Razorback RB Injured

[NWADog]

Apparently Johnathan Williams broke his foot yesterday during a scrimmage. All the Hog fans up here in NWA are sick! It's pretty terrible news for them and hopefully it's nothing serious so he can do well in the league but that really lowers there chances of being as successful in my opinion.

 

[121Josey]

Don't worry. He'll be back in time for the State game.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Not really worried regardless

Arky plays a style that I'm not sure translates well to the SEC.

They went 7-6 last year, with a very good D.

And late in the season they whipped OM, and LSU, neither of which was really ready to play them.

They are tough, but I'm not buying all of the hype for them.

I don't buy all the hype for them this year, but they run a style that fits the SEC: the run the football and play tough defense. Old School SEC football. But when DL and LB's are slimming down to combat the spread offense, UPigg is beefing up between the tackles and playing big boy football.

They had a roller-coaster 2014 season, to be sure, but they were about 5 plays away from being 10-3.

And Clearly OM and LSU were just not ready to play.


They are going to have to show me....everything else is BS!

 

[DAWG61]

Arkansas isn't bigger than MSU. We can play every bit as physical as them. They have a slow offense that wants to win by dominating time of possession. We have to be efficient on offense and not turn the ball over and we won't have any issues with them. If we can score early and force them to pass we can route them.

 

[57stratdawg]

Theyre the most overrated team in the conference IMO.

 

[NWADog]

I think they're trying to build like Bama and LSU with the monster guys in the trenches with some stud RB's. They just don't have the defense to back up their slow style of offense. Plus them losing contributors like Flowers, Phylon, and Spaight have to hurt. The Razorback fans up here have extremely lofty expectations and for some reason believe Brandon Allen is gonna be great. I think they'll be tough but still floating around 7-8 wins. Especially with J. Will getting injured.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Father Cochise keeps harping on the end of last year's game. He says there was almost a fight after the INT. I don't recall that. Anyone care to expound or find the footage?

Arkansas is bigger than MSU - at least in select positions. A simple google search could have told you that.

And how did that route go in Starkville last year? Oh, you must be referring to the stellar record that State has in the State of Arkansas. I said that they are overrated this year, but that doesn't mean that they will just hand us a victory. State plays them the week after they play Bama and that is usually a tough game.

There was definitely a stand off after we took the final knee. I have no clue if there was a specific event that caused it (such as going to hard on the kneel down) or if it was just a culmination of a very physical, hard fought game.

What I do know, is that Arky's defense won them more games last year than their offense. And their offense is going to get much better with the same QB back there. They better hope they fill those holes on defense or Bert is looking at the cellar again in 2015.

I think OM, LSU, and Arky all will have a decent shot at the cellar this year, considering their QB situations. aTm might be in trouble too if they don't figure out how to play some damn defense.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Is Hunter Henry still wide open? Somebody cover that guy.

 

[patdog]

Sandwiched between our 2 biggest games of the year is a terrible time to play anybody. Wish the SEC would let us play a patsy like Bama, Auburn, etc. get to do.

 

[57stratdawg]

****, even when we did cover him he still caught. That guy was the best college football player in the country one night in Starkville, MS last November.

 

[msstate7]

Ark plays lsu before us though, so they'll be banged up too.

 

[DAWG61]

So did you do that simple google search yet since it's so simple? MSU is every bit as big as Arkansas. If you want to nitpick between 170 football players be my guest. Have fun with that.

 

[dawgstudent]

Watching the replay of that last drive by Arkansas - we had blanket coverage on a lot of those passes and just amazing plays by Arkansas.

A deep hurl that Cox inexplicably didn't intercept or knock down. A tipped ball caught by a receiver behind the play. A really bad blitz package followed up by a catch where Henry was the only guy tall enough to catch the pass. Everything was going the other way on us.

Then Redmond saves our *** with an INT in the end zone.

You right.** UPigg was the 10th largest team in Belemia's first year. Can't agree with you that they have gotten smaller. Here are the OL numbers. I'll hang up and listen.

That catch he made on 4th and 30 or more on the last drive to keep things going for Arkansas was ridiculous.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

That catch he made on 4th and 30 or more on the last drive to keep things going for Arkansas was ridiculous.

Even more ridiculous was the lack of a flag on Arkansas for holding. I think it was Chris Jones who was mugged by the Piggie OL on that play.

There's more than just offensive lineman on a football team

 

[KentuckyDawg13]

Sat Down South calculations are wrong

I took the total weight of our 16 OL players, divided by the total weight 4891lbs...that's 305.6875lb average. Then again, doesn't surprise me that Saturday Down South is wrong...they are routinely wrong about most when it comes to MSU sports. Hack site.

Correct. It was obvious. Had the refs done their job, that game would've never come down to a last second INT.

 

[Bulldogg31]

That was the only game my wife and I made it back to Starkvegas for last year, and I was certain I had had jinxed us big time. It would have undoubtedly been my fault...thanks Will Redmond!

 

[thf24]

Also their OL had blanket coverage on our pass rush and the refs didn't seem to mind. CJ would have had a sure sack on the 4th and 15 play to end the game if their LT hadn't been holding onto him for dear life from behind.

I think the passing game will be more explosive with some added weapons at WR plus a new OC/QB coach. Collins needs to stay healthy now though, interestingly enough former Ole Miss RB commit Rawleigh Williams will get a lot of playing time now with Jonathan Williams out.

I see Arkansas and LSU as similar teams but that game being in Baton Rouge might give LSU the edge

Hi DAWG61. Being big and playing big is Two things. If you have a huge team with a coach who wants to be fancy not bruising, being big means little. I hope MSU budgets more time, in practice, on the physical game for short yardage and goal line football. You bet Arkansas will budget accordingly for the big mans game. Both MSU and Arkansas have strengths and weaknesses so practice priorities will determine who really is big.

Ok bud. Hope you're prepared to be the biggest bust in the SEC this year. There's a reason why Wisconsin gave zero 17s Bielema left.

 

[coachnorm]

I will be supporting MSU when we play Arkansas. My point is, if we are bigger than Arkansas but we do not play big ball, when needed, are we really bigger than Arkansas? MSU has greatly improved on offense with the less physical game, but if we want to get better, we need to dial up the physical game when needed. Some programs can do both.

Lol you think Arkansas can dial up the less physical game better than we can play physical? Some programs can do both and I promise you MSU is way far ahead of the Fat Bielemas at doing exactly that.

Remember, I am on your side and have flown out to Mississippi to root against Arkansas for MSUs last 4 home games against them. I have the mindset that we have to get better to survive in a tough SEC environment. Arkansas made a big move with the 4 star quarterback addition. We have a potentially great quarterback also, but an addition of the tough physical game will serve us well. Arkansas is getting better and will be tough for anyone; I watched the Arkansas vs Alabama game last year at the Veranda and a statement was made. I will watch MSU play Arkansas and root Dawgs with all my heart, by I will be very nervious.

Im not drinking the Piggies Kool-Aid. They can't keep up offensively with us.

Arkansas has a quarterback?
