3. Can Bielema win with this team?

Of all the questions there are for Arkansas, this has the biggest impact.

This is the toughest it has been talent-wise for Bielema since his arrival in Fayetteville. But it is the best coaches that can mask the issues of their team, and still find ways to win.

He was able to do so a few times last year, with a win on the road against TCU and at home versus Florida-both games which most people had the other team winning.

This year however, is going to be much tougher. With not a lot of depth in most positions, and not a whole lot of experience either, we will see how good of a coach Bielema truly is, as well as a developer of talent.

He will need some of his players from this past class to make an immediate impact, as well as finding some players on last year’s roster to take a big step forward this year.

If he can find another seven-win season it will go a long way into finding more talent for the future.
