Arky's OTs vs Mingo and Montgomery

This scares me, but our OT's did pretty good against USC a couple games ago. Against USC, Petrino called a lot more rollouts and had the pocket move for Wilson more. I think USC only got one sack.

Also - hog fans, I know your DEs have been injured but what is up with the run defense? I remember you bragging on the size of your interior d line and Franklin and Nelson were studs last year.

Injuries had something to do with that, and also I think Petrino's defenses get better as the year progresses each year. That's how it was in '09 and in '10. I just don't think we have the depth to get our defense prepared for what they have to face in SEC physical running teams, but by the end they are usually tackling and playing much better, as is the case this year.

Also, we have played some great running backs this year and they should be given their due (Gray and Michael from A&M, Richardson and Lacy from Bama, Scott and Bolden from Ole Miss, Stacey from Vandy, Ballard and Perkins from MSU, Dyer and McCalebb from AU).
