Gumps, you do not have an edge at RB, not close @ TEs. Our DL is closer than you think. I believe the Bama OL is as good as I have seen @ Run Blocking. I also believe Arkansas has a big edge @ WR.
Our overall Kicking game punter and FG kicker are better. We are not counting on any Frosh. Phenoms, both of our guys are tested and proven.
See all you Gumps in Fayetteville. It will be a War.

Pretty much this
But I guess people don't realize DJ and Wingo are both top 5 active rushers in the SEC

I'm failing to see how having Cobi Hamilton is more valuable than alabama's plethora of 4 stars. By plethora I mean close to 10. Baffling. And the RB situation... Unreal how you think that you have the better RB core and Lacy is better than Davis in a lot of eyes. It goes both ways. Saying you have better backs than Alabama is basically saying the same about LSU.
Laugh my motherfricking arse off at your DL rivaling ours.

One good game and all of the sudden that's better than anything Hamilton has done in 3 years? You have NO ONE that has the pedigree of Hamilton. So basically, your "stars" in the WR corp are equal to our 2 junior guys, Herndon and Horton. They've seen playing time. They've made some plays. But they're sure as frick not close to being considered tops in the league.
So while you may have some depth, you don't have a system that takes advantage of that depth as much as Arkansas. I'll take 10 3 star guys who will actually have a chance to make multiple plays each game over 10 4 star guys who are glorified tight ends, with primary responsibility being to block.
But that's to assume that Arkansas doesn't have any 4 star guys. Which we do.
Knile Davis and Dennis Johnson, and you'll never convince me otherwise, are as deadly a 1-2 punch in college football as far as RBs go.
Bama's undeniably got a lot of talent at RB, but I'll take our guys. As I'm sure a lot of people would.
Why don't you just come out and say what you really want to say? "We're Bama and, therefore, we are better at you at every position."

Gumps, remember that I told you this: Arkansas will pressure Mc Carron in the pocket. He will throw mostly short passes to his RBs.

LOLWUT? You're trying to compare our one guy to your 10? Well, I sure hope you're ten have more catches this year than our one, otherwise I'm going to be upset about Wilson not spreading the ball around more.

Last I heard on the radio Knile Davis hadn't been cleared for contact for whatever reason. And your savior Cobi Hamilton had a solid season 34 catches for 542 yards and 4 TDs last year. Who are your other receivers? Does Hamilton play the slot?

QB - Ark
RB - Ark
WR - Ark
TE - Ark
OL - Bama
DL - Bama
LB - Bama
DB - Bama
While Ark has more talent at RB, Bama will control the line of scrimmage and win the game.

My savior? LOL
If you really believe that Bama's WR as a whole will have a more productive season than Arkansas' as a whole, well I'm going to have to go re vote in the least knowledgeable fan base thread.
I think yall beat us this year, but it won't be because your WR are better than ours.

You will notice I said nothing of Alabama's receivers Bell and Norwood have been in the system three years already, so i'm hoping that will equal some success. Arky with Gragg might have a slightly better receiving (in general) threat overall

Obviously, Arkansas didn't have any receivers in the program other than Childs, Wright, Adams, and Hamilton the last 4 years.

He's been cleared for contact. Both Knile AND the doctors have said he's 100%.
The coaches are holding him out as a precaution. He still gets hit in practice, just not tackled to the ground.

With that said who is to say that Bama's unproven receivers couldn't be just as good as Arky's unproven receivers?? Listen I think Arkansas has the better receivers.
And I will take Bama's runningbacks all day, every day.
