ChesireHog, Don't know what your background is but I have seen some of your other posts and it is quite obvious you know a hell of a lot about football.

I actually haven't seen the Hogs play. Was driving last Saturday and listened to the game on Sirius radio and it was a Rutgers broadast. Kind of hard to tell how effective the passing game was since I couldn't see what was actually going on.

The trouble for Arkansas is that Baggs isn't lining up to play linebacker and Clay Honeycutt isn't lining up to play safety. Those guys are an absolute waste of space. If you see a small white guy in at Safety for the aggies, rest easy because a TD is coming soon.

Rutgers was selling out to stop the run, they also have a very fast defense, and to top it off when we actually had chances to make them pay for the aggressiveness on D through the air, Derby either missed the target or the receivers drop the ball.

Rutgers was begging for a big play to be dropped on them during the game, but it never happened.

Like Dale said, Rutgers was living and dying by trying to stop our run game. I imagine A&M will do the same. May as well sell out until he beats you once or twice. I know that's what I would do if it was me scheming against us.

Derby just doesn't have the arm strength or the accuracy to be a legitimate threat past 10 yards and even that is probably a stretch. I'm sure part of it was nerves during last weeks game as he was sailing ball after ball but a lot of it comes down to talent. He almost got Keon Hatcher killed on a little 5 yard out route by throwing high. You can see on even his dump passes that he just does not have the physical tools to be successful at this level.

I don't think I've ever cringed so much on a 5 yard pass to the flats as I have on one pass he tossed to our FB Kiero Small against Samford. It just awkwardly floated in the air to Kiero. You just knew some SEC DE or LB would snatch that out of the air and take it to the house if he tried it going forward.
