Arkansas Razorbacks (1-1)
Coach: Bert Bielema

Bye (0-2)
Coach: TBD

Current streak: Bye +5

Kickoff: Saturday, Sept. 16th at 1:13am

Location: Donald W. Reynolds Scaffolding

Vegas line: Bye -10

Keys to the game:

A tale of two QBs -
Bye's senior quarterback has an arm complete with a wrist and a hand, which has recently shown to be Arkansas' weakness over the last several decades. Will Paul Rhoads' defense step up to the challenge of shutting him down while outscoring their own offense for the win? Meanwhile on the other side of the field, Austin Allen leads all QBs with first and last names starting and ending with the same letter in YPG and his go-to receiver Some Guy leads the SEC in almost-catches for first downs. Will Bye's defense be able to keep all of his powerful weapon in check?

nO-line play - Bert Bielema is often touted for his big guys in the trenches, and this years' Razorback squad is no different than the last really big guys. They're really big and that's a big deal. Like, totally huge.

Kicking? Wait, is that part of the game now? - Arkansas' highly touted PK Cole Hedlund is 28 of 29 on the season while playing dynasty mode as Zac Hocker on EA sports Madden NFL for Xbox One, leading all digital NFL kickers. Arkansas fans have been left saying "Tejada who?" in amazement all season thus far. Bye coach TBD prides himself on his special teams play, but admits it'll be hard to get out of this game with more than 3 blocked FGs. "It'll be hard for us to block any more than that, I think" he stated at this week's press conference, "after all, they can only get in field goal range so many times and our guys will undoubtedly get tired from all of the attempted ankle tackles and holding."

Streak-schmeak - Bye has a 5-game win streak over Arkansas, dating back to it's first win over legendary Alabama? coach John L Smith. Bielema, however, believes this is the year they finally turn the corner. "This is by far the best group of wide receivers we've ever seen. And offensive linemen. And our backfield too. Cole Hedlund sucks and I'm tired of him though, so who knows."

Insane bold prediction: Arkansas could maybe score in the second half, while Bye won't break any opposing player's feet


Our prediction: Bye 48 - Arkansas 14

I'm certain the bye will hold us scoreless in the second half.
