re: Why Arkansas will beat Texas A&M

Watch this highlight clip from 2012

And let the following realization sink in: Manziel is clearly better than last year. The running game is better than last year. The entire offense is much, much better than last year.

...and most of the plays you see on defense -- #45, #7, #4, #1, #35 -- are returning lettermen.

Maybe you'll keep it within 48 points this year -- but maybe you won't.

Arky should just ready itself for a loss and a 5th place finish in the west which is where they're gonna be for years to come

"The Box" is a 5 yard deep area on the defensive side of the ball directly opposite the OL. Theoretically if every defensive player is directly opposite the OL and within 5 yards of the LOS, you have 11 in the box.

I know what the box is. And if you think that we are honestly going to stack the box against aTm, I hope the coaches think the same way you do. aTm doesn't have enough of a ground game to warrant anything other than a QB spy. Our #1 rated SEC Defensive Line will be plenty enough pressure on Johnny Scramble.

I'm not gonna make a prediction, but I do find it interesting how it's no big deal when Arkansas beats A&M, but we never hear the end of an A&M victory.

I love all the confidence of these Aggy posters. They should be confident they have JFF and Evans the beast wide receiver. After that it's a what the heck . That being said I would be more afraid if we was playing SMU, traditionally they give us a much tougher game. I mean look at the all time record we only hold a 6 game lead (37-31). Aggies are like a desert illusion , you see all the palm trees and beautiful water, a&m offense , then when you get close it's nothing but sand, A&m defense and special teams, that's why I expect us to win how heck we usually do.

Defense will improve this week

We will run the ball more this week I think. Certainly have good backs. Our offense is unstoppable. I for one think the defense will improve a bit this week, but even if they do a below average job, we will outscore Arkansas!

You see, if I'm Summlin, this is what I do. I'd run the score in the first half, and depending on how the D holds (and how close it is), work on the running game in the second half. You guys are going to have to eventually have a running game - period. JFF isn't going to be around forever, and unless Summlin is planning moving to the NFL, he's going to want to develop the team for the long term.

Now, if Summlin has plans on moving up to the NFL - I run the score as high as possible and don't look back. With our secondary, you guys can easily get in the 60s.

I'm just a stupid cousin fricker, but that's how I see it
