CFN preview: Arkansas vs. Alabama
- Thread starter crimsonaudio
- Start date
I'm thinking that Arkansas is being overlooked a little bit. They lost to a highly thought of A&M team in overtime, and beat UT in Knoxville. They actually handled UT better than Oklahoma or Florida. I think we win...but we're in for a physical, workman type day.
Bama 24-10

Everything has started with the run game on offense this year. When we haven't gotten it going or avoid it, it has been a struggle. We're gonna find out how real those gaudy rush defense numbers are for Arkansas. If they're for real on that metric then I think we're gonna sputter a bit offensively because I don't think the passing game can operate at a high level off pure drop back this year.
If Arkansas can hold up against the rushing attack: 27-10 type game probably
If Arkansas can't hold up against the rushing attack: 38-10 type game probably.

I think that the defense may be just a bit ticked that they let Chubb get his 100-yard game on a long run after holding him in check. They'll probably be extra motivated to stop the ground game.
One of the stats I keep is P5 scores. Alabama is +40 in three games and Arkansas is -13 in three games. That's an 18 pt advantage.
Arkansas is a better team than their record shows? How does he figure that? Is Tennessee a better team than their record shows? Must be going by preseason ranking.

When everyone is on one side of a game like this, I get worried. The media is really doing a great job of making everyone believe that Alabama just needs to show up to win this game.
Hope the Alabama players are focused on what they have to do.

You're probably right. I hope you are. But I think they are just as capable or more capable than GA re: sustaining drives via the run or breaking big plays via the run. They also may be more capable re: the passing game so 17 points IMHO would still be a pretty good day for our D. Especially if we score 38
.
Because we pretty much beat ourselves against Toledo and Texas A&M. Dominated the statistical categories in both games but found a way to lose due to penalties. We probably beat Toledo 8/10 times
My opinion is this is going to be a very frustrating game for Alabama fans. We do this all the time. We look great one week and everyone starts up the hype machine, including the media, and all it's doing is giving the opponent plenty of motivation to play above their heads.
I don't think Alabama will go into this game unfocused or anything like that, but it can't help but come back down to earth from last week. And Arkansas is desperate.
Hope I'm wrong.
