We are arguably(sp) the best 2-2 team in the country.

OK, I'll pick'em. Ar 40+, Auburn 30 +.
I'll do us +10 on the Crown this week.

Are you as serious about this as you were about Arkansas beating Alabama? Albeit a close win, AU just won against what was the #8 defense in the nation. Granted, UT's offense (or lack thereof) kept the UT defense on the field most of the night, AU still beat them. You think Arkansas' defense is going to stop AU??

Did I say this?
I say that we were thrown in the fire right off the bat, playing GA and Bama in our second and third games. We got beat, sure, but we learned what our weak points were against some damn good teams.
If we would have played the same teams as Bama or Auburn to open our season, I feel like our record would reflect that. We played two of our toughest games right off the bat with a young team. We took our lumps , but I think we'll be better for it in the long run.
Before the game, yeah, I thought we would beat Bama. Before any game, I think we win. It doesn't matter what I think. That's why we play the games. Arkansas is good enough to beat any team on a given day. We are not consistent enough to do it every day right now.
Us and Auburn are on the way up. Bama and LSU are gonna have to scoot on back the next few years.

Wow.....and you fuckers call us delusional.

Don't bitch to an Alabama or Auburn fan about a young team. On the UA OL you have one sophomore and one redshirt freshman, three sophomore WR, a sophomore and true freshman taking most snaps at RB. On defense we have alot of JR and SR with what was a starting sophomore LB before injury, and another sophomore takes his place. Most of the second team on the defense is comprised of sophomore or true freshmen. And the scary thing? There isn't that huge of a dropoff between first and second team.

AU is playing more upperclassmen than AU, but you have guys like Onterrio McCaleb and Daren Bates who are making names for themselves as true freshmen, and then AU is very thin depth-wise. And they are putting up huge numbers on offense with Chris freaking Todd, AND winning games. I have no issues with what you said other than Arkansas can beat any team on any given day, and that they are in the same boat as Auburn. Arkansas is sitting right where they were sitting after week 5 last year......at 2-2. I can give you credit for losing to Alabama, but UGA? Really?

Arkansas is a few years out from anything. IF you guys are able to recruit some studs. I just really think Petrino is going to be the next Spurrier.

This game has scared teh hell out of me since August. Watching the defense make Crompton look like Peyton Manning in the second half hasn't changed my mind a bit. I just hope that Auburn can score enough to keep up with the hogs.

Note to Ted Roof: Playing a soft zone won't work this weekend.

You forgot to mention AJ Green is a far better WR than Julio Jones. Jones had only 2 catches against us, the worst secondary in the SEC (113th nationally), and one of those two catches had to come on a trick gimmick play. AJ Green was FAR harder to defend and is head and shoulders above Julio in talent.

Well yeah but Julio is a better fisherman.

Green probably is the better out of the two, but he is also used much differently than Julio is used in our offense this season compared to last season. JPW's problem was he wouldn't check down and would just dump it in the general area of Julio. Our other receivers couldn't really make themselves a threat last season, for whatever reason. Even then our coaches said we have to make teams pay for that. Also, I think there is some injury stuff going on with Julio right now as well. I think his ankle or knee is still nagging a little, but I have no real proof of that.

Now, this season, we have a QB that is able to make teams pay for cutting off Julio. I'm not trying to say that we are intentionally taking Julio out of the game plan, but then again, we haven't really seen the ball thrown his way much. Maybe he is losing some of his shine, or teams are covering him better. I do know that obviously our other receivers are able to make plays and get open, which is something we struggled with last year. We have more weapons this season. As for UGA? Green is all they got. They absolutely HAVE to throw the ball his way. If he doesn't touch the ball 7-9 times a game, they will probably lose. No running game. No QB. No receivers. Nothing. Only AJ Green.
