The Grades Are In

Wondering how your evaluation of Saturday's loss jives with those of Chris Bahn and Alex Abrams? Read on to find out.

Bahn of ArkansasSports360.com gave the offense a C, the defense a C-, special teams a C and an overall C. (Click here to read his full report.) Here's a notable passage from his evaluation: "Say what you will about the improvement the Razorbacks made, but make no mistake - This was still a blowout loss on the scoreboard. Arkansas has now been outscored 139-31 in three consecutive games and has a very slim margin of error. It's possible the Razorbacks aren't as bad as they've looked and the apprehension on Arkansas adding to its win total seems to have calmed a bit after a solid three quarters against Florida. There is still MUCH improvement for this team to make and it's going to take near-perfect performances to win with a defense susceptible to giving up the big play and an offense that can't seem to make big plays."

Meanwhile, Abrams of The Morning News breaks it down as follows (click here for his full report) - Quarterbacks: C. Running Backs: A-. Wide Receivers: B-. Offensive Line: C+. Defensive Line: C+. Linebackers: B+. Secondary: C. Special Teams: D+. Coaching: B-.

Those both sound like rather fair assesments of what happened on Saturday. However, I think they should have added “Fans” to their grading. Noticing all the empty seats as the fourth quarter starting stinking, I thought to myself “Why couldn’t they have stayed? What is the hurry? I know it is bad to watch. But hang with these guys. Show your support! Come on.” I would give the fans a “C” for showing up in good numbers in the first place after two bad losses and little expectation for a win, but nothing higher for not sticking with the team until the end when the going got tough again. I’ll be at the game against LSU in November where it will probably take a miracle or two on Markham to get a win, but I am sure as hell not leaving until the clocks show 00:00.
