Ark. had the formula to beat A&M, kept the ball for 2/3 of the game, but had some bad breaks and lost in OT. Until the next to last drive of the game A&M only had 40 plays on offense. Arkansas ran right between the tackles and play action passed on 1st down a lot. We don't have a running game to slow down their pass rush off the edge. I just don't see us matching up well with A&M, but that's why they play the game.
Yes we can. We've yet to put it all together on offense yet, & next week may be the week.
We can absolutely score 30
We need to have some drives where we establish some type of running game and eat some clock to limit aTm's possessions. Warren will have a time blocking Myles Garrett. I think Holloway may be our guy to step up.
I agree and I think we can. I sure as heck wish it was in Mississippi.
I saw Warren limping around which is probably why Jenkins played so much.
I'll be honest- I don't feel real good about next week. I thought we would win this week- so I'm not being negative. Tonight told me that we aren't going to see a lot of Lee and Williams this year.
After next week I feel pretty good about the rest of the season though.
I feel better than this.Quote:

I know this, if we get in a passing contest where we have several 3 and outs, they could put 50 on us. They have 3 receivers that I don't know how we cover.Quote:

We absolutely have a chance. We're going to get 75+ plays next week = 30+ points. Won't see the chicken little move of keeping the ball out of Dak's hands next week ~ Aub & USM.
Mullen is making all the right moves ~ playing the young defenders more, go with Graves FT, rotate younger OL (Jenkins played a good amount @ LT tonight), WRs as the focal point of offense......just one more decision to make...Lee or Williams over Shump? I say Lee. It's obvious, it's time.
Based on how they played tonight I can understand where you are coming from on that. However, I think they are a rival for Arkansas plus there is a war between Bielema and the spread guys. Lots of hard feelings in that game which was at a neutral site.Quote:

I think we will have to play well & better than we did tonight, but I ABSOLUTELY believe we can win.
That is correct, TX and AR have a bigger historic rivalry. The neutral site game with A&M is a recruiting benefit for AR. Every other year, they are the home team, which allows them to invite recruits to the game at Jerry world in Dallas. They currently have 18 TX players on their team, and they said that last week, AR coaches visited 26 high schools in TX leading up to the game with A&M. They also got the #1 running back in TX last year.Quote:
