This guy was pretty good. Especially considering how beat up our offensive line was for the better part of the season.

Sam Olajubutu was named All-SEC first team by the SEC coaches. CollegeFootballNews.com Freshman All-America team included linebacker Freddie Fairchild and kick returner Felix Jones on the first-team and center/guard Jonathan Luigs on the second team. Jones was also named All-SEC second team by the SEC coaches as a return specialist.

With the emergence of the defense as the year progressed and the promise at quarterback provided by Casey Dick, Razorback fans do have opportunity for hope for next year.

I think everyone should just calm down over Mitch Mustain and the offensive coordinator coach debacle. It is a mess, and in some ways it's a totally stupid mess. But whatever happens we will have a football program next year and we have a lot of really great kids that will be playing. All is far from lost.
