I don't expect Arkansas to get beat or anything, but this may be more of a test than many are thinking. They are consistently one of the better teams in the MAC and might be the favorite to win it this year.
They have a great RB in Hunt and get back former Bama QB Ely who was playing well last year before shredding his knee against us. They also have a couple standouts on the DL that will get NFL looks . They had a strong run D last year and return virtually everyone. Also worth mentioning, Enos never beat them while HC at Central Michigan.
Now they do appear to have a weak pass defense so Allen may look like Johnny Unitas again this week, and an inexperienced OL that Arkansas should be able to exploit.
Might be more of an interesting matchup than people think.

Hunt was suspended the first two games of the season and their defense is pretty banged up. A healthy Toledo may keep it close till the middle of the 3rd but I don't see this team being a test this week.

Eh, I thought I had seen Hunt was going to be back for this week.
Yeah, that hurts them a ton of he's out. He's really good.

Yeah I remember seeing him quite a bit last year. I wish he was playing because I don't want to hear the damn excuses of why Toledo lost. And to go along with that their back up RB is questionable.

Do you really need validation for beating a MAC cupcake?

People said the same thing about 11-1 Northern Illinois last year.........you see how that turned out

The Rockets do have some shining moments like last year when they tore the Red Wolves a new orifice to the tune of 63 in the Godaddy...but stAte nailed them with 44 in the process. Dan Enos is familiar with them.
"Johnny Unitas"
BTW... regarding the game with stAte this week... ...Mizzou should win easily.
