I’ve seen Arkansas a little this year. I seem to remember that they have some “goons” on the d line
Also comes down to who coaches (Pry and Poindexter gone) and who plays vs opts out (Dotson, Brisker, AK?)

Sparty vs Pitt in Peach Bowl
This will be the first decent team the pitters have played all season. If they can hang with Michigan State, then I will admit that the pitters have a half decent team this year. If Michigan State blows them out, then that will confirm that pitt's good record is a total product of their cupcake schedule.

Maybe I will have to make the hour or so trip north to Tampa. Not expecting a win after this disaster of a season so is it really worth spending the time and money? At least my travel expenses consist mainly of gas and parking.

Perfect matchup for Pitt…Sparty has no pass defense…no blizzard protection in Atlanta.

Penn State drew a very difficult opponent. As we’ve witnessed all season, PSU doesn’t do well against large opposing DL’s and OL’s. Arkansas has both.

I'm kind of interested in seeing the offense against the 3-3-5 Arkansas runs. Don't see that one very much. But I believe at least 2 SEC teams run it. I believe Ole Miss is the other? Might be wrong though.

You can only run a 3-3-5 if you are stout up front and Arkansas is.

Franklin is going to get schooled about the importance of size and athleticism on the OL and DL

But he’ll refuse to learn

They certainly have a nice DL and a big and talented OL.

The 5 DB base defense might give the PSU passing attack fits, especially if Dotson opts out.
