Sorry, but when McGlothlin, a guy who has been riding a bike around Texas for two years, and a defensive end are your go to guys on the D Line it really is a miracle Arkansas didn't pile up 800 yards of offense.

Sometimes the defense has to get themselves off of the field. Having said that, I agree that this thread is stupid.

oh my gawd...ark is the real deal, mcfadden is tremedous. look you all, this is the only game the entire season we have not been in and were dominated. it aint chavis, it aint cpf, it aint cut...give a little credit, the hogs were better and i hope they play for the natl championship (but i think lsu will get them). go vols, finish out.

Guys are D has sucked all year we always have had to rely on our offense to save them. We had Wade, Hefney, McBride, Mayo, and a few more but time and time again they have let us down.

Air Force - Odd formation or not we were dangerously close to losing this game.

Florida- No, we should not have been in any kind of position to win this game (-11 rushing) but we were. Our defense made some good plays but when it mattered most we were let down and they lost the game for us.

Georgia- Our D dug a huge hole for us this game, luckily our offense was having a awesome night.

LSU- A dog fight til the end. Last play of the game our D has them right were they want them and wouldnt you know it, they threw a TD pass to win the game on 4th and 7

Not to mention all the small things that cause these breakdowns. Poor tackling, give up 3rd and long more than anyone, and we dont recognize superstars as being superstars and defend them like we would everyone else and get burned for it consistently.

can't argue with that

You could have used the same post last week and substituted LSU for ark and Russell for McFadden!

The truth is that we are not one of the "Big Dogs" in the SEC now!

If anything, Chavis' speciality, the linebackers played pretty well (and have throughout the year) I thought.

Mayo and Marvin Mitchell are both playing hurt. We simply don't have a run stopping defensive lineman.

Chavis won't be under any pressure until at least one more bad year. Nothing this year will change anyone's mind for now.

Chavis put together the no. 2 rushing defense in the nation last year. All 8 of those players either left early, graduated, or were out for the season with injuries.

exactly I think the offense did a equal part in losing tonight a team cannot leave it up to the defense to keep them in the game I think everyone here remembers last year and we all remember how that worked out

how long are we going to let "we had injuries" be an excuse. that's why you recruit, coach, and have depth at key positions. UT has been playing with fire for far too long. How can there be nearly 100 players on that sideline and no depth?

You're kidding right? Arkansas scored early and often. It wasn't a bi-product of being on the field too long. In fact, Arkansas scored only 3 points in the 2nd half.

Not only that . . . we were down 28-7 at the half, but we actually had the advantage in timoe of possession.

It is a lack of talent issue. We seem to not be developing our players as we should. Didn't we have like the #1 recruting class 2 years ago? I have seen 20 teams today that look more skilled than we are on O and D line. How is that happening?

I think you have it worded halfway right. It's NOT a talent thing, it's a coaching thing. Not only did we have the #2 class very 2 years ago, I would bet we have a better class than Arkansas better than 90% of the time.

I know we get better classes than:
Wake Forest
Rutgers
Louisville
And a ton of others

But they sure do look more talented than us.??????

Just saw a mind boggling stat . . . In the last 3 weeks we've given up 1,298 total yards. Hard to believe we won one of those games and almost won a 2nd.

I think there's something to what you are saying and I don't want to minimize it, but we are definitely banged up right now.

LSU made every mistake they could to try and keep us in that game. I am more surprised LSU didn't beat us like Arkansas did. I think Les Miles is an awful coach.
