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.
