Arkansas returns their starting OL in tact but moves their outstanding guard to left tackle. Denver Kirkland moves from guard where he is outstanding to left tackle where is playing below average and Dan Skipper moves to right tackle where he is struggling. Arkansas can't run the ball against Toledo and loses. Why would any coach move a player from a position where they exceling and above average to a position where they are average or below average. Connor McG's play at left tackle is below average right now. His footwork is messed up and he is reaching at smaller faster d-ends. He wiffed more than once on blocks against ASU and SEMO. I never saw him do that at guard. Sounds like BB and GP subscribe to the same coaching philosophy but they are both paying the price. I think it is just a poor decision on both of their parts.
