I agree with your whole assessment and I have said all along, for some time, that it looked like SEC coaches had Nutt figured out like a book. I couldn't read the defenses on TV but if Bama was in the same McFadden or run prevent defense, I'll bet that a Bobby Bowden or a Pete Carrol.would have called a down field pass or if no one was open Dick should eat the ball to run clock . Hogsdill sounds like a Nuttaholic or maybe he's a Nutt family member. If he disagrees with you, come back with the facts and not the ridiculous "go root for Alabama".. I feel your pain Hogblogger. This was the year for making noise (actually it was last year, but we didn't knowi it until Tennessee). Next year we got nothin' except Dick.

Def. I do agree with you on pet teams in the polls. Lots of questions there. Wisconsin remains high despite having a tough game with the Citadel. And Texas (?) barely wins at UCF and then there is that close game with

ASU where the Indians also got screwed at the end. Wisconsin is higher in one poll than Ohio State even when OSU had a more impressive victory over a good Washington team. And so on and so forth. What I suspect is going on is ego. These guys ranked the teams at the beginning of the season and feel obligated to stick with their original choices to save face. As I recall, Michigan was still in the top 25 even after Appalachian State.. Regarding Fish, he can't hang on to the ball for punts or receiving, is too short for DB, and is too small for the kind of ground game that Arkansas likes. In retrospect, however, both Fish and Crawford did what Arkansas receivers have not done much of lately, i.e., get separation and get open. Keep in mind that aside for those two and Tuck who else is there? Remember that a pass to the tight end is a trick play for Nutt. I might be wrong but I don't think that Kentucky has the ground game that Alabama had and the Hogs should be able to put more emphasis on passing defense. One thing that is scary though, the Kentucky QB is much more mobile than Wllson, and that spells trouble. However, I think that Arkansas can still outscore Kentucky as long as Nutt doesn't coach not to lose.

As far as Burns with Auburn, I would sure be surprised if he was able to go his first year in college even as good as he was in HS. Future years, he likely will be good for Auburn if their coach lasts through this year for they sure are taking their lumps which was not expected by the prognosticators.

Lest we forget, it is horrible for a Senior to lose his cool in a big game the way one of our young men did that caused him to be thrown out of the game. In our society today with a lack of discipline everywhere, that is perhaps inevitable since one sees it everywhere nowadays. I suppose it is just self defeating in the eyes of everyone but the perpetrator. THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE FOR HIM TO MAKE and I feel sure the coaches will deal with him to ensure he understands. That was costly. Nevertheless, GO HOGS! GO!

Probably Woodson but who cares? I don't think his defense can stop the run as well as they'll need to and if he ain't on the field, he's just an All SEC benchwarmer.

I didn't see that play clock fubar but I wouldn't be surprised. There were several 'calls' in the game that were very questionable (starting with the pass interference and continuing with that time-consuming cluster f**k after Jones' run at the end zone late in the third. How much time ran off the during that? I realize the lost time could have affected either team adversely but we sure could have used an extra 15 or so seconds there at the end).

I am by no means a hugger, but . . . nevermind, I'll reserve that thought until next Sunday.

The only truly bad coaching decision was to drop all those DB's (prevent) and allow them do get 10 yards on each pass. But doesn't every defensive coach in America do that in that situation.

If Sabin kicks the field goal and then does NOT get the TD at the end of the game, then Bama fans are screaming that Sabin got outcoached because he didn't go for it on 4th down and try to tie the game.

Our defense IS our problem right now. We were only affective when our blitz hurried or got to little John Parker. Our blitz needs to get to UK's QB early and often.

Despite our defense, we will win Friday. I had a bad feeling about the Bama game and was right. But I feel real good about the UK game now. Their defense will look pitiful against DMac.

Also, DMac was just sick in that game. (And that's sick in a good way.) He is a man among boys. That was a Heisman performance last night.

Classic Dale. Sure Monk and McFadden are better than their conterparts in any game they play. But one knocked knee or knocked head puts an end to that stratagy. Football is a team game with Offense, Defense, kicking, a game plan, and players. You have heard of putting all your eggs in one basket and what happens when you drop the basket.

Our problem right now is our defense. 26 points to troy and 41 points to Bama in two games. Kentucky comes off a big win while we come in off the loss. It will not be the walkover you predict. Our defense is not there. Arkansas can join the ranks of the overrated with a loss and end any hope of returning to Atlanta in week 4.
