It's just not fair

Darren McFadden had a rough day. 27 yards short of 200, Darren McFadden played very well. Stuffering from Stomach Flu and a Defense that couldn't back him up, Darren looks utterly tired here in the 1st half. He only carried 12 times in the 2nd half, but it should've been none. The razorback offense is doing it's job which is in stark contrast to the Razorback teams in the past several years.

Reggie Herring's press coverage scheme worked well for the Razorbacks defensive secondary last year. While not stellar, it was not as embarassing as it is this year. Losing Chris Houston to the 1st round of the draft is tough though. The new scheme is the "watch the receiver catch the ball" scheme. Kentucky QB Andre Woodson loved the hogs secondary as they helped keep his record breaking streak of passing attempts without interceptions alive. The hogs refused to play the ball and gave up several chances at picks and even had a few slip through their hands.

We all know Houston Nutt must be insane right now. After dealing with the crazy post season ride, he seemed so ready to just get back to Football. Houston came into the season with an experienced offense with QB Casey Dick (while not a prolific passer, does a good job managing the game), WR Marcus Monk, FB Peyton Hillis, a solid O-line, and two of the best running backs to ever play at the school or anywhere. The defense was a question, but getting Micheal Grant and Freddie Fairchild back from injury, the defense looked like it would pull together and get enough stops to help the offense win games.

While getting Micheal Grant back from injury with something to prove ended up getting Star Wideout Marcus Monk injured, but these things happen. It should've been apparent then that this season was one that could go disasterously wrong.

The truth of the matter has been that the hogs are on a crazy roller coaster and at the end of every game they just keep going down.
