Knile Davis injury impact to Razorbacks

Unfortunately the Razorbacks are not loaded in 2011 like they were in 2008 (McFadden, Jones, Hillis) in the ball running department.  With Knile Davis out for the year (expect a comeback in week 9- home against South Carolina) that puts additional pressure on the offense as he was the offense.

The Razorbacks have a QB that has limited playing time, but he did well last year against Auburn and he has a very good WR corp.  There are two big questions:  will an inexperienced O-line have what it takes to give Wilson a chance to get the ball out and will the coaching staff be able to plan around their weakness.

Davis would have the same difficulty as his back up, Ronnie Wingo, except being the SECs leading rusher in 2010 makes me think he would make it happen.

Fret not, if the passing game works and/or the line can open up some holes for Wingo then they have a chance.  Why?  Because the Razorbacks return a very good defense, both against the run and coverage- if you can hold field position and stay close there is always a chance.
