Take note of the Arkansas-SC outcome...

[Frances Drebin]

...I could easily see our game with the Hogs going the same way. We struggle with our pass defense, and we can't keep up with the Hogs score-wise. I could see that one getting ugly.

I hope not. Winning two out of the last three to finish with 9 wins would be pretty cool.

Run the ball, control the clock, keep their offense on the sidelines. Lattimore is not 100% for USC and it's killing them in this game.

I don't see how we can keep it close. Maybe we'll have some more good luck and Mallet will have the flu.

and I think our ability to run the ball and run the clock will help us stay with Arkansas.</p>

Fortunately we have a blitz happy coordinator and a secondary that can make plays on the ball. If we can get a little pressure on Mallet, we might be able to force him into a mistake or two. If that happens and our ground game is eating clock, I think we can win that game.
