1st Half:

Bama - 19 rushes for 80 yards = 4.2 yards per carry

Arkansas - 14 rushes for 44 yards = 3.1 yards per carry

What this shows is that Bama didn't come in and blow us off the ball and dominate both lines of scrimmages from the get go. With a redshirt freshman at QB coming off a 6 for 20 game against ULM, Bama knew they just needed to shut our run game down to win the game. Even with that knowledge and their superiority on both lines of scrimmage, they didn't dominate the line of scrimmage in the first half.

If we had Wilson in the game, Bama's D would have had to respect our passing game more and our running game would have benefited from that and probably rushed as well as Bama did in the first half. With Wilson in the game, our O stays on the field longer, probably scores a couple times, and gives our D a fighting chance. Add in the fact we lost our two top FB's last week to injury, and our running game should have been even better.

Without a dumbass at head coach, we have our best snapper in the game and Bama's second possession (their first possession was a 3 and out) doesn't start at Arkansas' 6 yard line due to a shitty punt snap. Two other of Bama's scoring drives started within Arkansas' 30 yard line. If we had a competent head coach, Knile Davis would have been ready to go at the start of the season and not been so fumble prone which set Bama up inside our 30 yard line and led to a Bama TD.

Basically, if we had a competent head coach and not so unlucky in regards to injuries, the Bama game would have been a much closer contest and all of the momentum wouldn't have been thrown in Bama's lap from the start; the final score would have been closer to something like Bama winning 30-17 and Arkansas would be 2-1 and still a top 10 team or close to it.

But we don't have a competent coach, we got unlucky with injuries, and all of a sudden this team with top 10 talent is now is a downward spiral searching for answers. Damn you Jessica Dorrell and Bobby Petrino. That's all I got to say.

Bama was certainly not as impressive as I was expecting on the lines.

Did they even get a sack? I stopped watching, but their D Line was getting little to no penetration vs our shitbag OL. Allen had time in the pocket every time I was watching.

Our DL was solid, and were supposed to be solid this year. They did very well vs that OL.




Oh well.

You don't have top 10 talent. No where close. You have a top flight QB, a once elite RB, and a solid system that was ran by a guy who's long. In short, you have nothing outside of Wilson. Eat shite.

I saw one that was caused to BA holding the ball for 10 seconds. Didn't see much other than that but i turned it off at halftime.

We had about 17 returning starters from a top 5 season + SEC's 2010 leading rusher returning. Just about everyone in America, the majority of all the poll voters, believed we had top 10 talent coming into this season.

It's debatable but it's your and NIH's opinion that is in the minority, not mine.

There is not one special player on either of your lines and your WRs look like shite. Do we really need to even dive into the defense? I didn't think so. In short, your beloved Bobby won with smoke and mirrors. He can develop the hell out of a quarterback and has a great systen but that's about all there is to it.

Petrino builds programs the wrong way. He builds without the big name kids which works when he can out strategize your opponents but his teams aren't deep, they build around having a few stars and then roll players.

In the minority of who? Arkansas fans? How many people rifht now who arent biased are agreeing with you that we have top10 talent but shitty coaching?

Hell some of you have convinved yourselves that bp would have beaten bama today with the same players.

We have shitty players and worse coaches. Fact
