  When you turn your attention to Arkansas football. I was just looking at some
• 0:02
  numbers, you know from last year. Twenty seven points a game, twenty
• 0:06
  eight points a game that's twenty seven score, twenty eight given up kind of
• 0:10
  gets you under the number, which is, you know a lot of times
• 0:12
  how you get to the four and eight some close ball games against Brigham Young
• 0:16
  and LSU last year, also Ole Miss and Alabama, which you know garnered
• 0:20
  some changes. First, let's go with Bobby Patrino. I know that's going
• 0:24
  to be the big storyline probably at SEC media days, is can Bobby Patrino,
• 0:27
  you know, change this offense again as he has before? He did
• 0:31
  it for Jimbo Fisher last year. What are those expectations this year from this
• 0:35
  offensive coordinator in two point zero his return back to Fayeville. Well, because
• 0:41
  he had so much success when he was here the first time, I think
• 0:44
  most of the people who maybe had lost some hope in Arkansas's offense, and
• 0:48
  maybe even coach Pittman in general, you know, feel pretty good about it.
• 0:53
  I mean, you know, you usually wouldn't bring back somebody who'd had
• 0:56
  that controversy, but you know, he sees, he seems sufficiently humble.
• 1:00
  It seems like that, you know, he knows that he needs to be
• 1:06
  the grandfather type instead of the players type uh these days. And you know,
• 1:10
  from from all indications been able to you know, obviously go over spring
• 1:14
  practice and you know, talk to a lot of the athletes on offense,
• 1:18
  and there is much more of a concept of people getting open matchups being different
• 1:25
  than they were last year. I believe because Fiman thought he was doing a
• 1:29
  good thing by bringing and Danny you know, last year, and it just
• 1:32
  did not work, and in fact, it failed miserably, and that's why
• 1:36
  he was going to go for the end of the season. So I think
• 1:38
  that you know, they feel real good about their defense of guys, coaches
• 1:42
  and the players that they've gotten in here, and they feel real good about
• 1:46
  the twenty twenty five class. So now we're all kind of sitting back to
• 1:49
  see, uh, you know, when these guys be open. Uh,
• 1:53
  you know, when they get out there, you know, in twenty twenty
• 1:56
  four and you know they're going to be open that first game when they played
• 1:59
  you ad. But I think the measure of the season, we're going to
• 2:01
  find out pretty quickly when they go to Oklahoma State for Week two, with
• 2:07
  an eleven am game over there.
