Outside of maybe Hogville, nobody is hyping Arkansas up


Most of the media and analysts are. The line has also shifted toward Arkansas since opening with LSU still being the favorite. It’s a toss up game when looking at stats and performance so far but that doesn’t mean either team can’t run away with it or Arkansas will beat another top 10 team.

Arkansas has fewer weaknesses than LSU and is at home. They probably win.

I mean, Arkansas has the 4th best rushing offense in the conference. I would not say that says the OL sucks.


That OL is ranked like 104th in pressure rate while LSU is ranked 4th in pressures. So yea that OL sucks at pass pro.

Our qb is a dual threat which is why that pressure rate doesn’t matter, just like LSU can’t run the ball with a “good OL” but if Nuss has extended time, he’s very good at passing.

You can think it doesn't matter but I would be very surprised if your dual threat QB is 100% to run around. LSU is elite at pressuring the QB. Even if Green is 85% he's in trouble behind that OL. Arky certainly has advantages in the game but it isn't in keeping Green clean.

The entire key to the game for Arky is redzone defense. LSU is going to move the ball. If they can hold LSU to FGs they have a chance. Arky is currently ranked 89th in that category so they need to play better than they have in that area to have a chance.

Idk if we will win but if you lose you’ll be heartbroken. You literally believe your team and nuss are the best ever and Arkansas has no chance in a toss up game.

I suspect we will be forced to read this garbage again Sunday morning.

Bookmarked.

LSU is averaging 4.9 YPC vs Division I teams while Arkansas is averaging 4.3

I've never said that one time. I've stated several times that LSU has flaws and Arky can certainly win. I actually laid out in my last post that if Arky can hold LSU to FGs they can win the game. LSU is the better team and I think you know this. Ole Miss is a better team than LSU but we held them to FGs. Hung around and got the upset.

Gotta throw in the generic cop out just in case you lose. A rant tradition.

Lets normalize predictions with no caveats. Put your balls on the table or keep them in your pants.

I didn't see Ole Miss as the better team.

I tried explaining to them that their week 1 game had their averages and metrics all outta wack but they just couldn't see it. How could a 70-0 game where you gain 650 yards and your opponet gains 150 skew the stats!!!!!

If you look at just Division I, Arkansas trails LSU in just about every statistical category other than rushing attempts/yardage (LSU is ahead per attempt) and defensive total yardage and defensive pass yardage.

Each of the last four games were decided by 3 points. Last year, LSU was at home, had the Heisman winner and six total NFL draftees, and beat a 4-8 Arkansas team 34-31.

We also had the worst defense in school history. Without the 2nd best offense in school history we go 5-7.

So the second best offense in school history could only score 34 against a 4-8 team that gave up 48 to both AU and Mizzou?

This year pretending like the other team is better and will win for a hopeful jinx is all the fashion.

I predicted LSU to win this game by 2 TDs. Nothing but downvotes and upset LSU fans.
