get very far behind early.


You won't have to worry about that. SC hasn't scored 1st in its last 11 games.

psh our secondary is better than theirs, now DL on the other hand


Stats say otherwise. USC is ranked 3rd in pass defense; Arkansas is 45th. As to the secondary specifically, USC has 16 interceptions to Arky's 8. Opponent's completion percentage is 50.4% for USC and 58.0% for Arkansas.

Same with rush defense. Neither team looks that great with USC ranked 41st, but Arky is near the bottom at 89th. Interesting stat: opponent's average gain per rush -- USC 3.59 yards; Arky 4.82.

I seriously think that Arkansas and South Carolina are the two most overrated teams in the top 25. Arkansas struggled big time against ole miss and should have lost to vandy


This is so true about Arkansas no doubt, Vandy GAVE Arkansas that game on a platter. Only due to the lose of Lattimore and Garcia's substandard play and eventual dismissal do I agree with you on SC. Feel for them. I just wish somebody would play a complete 4 quarters again the Hogs.

Dunno what to make of this game. I have Arky winning a close game, but Spurrier might have something planned. Against Tennessee, he went smash-mouth football. I think he will let Shaw pass a lot more than last week.

Honestly, a Gamecocks win wouldn't surprise me at all.

USCe's defense is legit. Second best secondary we have playeda against. They deserve to be there. Arky? No way. I honestly lost all fear of playing them in Arky this year. I know the record shows them owning us, but they are very beatable.


I have no comment for anyone from MooSt

Arkansas has had three slow starts in its last four games(wouldn't count Auburn, never down by more than 7), which all came in games that shared two common factors:

1) 11 AM, 11:21AM, and 11:21AM
2) Dallas, Oxford, and Nashville

Arkansas has scored at least 38 points in each home game this season, and I think the trend continues. SC will need more than 12 or 14 points to win. If they bring a lot of pressure on Wilson, expect Johnson or Adams to make some big plays on the screen pass.

Also, does think that Petrino has had SC's number since Lorenzo Ward (and even Ellis Johnson, to a much lesser extent) used to work for him?
