[WBC Hog]

J Will- 1000
AC- 1100

Ac and J will .     Over 1000
Marshall over 800.

[GuvHog]

Williams - 1,200
Collins - 1,100
Marshall - 1,000

That or something close to that MIGHT be possible IF the Hogs have enough of a passing game to keep opposing defenses honest and open up the running game. I have my doubts though. I look for teams to stack the line of scrimmage and force the Hogs to win with the pass.

That's the rushing stats for a 9-win team.

I think the yardage might look like that, but we will have to throw the ball to get that many rushing TDs.

We will run the ball for a lot of yardage. We had 2500 yards in a 3-9 season. But without a passing game a lot of those TDs will be FG attempts as the drives stall out around the 25 yard line.

Only a 9 win season if our defense stops the other teams. Just sayin. Dig the ID. Great game we played to that score.

Meh, needs more decimal places.

[weresoclose]

One of our horses might have a season-ending injury, I just have a feeling, so that could open the door for a productive season from one of the two remaining primary backs.  Otherwise, it's possible none of them see 1k.

[cmphill87]

My question is, how often are these guys gonna be on the field at the same time? Like we did with Peyton, Felix, and D-mac. Especially of the offense is one dimensional.

[razorbackfanatic]

To get all three on the field one will have to be lined up at receiver in the slot probably. I have a feeling they will use Korliss a lot this season on the end around(jet sweep) like they used Herndon and Hawkins last season.

[razorbackfanatic]

After going back and looking at last seasons stats, I would have bumped the ypc avg up a bit. Didn't realize AC had 5.4 and Williams was 6.0. I think it will be that good or better for each this season. Td's is probably a little high. But I do believe we are going to surprise some people this season. I'm really excited at the possibilities of this Oline by mid season.

[widespreadsooie]

J Will- 1300
Collins- 900
Marshall- 800

[1highhog]

I'm cautiously optimistic about our backs having all close to a 1,000 yd seasons, and I'm speaking of course about JWill-957, Alex Collins-1,147, and a breakout year for Marshall-963.  I'd love it if one of these guys had played QB in high school and we could play packages of having all 3 in the backfield with one of them playing QB, flashback to DMac.

[razorbackfanatic]

I like the move of Duwop to WR, but it would be nice to have a wildcat type package where he is at QB and we would have the option of him throwing the football. There's so many options in the wildcat if you have a threat of throwing added. U can have Marshall on the end around, hand it to him or fake it, then hand it or fake it to Jwill, AC or Walker up the middle and if the QB still has it he can go around the end or pull up for a throw down field to a streaking Marshall or other receiver. That puts so much stress on the defense, especially the DE's.

[razorbackfanatic]

Then of course you've got all the options plays u can add to it. Getting AC on the corner in a 1 on 1 situation is an ideal situation with his vision and cutting ability.

I like it.  But you could do the same thing with BA could you not?  Sure, he's not gonna do a QB keeper around the end like that but they could use every other part of that play. 

[razorbackfanatic]

Yes except no keeper around the end or up the middle. So if you ran the option he would have to pitch lol. I don't think Razorback Nation is ready for him to purposely take on SEC defenders or dive out of the way lol.

[razorbackfanatic]

And with BA's 4.7-4.8 speed the DE's can always stay a little closer to the back and not worry as much about getting beat around the end.

[weresoclose]

Let's face it, we don't have a philosophy that would allow 3 backs on the same play, which is unfortunate, considering it is our one strength.

[PorkSoda]

Collins 970
Williams 830
Marshal 450
Peavy 375

why do we need them all on the field at the same time?  seems like a waste.  trade off keep them fresh, or roll with whoever has the hot hand that game.

[bigbadhog]

Will 700
Coll 800
Mar 500

Numbers down from last year due to lack of passing game/threat...

[weresoclose]

Simply, because with our passing game deficiency, creativity with the run/dump/occssional strike game or e en better a read-option scheme with an athlete at QB, but in general with multiple elite playmakers in the backfield and in motion, that IMO could give us the best shot at winning football games.  In essence, a Malzahn or Kelly type offense could be the ticket to our success this season and next.

Maybe so, but I just don't think BB is that creative, and I don't think we have the personnel/or guts to run a creative offense.  BB is old school, and will live/die by his philosophy.  I just hope he realizes what he has at RB and doesn't waste it while trying to make BA an all american.

If a team like Arkansas came out and played straight up option style Football it'd kill most of today's College teams, especially right off.

I don't know about that. Defenses are very athletic nowadays. They see spread option quite a bit.

[PorkSoda]

The option is a system that requires a lot of practice and chemistry.  you don't just throw in a couple option plays, unless you want to see a lot of fumbles recovered for TD's

This looks very realistic.  I think one of our backs will get close to 1300

[weresoclose]

3 backs with 3k combined and over 5 ypc each and with an anemic passing game looks realistic???  Pass that over here brother.

I'm not talking about just a few plays sprinkled in here and there, I'm talking about a true option, like Nebraska and Oklahoma used to run, thing of beauty when run right.

[HogFanatic]

Like Georgia Tech?

Ohio State is a primarily option team and they're pretty good, but Meyer is pretty good wherever he goes. Either way you still need a great coach, players to fit the system, and everything else that makes a good team a good team.

I like pro-style offense and I think it is the best fit for Arkansas because our biggest pitch to recruits is going to be the staff's ability to get players to the NFL. The best way to get offensive players to the NFL is to coach them up in an NFL type system.

I agree. Look at what Gus ( ) did this last year at Auburn with Marshall and Mason. Auburn's option game was unstoppable. We have a great stable of rb's, young and capable wr's, and a true option QB in Peavy on the team as we speak. 

[reddogjcss]

All three over 1,000

[Dr Carl aka Shorthog]

I have a hard time believing three RBs can get to triple digits in the SEC.

I agree that the Pro-Style Offense is what will win games for us, but with a strong O-Line that can run block and 3 great RB's that bring different running styles to the game, we can be devastating on opposing Defenses as long as we can at least have a capable QB that can keep the D from crowding the line.  We have the line, the backs, the TE's I think.  If BA can come through for us, then I have faith that Holister, JoJo Robinson, and Hatcher will help us this year on our receiving Corp.

Peavy will most likely steal PT from Brandon midway through the season if Arkansas is pushing bowl eligibility thus:

Williams 1,600 yds (Oline-men Gel beautifully)

Collins 1,400 yds (those ankle tackles work no more with those 15 extra lbs)

Marshall 800 yds & 350+ via screen pass/jet sweep (1150 all purpose)

Peavy 250+ if he gets major PT the final 6 games.
