Defense is better than the past few years. However, the offense is such a shite show the defense will be gassed by the 3rd quarter so fear not brotha.

Ark defense better then in past. But as long as Jefferson is there you will never win crap. All you hear is how big he is. Overrated big time. Big arm no touch. No brains.

Compared to the offense, they’re phenomenal. I would give them maybe a B or B- and the minus when they’re exhausted from trying to carry the whole team. Iow, the least of our bitching worries at the moment.

Don’t be nervous even if it’s close thru 3 qtrs (which I’m sure it won’t be but just in case) because we will somehow shite the bed offensively at the end.

Their defense isn’t bad. Their secondary leaves much to be desired but their defensive line was getting good penetration against us almost all game last night

Arkansas defense just held Ole Miss to like 350 yards after they just put up 700 against LSU. So, there’s that.

Our defense is the only good unit on the team, and I hope we consider our current DC's as the next head coach.

The offense is so god awful though it eradicates any hope we have of beating competent teams.

I feel like the Bama defense should feast. Pete Golding’s defense was able to get a lot of pressure on Jefferson, so I think Bama’s should, too.

Our offense won't score more than one TD against Bama's D. It's possible that they don't score a single TD all game. We have no O-line and no running game. I suspect KJ will be sacked about nine times. It'll be ugly AF (for us).

They did 10x better than LSU vs Ole Miss. Held OM to 350 total yds, Dart - 150 yds passing, 4-14 3rd down conv.

Offense is there weakness right now.

They've got a stout defense. Freaking hate that McGlothern went to Arky, but he's doing a hell of a job. Picked Daniels off when we played.

Like many have said. Our D would be good enough to win us games if our offense, and specifically OLine didn’t suck so bad. Your DLine will live in our backfield all night. Might be close through 3rd, but D will get tired. Could be closer score than most years.

I want to fire everyone except the DC and make him interim HC.

So there you go.

Their defense resembles a Big 12 abomination from the 2010's. Nobody pursues to the ball and they flail around with alligator arms trying to arm tackle. I feel bad for their fans, nobody should be subjected to that candy arse bullshite

They are light years ahead of Miss State’s Defense.

With injuries and losses mounting I figure the defense will get worn down, but they've been salty up to this point.

An atrocious O-line and very little speed in the skill positions will be raw meat for Bama's defense.
