Improvement is there but they have not played anybody yet and with QB play at Texas A&M this is an obvious win. So Be it.
Where did The Texas statement come in. LOL Don't Care Arkansas would beat Pitt 9 out of 10 Times Maybe. LOL My next door Neighbor's Hog is bigger than yours depending on the Scales used.

Assuming they win this game, it's probably they win more games than any other Arkansas team in the last decade.

They play in the SEC West, not the East.

They didn't win a conference game in 2018 and 2019.

And you're not impressed?

Yeah, but the attitude of other teams is Arkansas sux! Respect means a lot. We get respect still, even though we aren't very good. Teams come to ready to play us. I don't think teams have Arkansas circled as a big game. If they keep it up, someone will put them back in their place. That team was also built up with big guys by big Brett. I would bet some of those big guys are still there and they are seniors this year.

People around here lost their damn minds when folks trotted his name out for a coordinator position..

Looks like he runs an offense similar to what we want to run. The differences I see are they have a very skilled QB, a running back who can run over people and catch the ball down field, and WRs who can and do block. Williams on defense can control the LOS. Their defense is fast and play like their pants are on fire.
They are a good team and and will win a lot of games in the future.

Elite coordinators for one. Kendall Briles and Barry Odom both home run hires.

While having an elite offensive line coach has head coach.... Pittman has literally rebuilt Arky starting with the trenches and allows his coordinators to do their jobs..... I doubt Arkansas will ever be consistently recruiting top 5 SEC classes, but man Pittman made the very most of his opportunity.

It’s just proof to me that the University of Tennessee must have been built on an ancient burial ground of some sort because we must be cursed. If Arkansas can turn their dumpster fire of a program around that fast, and we can’t, I am losing hope it will ever happen.

Proof how much TN is trying NOT to be successful. At what point doesn't it crystallize that it's not possible to be a professional who is attempting to have success and do as bad of a job as everyone involved at TN has.

It's like cheating, you don't cheat your way to an A, you get a B, B- so you don't raise any flags. At this point, we are so embarrassingly inept at absolute EVERYTHING that it is almost impossible to believe.

ARK is proof TN can be rebuilt with solid coaches a new culture and smart use of the portal which can somewhat negate initial recruiting struggles.

Ark is also retaining / targeting older players which seems to be a new trend.

Plus their WR’s can catch.

What team actually respects us? Maybe a non conference opponent but not a single team in the SEC circles Tennessee and says that’s going to be a difficult game.

All true, but I imagine their players are now where near as highly talented or recruited as our own. It really shows how important coaching is.

Arkansas did not lose over 30 through transfers including many of their best players. They also have some QBs who can win.
