How Arky performs against Bama will be a good indication for how they do against us. So no, I hope they don't throw 300 yards. But I hope Bama hands them the game on a platter with big mistakes.
I think you're spot on. Wilson has already proved that he tends to force passes into tight coverage. There were several passes he threw against troy that would have been pick 6s against an SEC DB. I still say the wildcard will be DJohnson. He "was" good before he got hurt last year. Have to wait and see what happens this year ... but I think they've been saving him for this game.
You attack Bama's strengths. Les attacked the line of scrimmage in the rushing game. Les declared the spread dead, went to the "power I" this season and has totally committed to a run first, conservative passing attack for balance with a souped up defense to bring it home. Unlike arky he is building this team to play Alabama and bring home the bacon. Arky's final break through the top tier of the west, didn't just lay with a comparable replacement for Mallet, it was the power, speed and size of Knile Davis that was most threatening. Losing Davis was a big deal against Bama and LSU. You have to beat us at our own game.
I live in AR, so I'm surrounded by it. When they aren't playing LSU, I have to pretend to support them, [hey, Im in sales ... that kinda stuff is a gold], thus, I hear all the talk, the perspectives, the insider info, etc. PLUS .. the only fricken thing they can talk about up here on the NEWS with regards to SPORTS is the fricken Hogs. I mean, no pro sports, no nothing ... just Bacon ... 24/7. Not to mention, my best friend up here is a big Hogs fan .. of course [they all are]. So ..ur gonna have to cut me a little bit of slack here ... I assure you though, I didn't get DirecTV and the 55" HD Flat Screen to watch pigs. .. that was for LSU Tiger Football. :geaux: ... actually, CLM hired me as a spy on the inside
My cousin is a hogaholic. He lives in Hope, ark. He gives me chit about LSU losing to the hoggs last year and how the hoggs own LSU bla bla floppin bla. He sent me a card in the mail last year after the hoggs beat lsu. It was the kind of card you get when a family member dies. He said how sorry he was about the death of my season and how he would be thinking of me when the pigs played in a real bcs bowl. I hope we knock the hogs so far down the pecking order that they will be lucky to make the independance bowl. I'm gonna have a singing telegram show up at his job and sing him a sad sad song after ware and ford run their arse's in the ground.
LOL .. yeah .. have them follow it up with the LSU alma mater. These guys really are rabbid up here about their pork. My Little Boy wears his Good-LSU, Bad-Bama, Ugly -Hogs shirt to school every Friday before every Hogs Home Games. Burns his little buddies up.
I dont feel your pain but had a taste of it a few years back when I worked with a hogs fan. Ridiculous! When they they beat us in OT back in 07' I almost went to prison the week after Thanksgiving.
