in the second quarter.
Nobody I know and nobody whose posts I've read is pretending we don't have big issues to fix on offense judging by our first half of the season.
That said, Arkansas might beat some folks which would make us look better than we looked in real time. Football season records are always best evaluated after the season when wins and losses and performances against competition are vastly more easy to ascertain. Once things shake out fully there's not much guessing about how good or bad the competition was.
We know very little yet, but objective rankings of team talent exist. What they tell us is open for debate, but I'd rather have a lot of five star players than not, and so would anyone. I'd also rather posters read at least the OP before thinking they understand what the thread is about, but I pretty often don't get my wish in that or anything else. As long as we show up, and are competitive, and win enough to be true contenders, I'm a happy camper.
Go, Dawgs!
Sunshine pumpers?
