HOW DID THE RAZORBACKS WIND UP WITH GAMES AGAINST GEORGIA AND FLORIDA? The SEC gave no rationale on how associate commissioner Mark Womack delegated the additional two SEC games per team. The appearance of "protecting" conference powers Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Florida looks real. Did you notice how, when there was a report that several SEC coaches were upset and asking on a video conference for some accountability on how the games were decided, the topic faded very quickly? The SEC is crafty at reining in dissent. 9. WHO WILL LEAD THE TEAM IN TACKLES? Linebacker De'Jon Harris held this distinction the last three years so it stands to reason another linebacker will take over the lead. Bumper Pool, a junior with plenty of starts under his belt, would seem the logical choice, with senior Grant Morgan also a strong possibility. For an outside shot, safety Joe Foucha, who should get some license to roam, is a possibility but with longer odds than the linebackers. 10. HOW LONG UNTIL THE RAZORBACKS ARE CONTENDERS AGAIN? Great question. If anybody knew this for certain, there would be much money to be made in Vegas. A few strong classes stacked on top of each other, with a backbone of offensive and defensive linemen, enhanced by speed and size all over the field and quality quarterback development has to take place in the coming years. That's a big ask for as early as 2021. But the key is implementing a system that can encourage, sustain and develop through the rough times, of which there's certain to be plenty this fall. Three wins this season, maybe five or six in 2021 seem doable. Pushing to eight wins or beyond in any of the next three years would be a significant achievement. De'Jon Harris, Arkansas linebacker, latches on to Kylin Hill, Mississippi State running back, in the first quarter Saturday, Nov. 2, 2019, at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
