Franks is an upgrade at QB no doubt, but lets switch out the Florida OL//WR with what he will have at Arky and see how well he does.

Outside of Juwaan Taylor the Florida OL really wasn't anything special in 2018. Curious to see if Pittman can improve the Arkansas OL any though, got a Notre Dame transfer center that sat out last year and the probable starting RT back who missed all last year with a torn ACL.

Having two receivers who made freshman all-SEC last year is a good building block.

And replace the play-calling of Mullen with that of Briles.

After 8 straight losses, I have zero worry until they actually pull it off.
How long until we overtake them for the overall series lead?
I know we gotta be close...

um, when did Briles jr. become a great offensive coordinator?

reminds me of when Applewhite was coming thru the ranks...and the praise was non-stop

Nah we were down by 20+
currenty 41-32-3

We are one year away from sharing the most wins in a row at 9.

They landed Hornsby, too.

I mean he's been a finalist for the Broyles Award and his offenses have averaged 40 PPG. Improved FSU from the 113th scoring offense in 2018 to in the 60's last year.

Feliepe Franks is terrible.
All I know is that we better not see anything like this happen again, but at Jerryworld.

It seems about right for the hogs matchup with the exception of overtime and the dozen legit NFL players that probably suited up for UF in 2017.

I don't know if you remember OP, but Felipe Franks is very very bad.

How bad? When Mond was a freshman, he put battled Franks @ Florida. What does that say about Franks when he can't even be better than freshman Mond?
I don't think Franks is great but he did have 31 total TDs to just 6 INTs in 2018.

For context:

Franks passing efficiency rating:
2019: 173.4 (just 3 games)
2018: 143.4
2017: 113.3


Arkansas QBs in 2019: 109.4 (Starkel), 94.6 (Hicks)
Keep in mind that correlates directly with the QB coaching and Dan Mullen play-calling specifically to cater to Felipe. There's no guarantee of even similar results with Briles. Dan Mullen is a top 5 QB coach and play-caller in all of college football, so while Felipe did do the work, he was in pretty much the perfect situation at UF (although the OL could've been better obviously).

And Hornsby is a great athlete. He's got a long way to go as a QB though; still very raw.

And we appreciate y'all taking the time to suck hard enough to let us close the gap on the only three advantages y'all have over us on winsipedia: all-time record, longest win streak, and number of bowl games attended. If y'all can manage one more "rebuilding" year, we'll be all tied up on the last two, and we should have the first one taken care of later this decade. I'll make sure to bring over a nice casserole later as thanks for your efforts this past decade.

Sam Pittman is a perfect coach for Arkansas because they found him in the clearance aisle at Wal-Mart.

Here's one way to think about it. If the Hogs whiff on Pittman that should pretty much put us even in all-time wins because it's going to take 10 years to climb out of the hole. You have to give Pittman credit because he was handed a poop sandwich and he has worked miracles recruiting. We will see what kind of coach he is very soon.

I think that gap is getting closed even if Pittman is a good coach.

There is only so much you can improve a team like Arky.
