Georgia is a bad matchup for the way Arkansas tries to play. They are built like Alabama early Saban, big at the LOS and all power football. Run and stop the run. Arkansas can't throw it well enough to back them off and that defense they play was just asking for what they got.

To play with them, you're going to have to put enough people at the LOS to force them to throw. They can be stopped, Clemson did it. Not everyone has their personnel up front but you have to commit to stop that run and take your chances.

When you have the ball,make the big boys run. Get the ball out on the perimeter make them pursue, establish the pass make them rush the passer and when they blitz make it hurt. Their big boys can run yes but big boys get tired running again and again. THEN you can run it.

Actually no. We have been pass happy to the detriment of the run game this year....with the on exception being Arkansas. With Daniels hurt and Bennet playing loose with the football I think Kirby wanted to run the ball early. When we had a ton of success they stayed with it and wanted to see if Arkansas could stop the run game.

But if you check our other games this past year, I think you will find we passed a ton.

I hate to break it to you but Clemson played to take away the pass (much like Arkansas).

If you want to make Georgia score as little as possible... drop 7 and 8. Force us to run. With our defense, that is the best way to keep the score close (clemson knew this).

Attacking the perimeter is the dumbest thing you can do. We are the fastest team in football.
You can attack vertical. You can make our linebackers run. But dont make it a race to the sideline. You will not gain any yardage and lose the race.
