Arkansas head coach Chad Morris knows the kicking units need to make major improvements before the 2018 season starts in just 33 days. 

"We've got to see more consistency," says Morris "We did some really good things in spring but we weren't as consistent as I want us to be and it showed up. We had an awful day in the Spring Game. So we'll see, we've challenged them and we've got some competition going on right there." 

I'm sure Arkansas fans all remember the name, Cole Hedlund. The former Razorback has transferred to North Texas and who can blame him. Considering the rough season he had, especially the missed field goal kick against TCU that went viral.

Hedlund lining up for a game winner in their stadium next year?

I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. I'd like him to go 8 for 8 on extra point attempts, with maybe a field goal or two mixed in.

While I hope its a blowout in favor of UNT @ the hog hole, I would totally be fine with him kicking in a game winner there. If I was him I would throw up a certain finger and run around the field. Okay, maybe he shouldn't do that, but I wouldn't fault him for it. 

That would be rude. But, you couldn't fault a guy for having to "adjust" his jock after a kick.

I would hope no NT player would conduct themselves in a manner that might draw an unsportsmanlike/technical foul.  And keep in mind that this is also a player with a degree from Arkansas.  I certainly expect him to work as hard as possible for the school who's name is on the front of his jersey.  But he might want to use some of his Arkansas connections for a job some day. 

I, however, am not so constrained.  Beat Arkansas

GO MEAN GREEN.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Really they didn’t even try. The stats back this up. Our RBs had 12 carries for 53 yards. That’s a respectable 4.4 yards per carry. Not amazing but solid enough to take a little pressure off the passing game. By comparison, TxSt averaged 4.6 but they ended up with over 200 yards because they stuck with the run. The running game didn’t struggle. Morris gave up on it before it could struggle because he doesn’t value the run game. Or he was so intimidated by a SunBelt team that he panicked?

      We picked the wrong quarterback

      The problem wasn’t the QB but rather the game plan. Or more specifically the head coach. I still don’t understand why you build your game plan around a rookie walk-on qb. They barely even tried to run the ball. The stat sheet shows 25 rushing attempts but around 6-7 of those were passing plays when the qb scrambled due to the breakdown of the pass blocking or that abortion of a WR pass with Young. Our RBs had 12 carries. Twelve. Stupid.

      MGN: Post game recap

      Run game definitely struggled. Observation from a lowly fan was the center's snaps were not crisp. There was the bad snap that hit the turf that Mestemaker recovered but there were several others that weren't on target that visibly caused timing to be off. Couple that with the DL regularly being in our backfield right after the snap and it's hard to run. I may be mixing games but I think even remember a TX State player practically meeting our RB at a hand-off. Mestemaker pulled it back and got taken down by a few defenders but there was just no room to get things going on the ground.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      If we struggle to another six win season then Morris has to go. Not a “hot seat” let’s see how year four goes.

      EM is the qb whisperer

      Untjim: Texas/Oklahoma doesn't produce great linemen anymore so we can't have great defenses. Me: how does UTSA and Texas State do it? Rick: defense Untjim: he doesn't want to hear it Hear what? Y'all are simultaneously saying the state doesn't produce great linemen which is necessary for a good defense but then say other G5 teams in our same state with our same pool of players are succeeding because of defense. Again, if they can do it why can't we? What's their excuse?
