Five straight SEC wins?

[18IsTheMan]

We've done it exactly once in 35 seasons in the conference: 2005. Not even during our 11-2 years did we achieve it. It's up for grabs this week vs Arkansas.
Very big game for us. A lot at stake.

The way there have been crazy upsets this year in the SEC, I hope we don’t contribute to that by offering up an upset to Arky.

A&M had the threat of a good defense.

I can't find anything Arkansas does well. Maybe ST.

That said, it's still a road game in the SEC, so I expect a tussle.

If they can come within a TD of beating Tennessee, they are a problem.

You better have that bag handy again this weekend.

All but 2 of Tennessee’s sec games have been close. They also turned the ball over a good bit in that game.

Maybe. They played a decent Auburn team tight too. I hope we cruise but they do have good athletes and haven't had their upset that every other SEC team not named Vandy has had this year.

I agree, hopefully the A&M game gets the team refocused so they don’t sleepwalk through Arkansas. No game is a gimme.

Tough place to play; I lived there for a while.

 

[Psycock]

Any SEC team is no gimme.

The worst team in the SEC is about as close as you'll get to one.

I am not worried about Arkansas.

At Razorback Stadium?

Man, that's another level above a luxury suite.

So all we have to do to get Game Day in the Horseshoe is beat one of the worst teams in the SEC this weekend. To make the CFP and set up a huge game with #1 UGA we just have to beat a terrible ARK team on the road. We are ranked in the top 25, they are at the bottom of the conference with Vandy.

It should be a no-brainer win for us, but then there is that history problem we have…

I have only seen a few plays of Arky so I do not know anything about them, but they seem to have a running QB ... that makes me nervous ... I want to face the QB's who are not running threats (think the FL QB we faced) ... I am glad our defense does not have to face Sellers ....

He has rushed for 146 yards on the season, a 1.8 ypc. Shouldn't be a huge running threat.

He has thrown the ball ok, 60% completion, but only 8 TDs and 6 INTs.

Wow ... that few years and that low an average ... well, I think I saw highlights from the Arky game but maybe it was another team ... just need our team to go in, handle business on O, D, and ST's, and protect the ball ... dominate so Sellers can rest that ankle ...

There doesn't seem to be anything they do particularly well, but that doesn't mean it will be an easy game. It never is for us, lol.

This is a game where we should be able to win with some style points, but that never seems to happen for us.

 

[Gamecock Disciple]

I'm a bit concerned about our rushing attack ... definitely took a hit with Fuller out and now with Sellers limited, more of a challenge. I have been impressed with Augustave ... I preferred him in there as opposed to Coleman ... this would be a good game for very minimal mistakes .....

 

[Deathstar]

It would be nice if we could get ahead quickly and be able to rest Sellers for the UGA game, sadly we do not have a backup QB that they trust with the ball.

Short of old school vandy, it would be a pretty tall order in a conference game to get a lead so big that you can rest your starters in any meaningful way

This makes me worried about Arkansas.

Deep. I'd much rather be playing Vandy than Arkansas.

ARK has more pride than Vandy for sure, and the usually beat us.

Yep. We're the better team so hopefully we'll be locked in for a battle and get it done. But much like Baton Rouge and the Everglades, there's something in the water around Little Rock. Those guys are tough as nails.

I've been on the J. Coleman train for a while. BUT, seeing him in the last two games get more PT, I believe I'd like to see #4 as RB1. Augustave runs and finishes with violence - he seems a little more explosive than Coleman.

Augustave is listed as a Sr. But does anyone on here know how the new 5 to play 5 rule affects him?

Good question and I have no clue .... I would think if Sellers has another year, certainly Augustave would, too. Aside from his running with authority, he generally always falls forward ... those extra 1-2 years add up ... Coleman is a good change of pace back but my preference is Augustave ... Go Gamecocks!
