yes they suck, and we should beat both their *** and Ole Miss' ***. But I am afraid this game and this lost have deflated us. I do not see how we get up for Arkansas after such a huge letdown.
Who else expects a letdown next week at Arkansas?
- Thread starter Fighting Irish.sixpack
- Start date
I'm sure we will have a slight hangover. However they are about done as a team and the fans checked out weeks ago.
Duck season opener. 11am kickoff. They may have 20,000 there. Seriously.

I predict we beat the breaks off Ark and ole miss.
We know we should have beat Bama, sure as hell won't lose another we should win.

Won't be just a mental thing. We are going to have a lot of guys hurt or hurting this week. Should still win but I expect next week will look a lot like UMass
Not so fast. I think OM has a pretty good guy running their offense now with Ta’amu. Just can’t let him become Hurts or allow AJ Brown to turn into Calvin Ridley come Thanksgiving.
That may be a closer game than we’re prepared for it to be.

Robbie Faulk tweeted this nonsense last night and I had to correct him.
In 2014, we were up 37-0 at halftime on Vandy after the devastating Bama loss. No hangover.
In 2015, we won the 100 Point, blocked FG shootout game at Arkansas after the Bama loss. No hangover.
We will be fine against an overmatched Arkansas Team. We will grind them in the running game just like everyone else has.

Mullen will have them ready. The fact we are now beating or playing tight games with Ark when we play them almost every year after Bama shows that Mullen keeps this team on a pretty even keel. It may look like UMass, but if we get ahead early its my opinion it will more likely look more like the game against Aggie.
Who has Taamu faced though defensively? I fully expect Grantham to throw some pretty wild curveballs at him.
I expect to beat the dogshat out of them. Why would we let down? We should be pissed? What are all these injuries I'm hearing? Yeah, Brandon Bryant is probably out. Dez Harris and Errol Thompson came back in and played. Who else got injured? I saw none. Gray might be back and Mixon should be much more healed. All this Ta'amu talk is crap. Bastard hasn't faced an average D much less a good one. They might score 38 on us, but I'll promise if they do we'll score 60 on them. 9-3 and Citrus Bowl with about a # 14 ranking going into it. I'll take it.
I was at the LSU/Arkansas game yesterday. Their D played well in the first half and fell apart vs the run. Etling even ran on them. I think we can beat them solidly.

Ta'amu better be great because he's only going to have the ball for about 12 minutes.
I talked to some of the players after the game. There is no question, they are heartbroken; absolutely devastated.
Incidentally, I love that response. Their expectations are not like us longtime fans. They are here to win, and they expect to do so.
Consequently, I expect a letdown against Arkansas. We are emotionally spent. We have some injuries. It’s an 11am kickoff. The stadium will be half empty. Whatever crowd is there is going to be dead. It’s a recipe for a letdown game.
So, we’ll beat them by 3 touchdowns instead of 5.

I'm afraid of this. We'll be able to have the long grinding drives against them like we did Bama. But all the have to do is hit on a few big pass plays and they stay in the game. Like the 1st half of the game yesterday.
True, but they don’t have anywhere near Alabama’s D. Those 2nd and 10/2nd and 9 vs Bama will be 2nd and 5/2nd and 3 vs the Landsharks. Massive difference.
Sure they’ll score. They’ll gash us for some big plays. They’re receivers are great. But that isn’t sustainable when we chew up 6 and 7 minutes on drives. We’ll be favored by 18.
ULL gave up more points to Southeast Louisiana, Tulsa, and ULM than it did to Ole Miss.
Thing is, Arkansas doesn't have a QB. Austin Allen hasn't recovered from his shoulder injury and Cole Kelly was arrested on DWI charges this morning
I'd be worried, but Arkansas is really, really bad. The game won't be close. I'm more concerned about the Egg Bowl. Ole Miss isn't very good either, but they have some talent and some motivation. After all, they could be 6-6 in bowl games this year.
I expect them to come here today and read the trash posted about merlinz and the in-game thread rants blasting players and have them all quit.
Lot of difference in a fan (you) being deflated and the team being deflated.....why do folks always try to project onto others the emotions that they feel....two totally different persons/personalities....
Exactly. We can deliver the same effort we played with against UMass and still win by 3 TD’s. No excuses next Saturday or on Thanksgiving. We should be good.
Me too. Worse loss I can remember. Arkansas was injured and playing with a 3rd string QB.
Ta’amu has looked great against some really bad defenses, but people forget that he and their offense were garbage in the second half of the Arkansas game. Arkansas was able to make adjustments and get pressure, and Ta’amu made lots of mistakes. Our defense isn’t perfect and is susceptible to the big play, but if nothing else they put pressure on the QB. Don’t forget that our offense gets the ball too, and we are a turrible matchup for UM. They may make plays and score some points but it shouldn’t be enough.
Emotional letdown aside, we should handle Arkansas fine and beat UM by at least 10-14 points at home.
