After watching the UT debacle

[Seinfeld]

how many of you are still confident that we’ll roll into Fayetteville and beat the hogs? Considering that it’s a road game which consistently brings out the absolute worst in us, is it even fair to call it a toss up at this point or a likely loss?

Only reason I bring it up is that whereas the UT loss was highly disappointing, a loss to Ark this year may be one of the final nails in Joe’s coffin

 

[jethreauxdawg]

We don’t have a chance there

maybe Shrader turns us around, but as of now, I don’t like our chances anywhere the rest of the way.

Arkansas' defense is horrendous. If we only score 10 he should be fired.

 

[The Situation]

They'll be fired up to play us, too. I don't like our chances with that, and Moorhead's abysmal road history.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

Do you think our line can block their d line ? If so we should win. I don't know what anyone else thinks about it but that's what it comes down to for me. Apparently if you listen to everybody here Joe scheme is so complex that even our linemen can't figure out who to try and block.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

Not that is matters, but is it in Fayettenam or Little Rock? Either way, you can always almost count on that game being 36, pouring down rain, and us laying a massive deuce on the field when we play at Arkansas.

 

[kired]

After the Auburn game, I assumed Tenn and Abilene Christian would be our only wins left on the schedule... apparently I was being overly optimistic.

I think you are giving him too much credit. The UT loss was the final nail. There is no coming back from it for me or for 99% of our fanbase.

That doesn’t mean he’s automatically fired, but losing to Arkansas isn’t changing anyone’s opinion to anything different from what it is now.

 

[MSUDC11]

We have three wins ever in the state of Arkansas. All three were by a TD or less, and two of those Hog teams we struggled to beat were horrendous. As much of a train wreck as Joe has been in away games, I don’t expect us to win that game.

 

[MedDawg]

I'm planning on driving up for the game. They play Auburn then Bama before us...

...and they've already lost 3 in a row, so I'm waiting to buy tickets hoping there will be even cheaper ones out there.

 

[wtw2400]

I still plan to go. Always love the Arkansas trip ecspecially in Fayetteville with the beautiful NWA scenery.

But I'm not confident in all about this game. Arkansas isn't on a different level from Tennessee at all. Morris will see the opportunity like Pruitt as a winnable game and capitalize big time.

While he has lost most of the fanbase. I will say we'll find a way to spin it if we upset ole miss and go 5-7....

Because as our guys in charge have proven, even if we're 13th in the SEC, as long as we're ahead of Ole Miss, they'll still trick themselves into saying we are good. While we are falling rapidly behind our competitors.

 

[bulldognation]

This is the correct take. We don't have a history of dominating Arkansas even when they're a bad team. Nothing I've seen this season makes me feel like we are capable of putting together a complete game, and we will need it in order to win on the road. Especially against an Arkansas team that will be viewing us as one of the teams they have a decent chance against. There's no reason to assume they won't be bringing their 'A' game. I had originally marked this as a win before the season started, but it's a toss up at best now and that's being generous towards Joe.

 

[CoastDawg18]

Not confident. We don’t win much in Arkansas when we have good teams. We can win for sure but it will take a significant step change in our performance, which I have no evidence to support happening.

 

[RiverCityDawg]

It should not be a toss up, but as of now it is absolutely a toss up. I don't see how anyone could say otherwise.

 

[TrapGame.sixpack]

It should not be a toss up, but as of now it is absolutely a toss up. I don't see how anyone could say otherwise.

We'll give both Morris and Pruitt much needed SEC wins. Three coaches in year two and we thought we had the better of the three.

 

[msudawg12]

The only game that i'm confident we will win is against abilene christian and i'm not confident its by 3 scores

Opportunity for error is razor thin if we want to keep the bowl streak alive. We're only favored in three more games:

UT had one of the worst Dlines in college football. All they did was double their sack total for the year and hold us to a season low in rushing. Don't underestimate how much of a steaming pile we laid last week. That UT team probably won't win another game this year and they pretty much dominated us at the LOS.
