Bo said that Arkansas used some formations that they hadn't used in any of their previous games. We got surprised coming out of the gate, but adjustments were made.
It's difficult to defend b/c it's not something a defense sees very often. We had limited practice time due to the short week and having to travel. Give a good DC two weeks to prepare for this type of offense and they'll shut it down. Give them three days and you get what we saw yesterday. It's a gimmick offense that will give many defenses fits. I was impressed with their imagination. It would be diffcult to stop if they had a decent QB.
That's an understatement. Try "virtually impossible". :thumb: Them boys were hell (that 2 headed backfield monster, that is).
Mississippi State held them to 122 yards. The fact that they consistently got to the outside had me puzzled. They are both great backs but you think we would have eventually figured it out.
Makes you wonder if Arkansas wasn't trying to show LSU much of anything vs. MSU and it very nearly cost them (had it not been for those 2 costly MSU turnovers).
Highsmith went out early in the game and didn't return. Watching the game it didn't appear that Beckwith was 100%. I'm getting ready to watch the game again and I'm going to key on our linebacker play. I suspect that was a contributor to the Hogs success running the ball.
