Arkansas had a great QB this year, and a great QB

Decent D..good coaching

From LSU's stand point, we gifted you 2 TD's...seriously, that was ridiculous, and hasn't happened all year. 3 bombs in one game? Are you kidding me?

Not trying to sound cocky: that has happened to everyone we've played this year--it's just part of our offense. Petrino is a mastermind at finding mismatches and exploiting them. The 4th and 3 touchdown play was the culmination of a year of preparation after our game against you last year, according to what one of the coaches (I think it was McGee) said in the post-game press conference. They saw a tendency in the film after last year's game and started practicing the play in the spring and continued practicing it in the fall and throughout the season, planning to use it whenever the opportunity arose--against LSU or someone else. It just so happened that the opportunity surfaced against LSU.

My point in writing out that anecdote is that this is how Petrino operates... he believes in creating big plays. Some offenses operate on grinding out drives, but ours is a big play offense. There hasn't been a single team we've played this year that didn't give up at least a couple of these plays.
