UPig fans on their hogville board think that hogs are better at WR, CB, and O-line than LSU and therefore have a chance to beat us outright.
I will give hogs a little credit, they do have some talent at WR but not sure better than LSU.

Let them keep believing it. Maybe they'll get their players believing it too. And then we can torch them for 600 yards just like we did LSU
Bo Bounds said this morning Arkansas wouldn't have anybody on their defense on the two deep for LSU.
you have to be careful making any assumptions after 1 week. could be a tough game.
They blitzed every play vs UGA. Going to be some plays. Franks is good though. They'll get get some points.
Let?s not read our own press clippings. In a 10 game conference only schedule the mentality has to be that your opponent could beat you any given week.
LSU was overrated based on last year, came in with a downright odd game plan on both sides of the ball and played very sloppy on top of that.
That being said, it should not have been as close as it was, we gifted them 4 turnovers including a pick 6, and they also turned an ill advised wonder duck 50/50 into a passing touchdown (could just as easily been a pick or even a 100 yard pick 6).
Arkansas also gave UGA all they wanted for a half.
So both sides should come in with some confidence. Leach will be preaching that we better be ready to play.
you're right ... that was some entertaining delusional reading there but a few of them get it ... and more than a few don't get it
We absolutely have to be rational about our expectations. We have a new offensive and defensive system and guys playing for the first time. We are going to have bumps in the road for sure. We have seen what we are capable of though now with a competent balls out coaching staff and that should give us hope we can compete with anyone, doesn't mean we'll go undefeated but we should have confidence in what our team can do now.
This guy sum it up well.
"LSU was 27/46 passing for 345
LSU ran 38 times for 80 yards...
I know, I know... most on here think LSU sucks and we are more talented than them...lol"
Link to the Arky board??
They're already arguing about their D getting completely gassed in the second half and UGA's offense taking over. One poster bets that Costello has a huge fourth quarter on them. And, come on Red, we do have a few guys that would have made LSU's two deep. The absolute trashing of this defense by certain posters was uncalled for.
For a fan-base that has an affinity for "squealin", they should do fine Saturday...**

An understated part of Arkansas's game is that their coach likely literally had the Georgia playbook to study over and game plan against. He knew what Kirby & co we're gonna start with on O. Shouldn't have been a surprise to see them make Georgia sweat early. Then halftime adjustments came and boom, back to reality.
If KJ can withstand the Odom Blitz scheme then this will be another SEC record performance.
I am very anxious heading into this game but the one true confidence I take from LSU is Mike Leach's first statements (recorded, at least) in the locker room post-game to the players: "As good as you think this game was, [this game we] played, we have to get better this week. We have to get a week better this week." It is absolutely baptized in "coach speech" but if Leach's mentality right after the biggest win of our program in 5 years was "we have to get better," we're in a very good place right now. And then he's handed the gameball for his debut win and instantly thanks/credits the team for getting him there. I love that s***. He even adds a "Before I get choked up..." JoMo told us what to think, CML is showing us how to think.
Arky can give our defense trouble. Smith and Boyd can move the chains and Burks in the post is a threat.
Come on NWA..... you know what's up.
Arkansas could be playing an NFL team this weekend.....their fans would expect a win.
This is true. Their hope really is remarkable. Georgia was their 20th consecutive SEC loss.
Yet still, they are more talented than LSU and are about to take down one of the hottest teams in the SEC. Maybe we should hand down the "don't stop believing" to the hog fans.
Their excited guys and they saw reason for hope against UGA. We'd be excited as well.
Thing is though.... UGA is running a prehistoric offense compared to what Leach runs & MSU is light years better at QB than UGA.
Also, Arkansas only has 1 week to prepare
To Arkansas' likely advantage, when looking at Arkansas DC Barry Odom's career, I'm thinking he has experience against Leach
As a GA in 2003 at Missouri, they beat Tech 62-31
In 2009 as a the safeties coach at Mizzou, they did not play Tech
So Odom only has experience against Leach as a GA
2000 Ada HS (OK) (assistant)
2001?2002 Rock Bridge HS (MO)
2003 Missouri (GA)
2009?2011 Missouri (S)
2012?2014 Memphis (DC/LB)
2015 Missouri (DC/LB)
2016?2019 Missouri
2020?present Arkansas (AHC/DC/S)
Any comments on their game with Georgia and their 20th STRAIGHT SEC loss?
well one delusional fan base is moon-walking anyway ... didn't want to start a new thread but I found this from Tigerdroppings kinda funny

They will move the ball on us, probably better than LSU. They are built to run and Franks is better than dude at LSU. He also tends to throw picks when you get close him or flash in his face.
I have little doubt that someone is going to put up a ton of points on us and limit the Air Raid before the year is over, and it could happen more than once and/or sometime soon.
But I have major doubts that Arkansas is the team to do that. I realize that almost any improvement from them is going to feel like major progress considering how bad the Morris years were. But they still have a long way to go.
This would be a really bad loss by us. There is a reason why we are almost a 3 touchdown favorite and most people have us covering that. I could see them getting some yards and points on us, but I have no faith in them stopping the Air Raid. Heck, even Moorhead put up 51 and 52 on Arkansas two years in a row. I struggle to see a scenario where they can keep up with our offense barring some major COVID absences or a ton of turnovers.
