D-Mac truly gave the Hogs everything he had. A shame it meant he could not stay healthy at the next level, but he is by far my absolute favorite all time HOG!!! Just a shame that he did not have a QB to compliment him, and as always with our team our offense has to score high points to win since our defense gave up so much all the time. Such a shame. These D-Mac teams could have gone so far with just a little bit better defensive play from our team.
The 2006 defense was solid. What killed that team was like you said poor QB play and the Nutt-Gus-Mustian drama. The 2007 team did have a blah defense though and had Nutt as HC still.
Yet still could not get to a bcs bowl. Needed to be better in the three games where teams scored 50-31, and 38 on us all losses. USC game we had no chance, and did not expect to win that game. LSU, and Florida game was heartbreaking. QB play vs Florida was awful, and our defense could not do anything to stop them. They had some decent plays now, and then, but overall we were just out matched against their offense, and Dick (completely fitting last name) did nothing to help them out. And don't get me started on the Mustain drama cause I'll be here all day typing about that!!!
Too be fair, 14 of the points scored by UF were on special teams and the offense turned it over 5 times to USC and didn't do squat overall. LSU also had a kickoff for a score and one of their other TDs they got the ball inside the Hogs 30. QB play was even worse against LSU.
Yea, you are right. Definitely agree about that! After that first game, and the 8 straight wins I really thought that was gonna be our year. Still hurts all these years later lol. Oh to be a Razorback fan!
9.2 a carry in this game that is simply unreal, I mean seriously who does that. So wanted him to win the Heisman, he deserved it. That man was the definition of running back.
Steve Spurrier had a Heisman vote since he won the trophy as a player. Despite DMAC’s 321 yards against his #1 SEC rush defense, Spurrier didn’t vote for DMAC 1st, 2nd, or even 3rd place in the Heisman.
As a Heisman voter you get your top 3 candidates. You write them in and the Heisman comity tallies the votes. Coach spurier was the only voter not to put McFadden on his top 3 in the ballot. So spurier left McFadden completely off his ballot. It was the closest vote in Heisman history to date. If spurier would of put McFadden on his ballet at any position McFadden would of won. I've hated spurier ever since. He is a prick of a human being, and any one who has spent any time around him will tell you so. I'm glad he was a bust at south Carolina. And left mid season. He did the same shit to Tim Tebo, he was the only coach not to vote Tim Tebo, preseason #1 qb in the SEC Tebo's senior year. He was called out about it to at a press conference. He just shrugged it off and blamed someone on his staff for the over sight. The man's a f'"-ing prick.
I think there are a couple things that held back that 2006 team and prevented DMAC from winning the Heisman as a sophomore (not mentioning the fact everyone said they couldn't give the Heisman to a sophomore even though they gave it to a sophomore the very next year). First, DMAC got into that fight where he kicked his toe off. That caused him to be seriously hurt for the USC game and caused a lot of sports commentators to question his character all year long. Next, Gus Malzahn not getting to run the offense. I think if Malzahn had run the offense in 06 he would have made it unstoppable. It's just crazy that we had that backfield and Damian Williams and Marcus Monk as well as that Oline and weren't able to win a couple more games that year. We certainly underperformed in the Citrus Bowl and the SECCG. Our defense was stout that year too. Also, I don't want to name names but attempting to catch that punt is what really cost us in the SECCG. So many things that could have been for Arkansas football the past 12 years!

Reason at times ...are only facts. And footnotes...that truly identify ....being unfairly excused....He was the best noted, proven, dominant player that year... Bar-none....in the Country period
Do you happen to have the arkansas vs UNT game? I think 07. The game that he stiff armed the helmet off a defender. I've never been able to find that play.
I don't have that one. I know a couple of guys that have the coaches show of that one and I hope to get it from them eventually. I was there and I'd love to see it again myself.
+WARMACHINE2013 a couple other plays I've wanted to find from former players was the time Mallet ran over a guy scrambling(maybe Kentucky?) and the time Matt Jones scrambled to the right and switched hands to the throw the ball left handed for a completion.
The only time I can think of Mallett doing that was against Auburn in 09 and it's in the vid I made of that one. I'm not sure which game Jones did that.
+WARMACHINE2013 that's probably it then. I can't remember what game it was that jones did it, I'm thinking ole miss but I could be and probably am wrong. I just remember trying to copy it as a kid with my friends.
The best player in college football that year by far......and he was robbed. The Heisman is nothing more than a popularity contest.....a joke....................WPS!🐗🏈🐗
DMC had the trophy stolen from him twice. He's body of work speaks for itself. He was the best!!
True
DMC was the man PERIOD
TRUTH!
At least once. Better than Troy Smith and Tebow in those years.
He should've won the heisman
Twice
At least once
And I’m a 25 year buckeye
I actually like Tebow but he was no where near the talent of McFadden. I was very disappointed in 2007, McFadden was the best player in the NCAA.
The only Razorback game I've been too. I think I picked a good one.
How he didn't get the Heisman I'll never know. He has the Heisman in my mind though.
Had the right stats.....played for the wrong school. Just how it goes at UA.
HERSHEL WALKER, BO JACKSON, DARREN MCFADDEN BEST SEC RB'S OF ALL-TIME
I also think that DMAC was the most exciting back possibly ever in college
Also can you put his performance against LSU in 2007 up
I will at some point.

Yea, what could have been. Hard to believe it's been nearly 11 years now.
Man, His explovisness was something serious.....
just had to relive some of the good ole days these days ain't so good
DMAC is top 3 college RB’s of all time.
In my eyes he has 2 Heisman trophies.
9.2 a carry in this game that is simply unreal, I mean seriously who does that. So wanted him to win the Heisman, he deserved it. That man was the definition of running back.
RUN DMC looking like Eric Dickerson gliding on glass through the hole. Nothing but love and respect from Texas \m/.
Longhorns suck😂
I GOT THAT WOOD
Iconic
amazing what looks like a bad run he picks up 7 or 8
Had to come back and watch greatness
Can we please go back to these uniforms, please.
And winning games....

First hog game I had ever been to, don't think there will be another one that ever tops it.
Steve Spurrier is petty.
DMC - good times. Every time he touched the ball I thought he would score. A grown ass Man among boys this game. He just made the Hogs Go.
I will never understand how Spurrier still put Tebow over McFadden on his Heisman ballot after this game.
Will Henley its because d Mac got into a bar fight and the voters found out about it

@@colecopeland7403 The fuck you mean found out about it, they knew about it all year, as it happened months before the season.
@@aaronlovell6026 Really, Tebow was not a good QB, if those teams weren't loaded with wr talent, he'd have been a glorified RB.
He was a Florida grad.
The 🐐
If he had a better O line in the NFL he would be in the same conversation as Barry Sanders.

Jared Davis i’ll say his name reggie fish if i’m not mistaking lil dude lol. I remember that like yesterday
I think we played in the capitol one bowl that year if im not mistaken
Reason at times ...are only facts. And footnotes...that truly identify ....being unfairly excused....He was the best noted, proven, dominant player that year... Bar-none....in the Country period
This guy reminded me so much of Tyrone Wheatley.... Lots of legs, power, but the acceleration through the whole was like crazy...
Hey warmachine, can we get a full game video of this South Carolina game? I remember I went to this game when I was 14 and barely remember. Wps!
later that year, spurrier left mcfadden completely off his heisman ballot.
Do you happen to have the arkansas vs UNT game? I think 07. The game that he stiff armed the helmet off a defender. I've never been able to find that play.
I don't have that one. I know a couple of guys that have the coaches show of that one and I hope to get it from them eventually. I was there and I'd love to see it again myself.

Can you only imagine if Petrino got a year with that backfield also DMAC>TeBLOW
Should have hoisted the heavy one at least once
Run Dmc!
Absolutely sickening to this day how Steve spurrier left McFadden off his Heisman ballot two years in a row.
wild. back when we had annual top ten defenses too
Eh, not top ten, but they were typically solid. The 2007 defense struggled some.
DMac should've been the Heisman trophy winner at least once. But Arkansas was not a favorite for the voters. We Got That Wood!
woopig..dmac bringing that wood. lol
The best player in college football that year by far......and he was robbed. The Heisman is nothing more than a popularity contest.....a joke....................WPS!🐗🏈🐗
I ❤️ Neve Campbell
spurrier stole the heisman from him for this game.
Shoulda came back 1 more yr
He was the #3 overall pick lol, he made the right decision.
