How do you think?!?! AU Vs. Ark

[mr_mann]

Myself being in Korea.. i'm never tooo up to date on the hogs program. I would like to know what you guys think about the Hogs big challenge against those bad@$$ tigers..

I'm going to predict a blowout.. :sad:

anyone else?

[AU Blaaaaaaaake]

Arkansas by 21!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gamecocks4Ever]

Arkansas by 21!!!!!!!!!!!

Um, I'm assuming that's a joke or either you're drunk. :rofl: :uglyhamme

[Chivas]

Halftime: Auburn 10 Arkansas 3
End Score: Auburn 38 Arkansas 10

Darn defense always seems to fall apart after the first half.

[mr_mann]

haha! you are a funny man AU Blaaaaaaaake... but cut down on the special brownies!

Chivas: That sounds about right. I would maybe even go ahead and say we actually score one touchdown in the first half and then we fall off from there.. but, our D will allow too many yards and our O wont convert the downs we need to get down the field :( its a shame..

[AJ2HOT4U]

this game will be almost nonexistent to college football nation with all these game like Georgia vs Tenn, LSU Florida, Red River shootout man o man what a weekend to think of it. Its a good story how mustain and company has pulled together after that Southern Cal Loss, but Auburn is just to complete of a football team. Plus Tubby's gambling habbits man o man

Aubie 21 arkansas 10

Muschamp's boys will do the job.

[timNem]

Should be a good game, arkansas will have two weeks to prepare

[Volnooga]

Au by 14 ....

[WDavE]

The really good news is that Auburn since they played thursday had several days off also.

Auburn will stack the line to stop the run. They will bring pressue on Mustain and will show him alot of different looks. Monk will be single covered by David Irons whenever they line up on the same side. On the other side Monk will see the safety also.

Auburn will come out trying to establish the run early and often. Not so much for scoring alot in the first half, but to do so in the last half of the game. This will also shorten the game which is something we need.

It is my biggest hope that Whilite will be back this week and will be able to go. He is the other starting CB and has a hamstring problem. His replacement is who USC picked on last thursday night. Cox is still a little banged up as is Kenny. Ark. will see alot of Lester who is our speedster. Our starting center is out and a soph will replace him. Bosley is a little bigger but has alot less experience then Cope. The good news to this is that our best two offensive linemen are the two guards on either side.

I look for it to be a close game until late in the third quarter. I look for us to win something like 24-14.

[razorhead]

Arkansas vs. Auburn is usually a close game. I feel better about this one after watching their game with USC. However, Arkansas misses 2 FG's and loses a nail biter. Final score 21-17.

[goallthewayua]

Well, to close to call. For this game I'll defer to Houston. I think he stated it best in his interview yesterday:

"We have to make so many more fewer mistakes"



I just don't understand why some of yal have a problem with him. GOSH.

[GAMECOCK_FAN]

My prediction....

Auburn 37
Arkansas 21

[zorak34]

Auburn 28
Arky 6

[gopig]

Halftime: Auburn 10 Arkansas 3
End Score: Auburn 38 Arkansas 10

I think I'll agree with your scores.

The D falls apart after the first half because they'll be on the field the entire first half.

[AUFootball24]

I never predict a win before a game, no matter how confident I am. As a baseball player I am VERY supersticious.

If we play like we did against SC, we will lose.
If we play like we SHOULD, we will win.

This game won't be a blowout, at least I don't think so. Borges will be saving most of his tricks for UF, unless we really need them.

[Neo]

I think Arkansas will keep this game respectable.

Auburn 21
Arkansas 13

[zorak34]

The offense isn't the one that played bad during the SC game we scored on 4 of 6 possessions. How is that bad. Controlled the ball for the entire 3rd quarter. The D however was lacking in its usual performance.

[autiger1126]

31-13 auburn

[AUFootball24]

I think Arkansas will keep this game respectable.

Auburn 21
Arkansas 13

My thoughts exactly.

I'm worried about Florida. I hope the team isn't. Looking forward to the next week is NEVER good.

[tecmsu06]

thats a good point AU...24... I'm not saying anything like Auburn will lose.. but Arkansas has no one to look ahead to, they have been focusing on Auburn for two weeks... they should be focused and ready to go.. McFadden is getting healthier and Mustain (should be) getting a little more confidence.. This Auburn team will be hungry and will throw a lot of different looks.. Our defense will miss tackles and become less physical during the second half.


I know... I hate to make these predictions.. but.

Auburn: 30
Arkansas: 17

[GamecockDieHard]

Gotta agree with zorak. Although trickeration was required, it worked and that counts too. The Defense was unimpressive, but then again Auburn was rushing 3 to keep Rice and company under control. That worked too. That won't happen against a solid running team like Arky. "Mickey F" will go wild if Auburn isn't careful.

This game isn't a gimme for Auburn but I think they will win.

[WarEagler]

Auburn 26

Arkansas 13

[Jay_Lupo]

I think the line is at 15.5 and I think that's fairly accurate, give or take 3-4 points in either direction.

I think the Tigers are a complete team and got a little bit of a wake-up call last week. They're at home and shouldn't overlook Arkansas considering their coach is an Arkansas native and friend of Nutt. Tubbs knows the Hogs will come to play, so I just can't see Auburn looking past us and that means a double-digit Auburn win I'm afraid.

I do think it will be close though, at least for a while. This game is usually pretty good.

I guess I'll say Auburn 31, Arkansas 20.

Good synopsis. I agree for the most part. It all depends on if we are going to use our secret weapons.

If we do, it could be closer than most think.

[DIXIE'S PRIDE]

Must preface this with: I hope the HOGS stomp a mud hole in AU and walk it dry...

Now that does mean I think it will happen, just felt real good sayin' it. Arkansas has to play on the Plains and that ain't good, neither is the fact that on paper AU looks like a more complete team, and they're not starting a frosh QB. The running backs are both playmakers, but if I had to pick I'd take Irons and the O-line of AU. Not if either team has a unveiled a superstar at wideout(toss up).

Defense, is where most SEC games are won and AU has the edge on the D-line for sure, and the linebacking corps are so different that they're hard to compare. Secondary might be the key and I tend to think that AU has the best player of the bunch in D. Irons and mostly the best unit and depth as well.

Only things left are kicking game and special teams (that account for 1 out of every 4 plays) and I know #50 beat BAMA but he didn't seem all that special. I gotta give this to AU too.

Forgot one...Coaching....ahhh!! Tuberville vs. Nutt no question about it Tuberville far out produced the Frank Jr. so gotta give that to AU as well.

For all intensive purposes it seems that AU should win this game, but I say the blind squirrel finds it's NUTT. 28-21 Arkansas

DAMMMMMNNNNN.... this boy is serious!

[AU Blaaaaaaaake]

Wilhite is back and at 100% according to Tommy's interview at AuburnTigers.

[DIXIE'S PRIDE]

Noah,

I prefaced that with honesty, not malice or intent to flame. My prediction is not an intent to rally the AU troops either although I'm sure it will. Thing is I believe in %'s and the %'s say AU is going to drop one that they shouldn't before long. Maybe not this weekend and if not I wouldn't be suprised, AU at home against a marginal opponent, but then again it's going to happen.

We dropped one we shouldn't have 6 games ago. Now IDK what 'percentages' you're going by, but since when do #'s show that the #2 team in the nation is expected to lose a game they are heavily favored in every 6th game?

You make it seem as if we haven't slipped up in a while, which isn't true.

This man speaks the truth!

I'm sure the Hogs will put up a good fight but we had our slip-up last week on D and got away with it. With Wilhite back and our D playing more aggressive I don't think we will have any problems for the rest of the year.

[Kylehunter85]

I think Auburn will pull the D back together this week, Auburn 28 Arkansas 10, A tight one in the first half, but the Ark defense will tire in the 2nd half which is where auburn will score 75% of their points

[TDArkansasOhmy]

Well, here goes. I gonna say what is on the minds of a lot of Razorback fans but after the USC blow out are afraid to. Nobody expects arkansas to come close to winning this ball game. Houston Nutt may preach and talk a good game about how they have a good chance to go into Auburn and steal one. But the truth is Nutt is counting this game as one of his losses this year along whith the USC (Southern Cal) and last game of the season LSU. The iffy game on the scorecard for him is Tennessee. He thinks that he can win that one.

My beef is, if all thinks this game is a loss and we have no chance, let Gus Malzahn (Offensive Cord.) go. Gus is a brillant young coach that seen some things in the South Carolina game that he can pick apart. Let him do it. Gus will attack a defensive weak spots. And the key here is, HE NOT AFRAID TO LOSE. He plays to win.

If Houston will let him run the offense Saturday and keep his nose outta it, I really think the nation could be tuned into a classic football game that SEC fans and football fans all over will be talking about for quite sometime. It would put the hogs back on the radar screen and pride back in Arkansas. Also it would make top recruit Mitch Mustain Arkansas first freshman QB to go 4-0 in his first 4 starts

Now the bad side of Saturdays game. If Nutt plays not to lose, it's gonna be ugly. Cause if a homosexuall has the chance to run up the score, he will.


If Malzahn runs offense...

Arkansas 38

Auburn 26

If Nutt plays not to lose...

Arkansas 15

Auburn 23

And Casey Dick finshes at QB, Mustain out with injury.

Tubberville Svcks....

Go hogs

[AUFootball24]

"Arkansas 38

Auburn 26"

Funny, not biased at all!

[tecmsu06]

hahah actually that is a great point tdarkansasohmy.... if houston gives malzahn complete control of the offense I think we could do so much more... not saying we will win, but things could get interesting.

and as for you AUblaaake.. I don't know if auburn is in cruise control for the rest of the season. I mean, sure they are a great team.. but they don't exactly have a big 12 or pac-10 schedule. There is always some room for a slip up. It's the SEC. and I'm not saying that they WILL lose a game this season, but it's only the first weekend in october.. there is still a lot of football.

[RebNick1]

Auburn 38
Hogs 16

[AUFootball24]

I mean, come on. If LSU could only put up 3 against Auburn, what makes you say Arkansas will put up 38???

[Trinity]

I think Arkansas will keep this game respectable.

Auburn 21
Arkansas 13


Sounds bout right

[DIXIE'S PRIDE]

USC put up 17

Hey, very good post TD. I also believe we would have a ligit shot at pulling out the upset if Mahlzan was allowed to run his offense. The cold hard truth however, is we both know that this isn't going to happen. All I've heard for the last two weeks is Houston talk about TOP so we will play ball control and lose big. However, I do believe with your faith in Gus. His stance on TOP is that its overrated. Who cares how long it takes you to score if the defense can't stop you from scoring.

Oh and we had almost double the TOP at Southern Call last season, so I guess we won.

[Chief Broom]

Thanks to the new clock rules each team only has 3 or 4 posessions per half. Auburn scores with most of theirs, ARK once per half = AUBURN 24 & ARK 10.

The point is our offense is not scoring, so TOP matters a lot. If we run a hurry up, no huddle offense and go 3 and out, what good does that do for our defense?

[AFWarrior83]

Barn - 27
Hogs - 17

I say the Hogs have a close lead at half, but the 2nd 1/2 AU will roll us...

[TDArkansasOhmy]

It's called Gus Malzahn's No huddle spread AU Football24. get use to it. You be seeing it hopefully the next 4 years.

[bigkahuna]

I usually lurk here, but I am going to say Arkansas 27 Sideburns 10.....
