Good post OP.

It's an interesting matchup. One one side, Arkansas has easily been the better team through three weeks, but I think most Hog fans will admit they have their concerns. On the A&M side, we've looked pretty bad, but have the talent to turn things around. Especially after getting some needed continuity on the OL and guys returning from injuries and suspensions.

I worry about the Hogs ability to take advantage of our Mike LB position which is being played by a backup right now who looked pretty poor against Miami. We also need to develop a pass rush. As talented as these DL are, it takes time to learn more than just one pass rush move.

If A&M can continue to progress on offense and manage to get the ball in space to guys like Achane, Stewart and Smith, they can easily take advantage of a poor tackling secondary. I think our defense is talented enough to limit their offense enough to give us a shot to win, but we have to start executing on offense.

So now Jimbo rejecting the LSU job to stay at A&M is evidence that the LSU job is better than the A&M job

It’s hard to watch, honestly. However, it’s to be expected from an SEC bottom feeder.

I like him as a coach, but the recruiting would be a serious concern for me as an Auburn fan.

It’s November 4th. What are you talking about? You think we’re announcing a new HC while the best options are in the middle of their seasons?

As I said, its clear Jimbo has already told Woodward no and that he was the #1 choice. Think about the timing of our raise to Jimbo this year. Woodward was pursuing Jimbo before the season even started just like he did when he was at FSU.

At what point will you realize that LSU is a better job even it has 6 straight losing seasons. Our last three coaches won NCs. Two of them were borderline idiots. Two never coordinated an offense or defense, let alone call a game. They still won NCs. Better look at the per capita data on NFL players home states. We have no in state competition. This is why Saban took the job despite LSU having 8 losing seasons in 11 years. This is why he won the SEC in year 2 and the NC in year 4. LSU will get who ever it wants.

You just hired and fired Orgeron, a guy no one wanted as a HC, and have been obviously turned down by one if not multiple candidates this time around. Woodward will likely make a solid hire, but you aren't getting you're #1 or possibly #2 choices.

Focus on your own loser coach and program, sir.

This is correct.

Of all the tough, gut wrenching, heart breaking ways Arkansas has managed to lose games in this series over the past decade, tomorrow's loss for them will be the hardest.

They actually believe in themselves because they beat three cellar dwellers.

1. Arkansas outrushed us last year, didn't matter. You won't be able to consistently sustain drives against this defense.

2. We've definitely had some issues with runs up the middle, but we've also had new faces at LB and two DL starters out for various amounts of time due to suspension. Both starters are back including our best DT. Elko has notoriously been great against the run as a DC.

It could certainly be an issue on Saturday, but I don't think it will matter much as you won't get much through the air and that will make your offense predictable as the game wears on.

This is not very welcoming Tom for our new conference mates. They've assured us they will most certainly be back by the time they join the league.
