The Game

[NTDawg]

Nobody is talking about the game. This game is the most important game in our history because we are playing today and nobody is talking about the game.

I would like to hear from those who know the game better than I do why I should or shouldn't be worried.

Forget it I worried anyway.

It's strength on strength. They run the ball well, we stop the run well. Our weakness is in the secondary, they don't like the forward pass. Really just comes down to who executes their plan, doesn't turn the ball over, and avoids stupid penalties.

Things you can worry about: Dak hasn't looked good running the ball the last couple of quarters. Might be more to that ankle than they are letting on.

 

[NTDawg]

Because they run the ball better than anyone we faced do we play our base defense or do bring a extra man in the box.

I do t think we let Dak run as much which I think is ok because of the way JRob is running and I think/hope our receivers have a better game than they did last week.

Speaking of our receivers what is the status of Lewis. He started last week but he didn't play much after he started.

Auburn runs the ball better than ark.

 

[NTDawg]

They run differently

 

[msstate7]

Yeah, but auburn #1 in sec rushing offense. Ark #4

 

[NTDawg]

Ok let me ask my question differently. Because of Arkansas's physical running game do we need to make any adjustments or can we handle it with our front seven?

 

[msstate7]

We'll try to stop them with front 7. If we can, game over. They can't just drop back and pass. They have to use PA to hurt us in the air. They have to get us to overload box to win

 

[Palos verdes]

No, this is the best rushing team we've faced.

I also look for them to try and exploit our secondary. Their goal in this game is to try and be a little more balanced, making passes to keep our db's on alert, then attacking with their tb duo. Hopefully our front 7 will get numb early on. It's going to be a battle guys.

 

[Boardtown Remy]

Arkansas has inferior talent. Yes their o line is the biggest in football, but that means it slow. They will use slot of tricks. Draws, play action, fake end around, fake punt, onside kick, trick plays. Add long as we play sound fundamental football we win.

They will not stop our offense. No one has yet. It won't be them. We are inevitable.

 

[Chesusdog]

We've been a bit preoccupied by corporate tents, ****** rap songs, and looking ahead to Alabama and UM.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I'm not concerned about a loss, but

they are a big strong Big 10/ I mean SEC team.

They statically whipped BAMA. I did not get to see any of that game, so I don't really know how it went down.

But we have got to pay attention, and come to play.

 

[Grove Sh*tter]

Didn't Jackson State have the country's biggest oline when we played them last year? How'd that turn out for them? It will be a tough game, but I truly expect us to win by 2 scores based on our defensiveresults against LSU and auburn and our unstoppable versatile scoring machine.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Agreed. We will get Ark's best shot.
We need better special teams play.
Some clutch grabs by DeRunya
Sure tackling
A healthy DAK

And we will be fine.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Not sure if that's apples to apples

but announcers say they have the largest OL in ALL of football, at every level.

Probably would be a good thing to have a little smaller oline next season.

 

[klong-dog]

Be prepared to see their 2/3 TE's. They use them more than any team we'll face this year.

Statistically speaking there rushing stats are about the same as LSU and Auburn. LSU has played one more game than them, but one was versus us where they only rushed for 89 yards. Auburn has played one less game than Arkansas.
