Win and we are in the catbird seat for the East, lose and every game is a must win. Arkansas can break a 9 game losing streak (which they are sick of hearing about) and finish the regular season 8-4 or 9-3 which would be an improvement for them from last year. We can have an outside chance at another 10 win regular season if we can win, and a loss could spin us into a 7-4 or even a 6-5 season.

Must win game for sure.

It is such a huge game for Bert, I can't see them go down without pulling out every trick in the book.

He has the three biggest back to back to back (USC) then FSU.

Georgia first was huge, now Arkansas, then LSU and finally FSU. That's a hell of a way to finish up the season.

This game is huge and if we win then the next one is huge. After that I feel like we just need to win one of the final 2 against FSU and LSU to stay in the playoff hunt. i can't wait for this game Saturday . A lose could turn out bad because then we are playing to win the east and may need to win the next 2 games to win the east.

I doubt we see very much of him, quite frankly. I think the're going to have a lot of jet sweeps and power running football.

Which I am completely okay with. Arkansas and South Carolina have problems stopping the run.

Allen will test the secondary. Arkansas plays great one week and is trash the next. Mac is going back to the RB by committee so maybe we can wear them down. Add in 2 LDR YDs and my guess:

LDR 16-27 243 2/1
Scarlett 15 88 1 TD
Perine 13 75 1 TD 1 18 yds
Thompson 8 44 yards.

Callaway 5 88 1 td
Cleveland 3 39 1 td
Lewis 4 40
Goolsby 2 23
Powell 2 35
Perine 1 18

Eddy 2/2 4/4

UF wins 34-10.

I love UF but there is no way we are blowing this Ark team out especially with them having a bye week and getting embarrassed the week before. I think we pull out the win but it will be closer like 23-17.

I'm not saying no way, you don't just come back from a blowout like that and Allen is going to be rusty coming back. The speed of the UF defense is pretty horrifying, and he's going to have to adjust. He'll have an interception or three for sure.

That being said, if we can sustain 5 or 6 minute drives like we did against Georgia, we win this one easy.

UF matches up very well with AR.

AR offensive strength is passing, not running. Very odd being a Bielema team. Their QB is tough and can make all the throws, but UF will get consistent pressure and the secondary will pick AA at least 1 time.

On defense, AR cannot stop the run. UFs strength is running the ball. I think that trend continues on Saturday.

UF 34
AR 20

The reason some people think that we will win big is because Arkansas seems to really struggle against teams with good DLs . If our defense plays the way it normally does then we will win . I think the matchup is good too. We did a decent job of running the ball against UGA and Arkansas seems to struggle to stop the run. I think either team could win by as much as 14 .

I like UF by 7-10.

This game is big for the direction of our program. Winning a game like this on the road makes a statement about where we are as a program.

UF is actually healthy for this time of year, which is odd.
