1) Get well soon, Josh Williams. Lost for the season.

2) Drew Morgan is a playmaker and a go to reciever.

3) A road win versus a team that we would have lost to 2 weeks ago.

4) Defense. They proved my point. Stop the run and you stop UT. They did a good job of that and they contained a running QB for the first time this season.

5) The fake field goal was an " only a bad call because it didn't work" situation. Many of you crybabies whining about that play call would have been praising if it worked. That includes you, CoachCaldwell.

6) Special Teams. I think we need to hire in a Special Teams Coordinator after the season. I would imagine Bielema will probably at least look into doing so, too.

7) Alex Collins and Raleigh Williams looked great aginst a Tennessee front that most considered a pretty good group.

8) Oline played like the group we thought they were.

9) Improvement. This team has shown improvement in every game since they lost to Toledo.

10) Penalties were corrected. The string of bad penalties we had in every game up til this one was hurting our chances badly. Nice to see us clean that up as I felt it and injuries were two of the biggest culprits in our losses up until the UT game.

Finally, everyone relax and take a deep breath. We won. Was it perfect? No, but road wins seldom are. In the end, Arkansas and Bielema did exactly what it had to do to move forward and that's win. With at least 4 very winnable games coming up after Bama and a week off, We just need to stay on task and do what we can to get this team back into a bowl again this year and keep the program moving forward.
