Special Teams

I know people are salty about the Special Teams and I’m going to get a lot of “Fire Scott Fountain” replies but there are several reasonable posters who aren’t all up in their emotions so I’m just going to ask.

What’s the deal? Could be as simple as new coach, new concepts, no spring ball, need to keep reshaping the roster, etc.

I think any first year coach should be given the benefit of the doubt but Fountain’s units are giving off a real Chad Morris vibe so I’m not going to lie, it’s concerning.

What say you?

5 Hogs included in 2021 Arkansas Sports HOF class

The nine-person class will be inducted on April 16, 2021, at the organization's 63rd annual induction banquet at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock.

~Lance Harter - women's track and field head coach
~Lisa Cornwell - women's golf
~Tim Horton - football (player and assistant coach)
~Joe Johnson - men's basketball
~Johnny Ray - baseball

WTF took so long to induct Harter? And Ray?

The other inductees are Kevin Kelley (head football coach at Pulaski Academy, never punts), Jesse Mason (basketball, third all-time leading scorer at UAPB, played in the late '50s/early '60s), Billy Joe Murray (high school basketball coach for 38 years at Altheimer, Crawfordsville and Earle) and Lawson Pilgrim (standout basketball player at Conway HS - began career at Arkansas before transferring to Hendrix).

Does he have hands?

That’s the ultimate question here, but if he does I believe KJ Jefferson could be a freak TE if he embraced the transition.

Hornsby running the show next year with Jefferson and Henry at TE..

This shit ain’t NCAA Football 09, but I can dream. I don’t doubt I’m actually on to something here, but KJ accepting the switch is another story.

Like Matt Jones going to WR if he’s hell bent on being a QB.

Respect for Franks

Just reading some of the Florida boards and post-game comments. He gets so much respect from his former teammates and and coaches.

This guy is a true leader and a better QB that his stat line shows given the amount of pressure he endures on almost every passing play. He’s not perfect but he’s as good as we have had in a long time.

Wish he would stick around but even if he doesn’t, the young QBs will be better for having been in the same room with him.

11.15.20 - A beautiful day in store at Augusta, not on these forums - Despair Watch

In Columbia, SC:

"It's a dumpster fire"

And they're hoping for the Death Penalty

In Palo Alto, CA:

They'd rather talk about how bad Michigan is

So let us head to Ann Arbor, MI:

They are wondering if Rich Rod and Brady Hoke were this bad

My take..

Franks is playing about as good as he can. He’s topped out. He’s never going to be a heisman type guy.
Have to start smith and let him get 15-20 carries a game. Let Boyd opt out. Because he won’t just sit on the sidelines and watch he would just get mad.
Burks needs at minimum of 10 touches a game. Need around 15. Quit running him in motion to throw swing passes to him. Let him run a legit route tree. Slants/crossing routes.
Defense- other than Marshall and sometimes coates, our front 7 is lacking in talent to keep up with elite teams right now.
And I also think we need to run some more man. Teams have enough film on our zone that they are just picking it apart. Or running the ball on us. Don’t rip me apart. Just tell me how you feel different and what you think.

Alright guys settle down

I’m disappointed in the penalties and the blown coverages on defense, but our scheme is heavily dependent on getting pressure on the QB with 3 or 4 rushers. That’s a tall task any game but Pittman is here to recruit players that can execute our schemes against SEC caliber offensive lines

This isn’t what I was hoping for tonight, but we got the right staff. Just want to see the team keep fighting
