Scoring is going to be several points fewer than last year imo. We've played two horrible defenses in USCe and LSU, one of the worst FCS teams in America, a mid PAC 12 team, and a MAC team picked last in its conference.Quote:

Our defense just needs to be competent and we should win the game.
With us missing starters next week, it's going to be interesting. I think getting Arkansas after AL and at 11:00 is to our advantage. Turnovers can win us the game. This game comes down to a couple things: (1) has Arkansas folded a little (2) can we get an Arizona effort from the defense.
See, I can be optimistic when I try. I just want to win and let the coaching chips fall where they may.
If we beat Arkansas Pittman's done. And if we do beat Arkansas I hope it builds some confidence with the team and coaches that leads to at least one more SEC win.
Pittman isn't going to be fired after this season. They just gave him a new lucrative deal.Quote:

There is an article out on Pitman that he has a performance clause in his buyout. If he drops below .500 in wins, they only pay 50% of his buyout.Quote:

There have been about 7-14 points given up per game directly responsible by the offense over the last few games.Quote:

Honestly he might be better served going ahead and retiring while he still has some good will with fans rather than prolonging it and making it more toxic next season with another bad year.
And that's what a good AD should do. If ours is just listening to the good ole boys pile on the manure instead of being proactive and gauging interest he should be fired too.Quote:

Even if Arnett survives, does Brock? Brock is a Leach guy it's not like Arnett asked for him.
Brock should have been fired a month agoQuote:

sounds as if CZA may go full on tuberville and let em all go huh?
Peterson have some more friends he wants to get on the staff?Quote:
