To this point of the season arky tackling has been horrendous and we like YAC, and I just feel like we have a big edge in this matchup. We don't turn the ball over we win comfortably.
    The Arkansas secondary is actually very experienced but the problem is two of the starters are former walk-ons. Losing Jalen Catalon was a big blow. Dwight McGlothern, CB transfer from LSU, has been good and Myles Slusher at nickel is good when healthy but has missed most of the season. The rest just aren't good.

    Unlike last year when we played a 3-8 almost exclusively, we're playing mostly 4-down this year and blitzing the LB Drew Sanders a lot. So I'm not sure which we do for this game since it's such a different offense from the ones we've faced so far.

    Good info, thanks. You always seem to be very honest in your assessments.

    Arkansas has no choice but to come after Will tomorrow.

    - If they get to Will often, it's going to be a really close game.

    - If they don't get to Will & MSU is hitting quick passes, it's blowout city

    I think that's the key to whether or not we win. Keeping those guys off of Will.

    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    They can't tackle. Challange them with the short fast pass.

    We need delayed draws and PA to be heavy tomorrow. They will drop 8 early, but if they're down at half.. I expect they'll go man and bring the house. Hope our O line is a mirror of last week.

    Dam WSP and TUSK have been here as long as Bumper Poole has been playing at Arky.
