Arkansas is ranked #86 in pass offense right now. That's bottom third in the country and bottom four in the conference.


This isn't really reflective of anything other than the success we have had running the ball. As Pittman said after the Texas game "If we are getting 7 yards a carry I would be a fool to do anything else". Not saying we are a high octane offense that will sling it all over the field but to act like we can't be effective in the passing game is foolish.

Not to mention our elite receiver has been banged up so far this year.

Your QB is a dual threat QB which historically has always given A&M fits.
I’m concerned with our interior DL right now as it stands, way too many runs up our gut for good yardage. Not sure if everybody will be back for this game or not?!

Our OL has been pretty bad creating lanes for our talented RB’s to run thru. We are playing a talented but unknown QB back up against an Arkansas team that is playing well but MOST importantly….. IS HUNGRY AS frick!!

THAT doesn’t make me feel too good. I’m not sure we can win this game IF Arkansas gets momentum……that will be the key for A&M!!

If A&M can make it a “boring” defensive game, we win….otherwise it doesn’t look good in my humble opinion!

A&M giving up 4.2 yards a carry. Arkansas getting 6.1 a carry. I wouldn't put the ball in the air until you show you can stop the run. And I don't think you can. I hope we run it down your throats all day.

Rest assured, Vegas thinks that A&M is 6 points better than Arkansas on a neutral field.



They also thought Texas was 6.5 points better in Fayetteville

We are run heavy and they have a good defense. They could stack the box and it’s unproven if we can win a game through the air.

Should be a good game.

Arkansas has one of the worst pass offenses
This is only the perception because with our rush offense we haven't really needed to pass. Pittman said after Texas he wasn't passing if he didn't have to. We have a lot of weapons in the pass game that hasn't been shown yet. Most of the second half in the Georgia southern game we were running the clock out so no need to throw it everywhere. I'm not saying we will throw it all over your team but I would caution you taking that thought process into our game.

The answer is simple.

It feels like a misprint because too many here have overvalued the win against t.u. and dismissed everything else.

This is the same for both of us, this will determine who wins, who can prove they have a legit passing game.

And has started 1 (one) game vs your guy's 3. And take away the stats from the Georgia Southern game, and..

There may be gaps in talent/experience, but QB ain't one of them. Your QB blows.

Its no secret, this is essentially the same defense we had last year. Why don't you take 5 mins to Google where the Aggie defense finished last season.
