re: The great rant myth: Arkansas is a good power run team

He won't be passing when he's laying on the ground

Eh, our QB doesn't really celebrate that much after TDs

LSU posters... they got in here and fricked up all this shite talking.

Why are they in this thread anyway?? They got tons of stuff to worry about besides 2 teams that are going to beat their arse later this year.

I teal hunted with a guy from LSU this morning out near East Bernard, TX.

Headed to el campo in the morning. Heard the south zone is slow right now

I said basing an opinion using team stat rankings from a 3 game sample size is ignorant. As an A&M fan, you should know better than to jump to conclusions after a few games. But I guess y'all do every single year. At least y'all are consistent

I completely agree with the this. However this is an anonymous Internet forum. I'm not going to wait for all the facts to start talking smack.

If Arky is a "passing team" then they are in deep shite. Averaging 218 yards a game and 8 yards an attempt against 3 bad defenses is not a great start to the season. Last year you averaged almost 270 a game and 9.2 yards per attempt.

Rushing wise you are averaging a full yard per carry less, 4.0 vs 5.0. In 2014 it was 5.1 YPC. There just aren't many big runs, I'm only finding one run over 20 yards so far this year.

Arky is clearly missing Collins badly. Williams is actually doing a little better than last year but he isn't in the same class as his predecessor. Allen is doing fine but he's mainly making short and safe passes, he hasn't shown much gamebreaking ability.

I just don't see how Arky didn't take a step backward on O this year. Still a solid team but just not as strong as last year. The defense is marginally better statistically but how much of that is lack of competition? The Special Teams have been horrible.

Part of the ypc problem is Kody Walker is getting more carries, he literally is good for 2 yards. Devwah Whaley got more carries last week and looked electric in small samples. I suspect you'll see him more tomorrow.

You're not hearing us gloat about our OL.

It's just the reputation Bert brought with him from Wisky. Pittman barely recruited after the first season.

now you're just throwing shite at the wall hoping it'll stick.


eta: what I've said is if we cut out the NFL zone protection schemes and go to a more simplistic bullyish and aggressive approach we'll push the DE's off the play and get north/south yardage when we want. Our G/C/G are pretty tough in run blocking. The new guys get their arse handed to them in pass pro because they're confused on who to pick up and let guys run by them. The frosh. FB misses blitzes b/c he's super aggressive to go chip a DE.

Delayed blitzes have been an issue for the Arkansas OL for about 7 years. It's was worse in the Petrino years however.

Yeah if we play a more simpler style and put hats on hats we'll have an advantage and likely win the trench battle.
