So here's the question

How in the world does anyone think Arkansas will be a .500 team or better?
I hope this place isn't full of the Hogville crazies, but I've seen some legit people, okay Tom Murphy, predict seven wins in the regular season and a bowl win for Arkansas this year.
And I just don't see it.
By my count, you'll see at least 15 freshmen who will see significant playing time, if not starting, this season.
A new coach, with a new offense and a new defense, and 15 freshmen don't equal seven wins
Harry King has went with 5-7 and sticking to it. King also correctly called Arkansas's eight-win season last year.
I think five wins is probably optimistic. It really assumes that the Hogs will stay healthy for the length of the season, and even great teams don't stay healthy the entire year.

On another note, it looks like the cult of Mustain took another hit.
Derek Samson in the Sporting News wrote this, "1. Sanchez back in; Mustain fading
So it appears Southern Cal quarterback Mark Sanchez and his dislocated knee are ready to start the opener Saturday at Virginia.
And what does that mean for transfer Mitch Mustain, the most famous college quarterback holding a clipboard? Sporting News Today college football columnist Matt Hayes spent Saturday in Los Angeles, watching Southern Cal’s practice, and said Sanchez went through full-speed drills for the first time since dislocating his knee in the first week of camp. Mustain, however, is a different story. Hayes reported that Mustain has fallen to third string, with freshman Aaron Corp moving into the backup role.
Hayes said Corp took nearly all the snaps with the second-team unit.
Southern Cal offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian told Hayes that there has been no specific second-team quarterback designated yet.
But judging by Saturday’s practice, no announcement is necessary."

Also worth noting that in the high school All-American game, Mustain was benched for Jevon Snead, who is now the starting quarterback at, wait for it, ... Ole Miss.
