As everyone knows, I spend a lot of time on Razorback message boards looking for any type of news/rumors/whatever will hold my interest. (It's July, there's nothing going on) As I'm looking at woopig and hogville, I'm noticing many posters are writing that this year could be a 10 win season including a win over the mighty USC Trojans; hey, I'm all for it, but I think there's a better chance of me getting a 200% raise on my current salary than the Hogs winning 10 games this season. There are too many unknowns about the upcoming season. Granted, the Hogs bring back the most starters of any team in the SEC, (19) and this past recruiting class was one of the best of at least the past 15 years. However, the Hogs have NO proven QB-you've got Robert Johnson, who lost the starting job half way thru the '05 season to true Freshman Casey Dick. Dick performed pretty well considering his circumstances, but he was injured in spring ball and is still not taking part in the un-supervised passing drills. That leaves Mustain...While I think Mustain is the future of Razorback Football, you can't throw him to the lions, or the Trojans in his first collegiate game ever.
Unknown #2 is arguably the most talked about new offensive coordinator in Hog football history. I don't know much about Gus Malzahn, except he's won everywhere he's been, including Hughes(who has sucked since he left). The man may be a football genius, but he has yet to see one down of action as a D-1 OC. Now, genius or not, it's a heck of a jump from Springdale High to SEC Saturdays. I hope he proves me wrong early into the USC game.
Now, don't take this the wrong way, I'm not predicting doom and gloom for a 3rd straight season, but there's not enough Budweiser in St. Louis to make me believe the Hogs will win 10 this year...But if they do, you better believe that my glass will be more than half full and making a toast to the Hogs!
More to come as time passes and septa. 2 gets closer.
