"Arkansas preview: Hogs no less dangerous, just more unpredictable"

[Chechem]

Or less predictable!

Alabama enters the center ring Saturday, hoping not to become the answer to the trivia question, “Who did the 2012 Arkansas team beat the week after losing to Louisiana-Monroe at home?”. The Tide still has questions in its secondary, but has now added questions about its own ability to pass-protect. Arkansas has a dilemma at quarterback, a brewing controversy at running back and a defense that smells like five-week-old fish.

The Razorbacks have the talent to make things difficult for Alabama, but are their heads in the game?

OFFENSE

Arkansas is still running a passing spread attack under offensive coordinator Paul Petrino, but some of the crisp timing and intuitive playcalling that were hallmarks of his brother’s offense in recent seasons is simply not there. Arkansas is leaning too much on the pass and has been too quick to abandon the running game, a strategy that won’t work this week if Wilson is out. Alabama counters with its pro-style attack that will be undergoing some significant tweaking in light of Jalston Fowler’s season-ending injury. Alabama looked well-balanced in the opener, but struggled running the football against Western Kentucky...

I've seen the comment that we struggled in the running game last week a few times.  CNS even said something similar on the CNS Show.  Could it be that is the reason we were in drop back passing mode all along, and not just to work on pass blocking?

If that is the case, then that game was a lot more competitive than I thought.

The comments from CNS suggest simply a lack of effort and dedication that day.  I hope not.

This team fits the cliché, "They can be as good as they want to be".  Hopefully we'll see full effort every game henceforth, regardless of the set we play or the D we face.
