re: Arkansas is much better than their record

I didn't say beat Arky.

Bama's the better team by far. They can simply not commit 5 turnovers and probably still win the game by a couple of TDs.

I said come out prepared and dominate as they did against UGA. If they do that, they'll have demonstrated that they've got the mental side to go with the physical ability and THAT will be what makes me confident in the rest of the schedule.

Although there are still similarities to last year's game, there are a ton of differences. Last year, Arky was able to stifle our offense by bracketing Cooper. Being that no other receiver wanted to step up, we couldn't get a passing game going. This year Mullaney and Ridley will make the defense choose its poison, hell even Stewart may catch a few if he's wide open. Lane can keep the defense honest with the bootleg as well now, so no crashing and selling out to stop the run because Coker can make you pay. I think we should just come out with the same game plan as last week. Load that box, blitz Fitz, stunt him in coverage, throw multiple fronts in passing situations to confuse Allen. We can't let them get in a groove.
