I really think Alabama is a public sand trap

Ole Miss last year.

I bet he throws at least 2....and those will be crucial.

Well you're sitting pretty then.  I definitely think public pressure could move higher before kickoff, but right now it seems to be settling in nicely at 7.  I could see it going as high as 8.

They did lose to South Carolina before the Bama game so they may not have been in the Top 10.  I don't really know how to check it either.  It really doesn't matter though.

Mallet does a very good job of protecting the football.  He definitely won't be throwing 4 intereceptions.  One maybe, and/or maybe a fumble.

I think most of you don't understand how frustrating it is for Jimmydafreak. Jimmy and I know this team/game and we know the most likely result, a bama blow out. We are pretty much on here BEGGING you not to take Arkansas and lose money. Ultimately, it will be up to you. We aren't trying to act like badass and/or say BAMA is the most unbeleivable team we have ever seen. We are just dumbfounded at why others can choose Arkansas in this game. We want you to win, not lose. That's why he has remained posting. He is not still posting to try and prove you wrong. He knows ultimately you will either listen and heed his advice or you will walk off the plank. Hopefully it's not the latter.

Kid - my point was Arkansas doesn't run the ball to win games, they do it to keep defenses honest and if they aren't, the CAN beat you in the run game.  Arkansas outgained ULM 500 yds to 188 overall - mostly passing because ULM was defending the run & Mallet threw for 300 yards.  If Bama tries to rush 8 men, blitz every down, i.e., like they did last year, this group of backs this year will make them pay: that was my point and yes, I did caveat that by saying it hasn't shown necessarily in the Arkansas' YTD rushing stats, just like Bama's defensive pressure/disruption of opposing QBs isn't reflected in their sack statistic, but both are a reality opposing teams have to contend with. That was my point and one that most don't realize about Arkansas because they simply look at the rushing stats and think the Hogs can't run the ball. It's a mistake - hopefully one Bama's DC will make, but I really don't expect that.  Bama won't blitz as much this year IMO, but we'll see, if they do, Wingo et al will have a big day....

Alabama is the most talented,best coached team in the country.....if you're gonna go large against them,it better be more than just a hunch

Georgia scored 18 more points against the hogs at home than they did to an elite CFB defense on the road. For a "rookie" QB home and away are very different especially coming off a tough loss in a game they probably should have won.

Youre pretty far off on your rankings system here, Arkansas' D is a 5 and Petrino is a 7 compared to a 10 for Saban? I love the .2 on the offensive grade too because this obviously isnt an exact or for that instance any system its just your opinion. Im glad you bring up the dbs though because sports are all about matchups so if you know that Arkansas' pass game is its strength and Bamas secondary is their weakness it should be closer shouldnt it?

You do bring up good points about clock management and how both teams will score which I agree with and I also respect that you didnt go overboard with your final score prediction. This game really depends on who gets on top early in the first and third quarter, Bama isnt made to come from behind but Arkansas is.

V Tech   (2 play 54 yards  .37 seconds)  (5 play - 74 yards, 2.40)

Arkansas  ( I play, 50 yards, .10 seconds ) ( 1 play, 80 yards, .20 seconds ) (5 play, 35 yards, 2.28 )

Kentucky  ( 3 play, 37 yards, .57 seconds ) ( 2 play 38 yards, .45 seconds )

Ole Miss  ( 6 play 61 yards  2.49 )

South Carolina  ( 6 play, 68 yards, 3.01 )

LSU  ( 8 play, 81 yards, 3.20 )( 1 play, 73 yards, .13 seconds )

Miss St.  ( 6 play, 80 yards, 3.04 ) ( 1 play, 48 yards, .08 seconds ) ( 1 play, 70 yards, .11 seconds )

Auburn  ( 5 play 45 yards  2.18 )

Florida  ( 2 play 72 yards  .59 seconds ) ( 5 play, 74 yards, 2.48 )

Texas ( 7 play, 57 yards, 3.27 )

Just because Bama usually has the lead, is no reason to say they aren't  made to come from behind .  Bama has he capabilities to score from anywhere on the field, a pass from Mcelroy, or a handoff to one of their backs.

Pay special attention to the game above, highlighted BLUE

Okay expert, may we all kiss you ass because you know more then us.

Whats the Razorbacks going to show Alabama, they have not seen?

Screens or deep ball passes, or could it be just a midfield pass.

To have a good game against Alabama they need balance, or Alabama will get turnovers.  

Well played.

I would say that a few of those defenses are not quality like Kentucky and Ole Miss and also Arkansas. Also 5 of the 18 you posted are less than <50 yard drives. Also, just because you have big play ability doesn't mean your built to come from behind. As far as sustained drives 5 of these are 1 play and I wouldn't really factor that into being able to come from behind. But, you are right and did do more research than I did on that point so I give you credit for that.

I still believe what I said is correct but again you made your point and supported it with facts so I have respect for that. Thanks for being thoughtful in your posts and not just saying things.

Ahhhh, I'll be fine.  I have a good public relations firm behind me.  They will rebuild my image.

Been through it before.  I begged for the Clemson & Georgia games a couple of years ago.  Now I just figure if people haven't learned their lesson yet, they deserve to lose their money.  Now if I could just figure out a way for them to lose their money to me instead of their bookie, then I would really be ok with it.
