is Stromberg one of the best centers in the country vs a FR NT for Bama. if arkansas can run the ball it will be this match up that allows it.
Our starting front rotates 6 guys and 5 of them are juniors or seniors who have all played tons of snaps for 3+ years. The only non upperclassman is Oatis, who I assume you are referring to.
Oatis, Young, Dale and Eboigbe are all in the Top 15 in rush defense grades for DL in the SEC this year (out of 51). For the first time in about 5 years we have a brick wall up front again.

Hoping Byron and Jordan will be able to play tomorrow.

I could be way off but based on the way he was moving around after the game I imagine Battle is fine. Young definitely seems to be wait and see, which sucks because he has been a monster this year.
Main path for successful offense for Arkansas (and most teams) is to tighten up formations, get one on ones outside and throw deep jump balls and force us to defend them them without getting PI or giving up a catch. Sprinkle in some QB runs or read options and quick passes, but the main thing is going downfield in one on one situations (like Sark manipulated a lot). You just aren't going to effectively move the ball against us running the ball and throwing intermediate/short routes. We don't bust against that stuff and eventually you are going to get in a 3rd and 9 and we are going to blow you up. You have to get chunks.

It will very hard for the Arkansas offensive line to have any push against that defensive line. Now if Arkansas had more depth at the twos and threes then I can see them in continuous rotation. That would wear them down and begin getting more rushing yards. But I can see Bama wearing down an offensive line that plays a lot of snaps and rarely gets off the field. At this point Jefferson will get sacked quite often.

You’re one sandbagging SOB.

Sorry but I don't live close to the Mississippi River and the sandbags wouldn't do much good here.
