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.
