Carter Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Big SEC West matchup here this weekend. Always tough to travel to Tuscaloosa and get a win, but I'm picking Arkansas to upset Bama in this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Alabama has been a double digit favorite all week, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroubleDawg Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Could be a good pick Carter.Bama has a trip to The Swamp looming next weekend so they could maybe not as focused as Arkansas.I think The Hogs will beat the spread but will stumble late like last yr. Hope Im wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
root down Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 to me Ark. Offense is just as effective as it was last year. Plus I feel better about our run game this year than I did last year. RB-Wingo has shown nice improvemnet each game and from last year /combined with Dennis Johnson who was beastly against Fla., Aub, Bama in 2009 and with the new looks of getting Joe adams the ball out of the backfield like fla did with Hayden.. I feel real good about our chances of scoring enough points to win.Our D has more experience, talent and depth across the board than last year. Definite improvement there.Bama's O is not as effective this year with the loss of McCElroy and Julio. Thats a fact. Run game will still be formitable, of course. Bama's D I see as just as good as last year, even with the loss of some starters.Return game Ark has an advantage with Joe adams who looks dialed in and super dangerous. also Dennis Johnson is a very good return man and Marquel Wade has emerged as another Joe Adams type explosive return man.Wow, I feel even better after putting it all down.....

Carter Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 Wow, I feel even better after putting it all down.....Yeah, I definitely think Arkansas can go in and get a hard fought win here. Not to sell Bama short or anything, they are a very good team, but I think they are overrated this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Ocean Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Bama's QB play is lackin, but since they're at home I'll give em the edge. Should be fairly low scoring considering Bama's D and lack of passing game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born Again Georgian Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think this year we finally beat'em. Our D has a lot more experience now, and I think Tyler Wilson will make fewer mistakes than Mallett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyDawg Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Gut tells me Bama will find a way to pull it out at home, but my mind is telling me Bama won't be able to stop that offense everytime and Arkansas's D will show up BIG late and it'll come down to the wire. 24-19 Hogs.

Carter Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Nevermind. The way Arkansas' o-line and Wilson are playing, they won't score again.Would still be a 3 point game if not for the ugly pick 6 and punt return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear for John Brantley's life.True, but Wilson isn't doing himself any favors. He's throwing some terrible balls out there... and he's not on the same page with his receivers at all.Still not impressed with Bama's offense.

Born Again Georgian Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Well that was embarrassing, I definitely overrated Wilson, and we definitely missed Davis and Bequette. Go ahead and throw Mallett on that list. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKat Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Great atmosphere for the game today. Crowd was into it an hour before kickoff until it was over. Defense with another solid game, especially with the loss of Mosley early in the game. Keep hearing every year how Petrino is going to out-scheme Saban but still waiting to see it happen. I expect the Florida game to be a much bigger challenge -- as good as LSU looks, I worry about the Florida game more given that they match up in talent and we are in their house. As for Arkansas, I think they will bounce back and have a fine season, but I think they are clearly the #3 team in the SEC West at this juncture. Wilson is a good quarterback but just did not have time to throw today after Alabama shut down the running game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and throw Mallett on that list. Sigh...Davis was a good back no doubt, but he would have had much tougher sledding behind this year's offensive line. And I think Mallett, given his limited mobility, would have struggled behind this line -- Wilson at least gave himself a chance on a few plays today by moving outside the pocket. He is a gritty quarterback, and I was really impressed by his toughness, particularly on the second touchdown throw when he hung in there.
