I'd be shocked if we were in a position to lose late but I could definitely see this game feel uncomfortable and be a bit of a slog. Arkansas is pretty good defensively in the red zone, we aren't very good (better last weekend - hopefully a sign of things to come).

Could see it being a 13-7 game at halftime or something.

This is not a year to take anything for granted. Crush them. A win would salvage their season.

We are Arkansas' last chance to redeem their season. They have a QB who has lit us up in the past. Their defense is very solid and plays a lot of zone (that our QB struggles with throwing picks against). We are kicking off at 11 AM. It is Homecoming, so there are some extra distractions.

Yeah, it is a trap game. I think we win given all that I've seen from each team but it could go the other way if Alabama doesn't play with urgency.

Eh I'd say Treylon Burks lit us up more than Jefferson.

100%. He'd just run 25 yards down field, turn around and post up.

Yeah, he was a difference maker for their whole offense. Hasn't quite been the same since he left because none of their guys got that pro-quality combo of size, speed, and height.

I think Alabama has been tied or trailed at halftime in every game but MTSU and MSU. I guess trends suggests expecting about the same this weekend. Arkansas is vastly superior to MSU. State is the worst team in the conference this year. They're probably going 0-8 unless one of their future opponents has major injury problems.

I honestly don't think this team has any "trap" games. Of all their faults, there hasn't been a lack of effort or looking like they're taking plays off. They haven't blown anyone out or had an easy road. Every game is a challenge, and trap games are for teams that can cruise, this team hasn't had that luxury.

I think we play much better next week. Glad to get the win.
