For some reason I'm worried we are going to struggle against them. And that Starkle is going to look really good. Yes I have BAS.

There are a lot of people on here who hope that happens

who is Starkle? is he the starkle of your eye?

No we play Auburn first.

This is how the team AND fans should look at this. Everything changes week to week in CFB.

Arkansas is easily the worst team our division and a team we should beat. Having said that I will feel less confident if we lose at home to Auburn.

I watched the Col St vs Ark game. If we can't beat this Arkansas team we aren't very good ourselves.

No

They were tied with Colorado State going into the 4Q last week. No.

Do you live in Arkansas or something? Why in the world are you posting about Arkansas when it is Auburn week?

Nope

Our one true rival

Our Super Bowl

Sure hope our squad isn't overlooking Auburn for the big one in Dallas

I actually think Starkel will be more nervous playing us and it will show in his performance.

I'm not worried about Arkansas until we best Auburn...

Knowing a coaches tendencies and weaknesses are shown on film. Even though it is a different scheme, Elko has game film and a few years of practice film to prepare for Starkle. The DBs are playing better and more competitively, and the ball control game Fisher plays should lead to a win.

If it's still a game in the 4th quarter against Arkansas, we have big problems IMO. That team has no identity, no leadership, sub-par talent, and sub-par coaching. It really shouldn't be close.

I also watched their games vs. Portland State and Ole Miss (soon-to-be son-in-law played football at Arkansas). If we even allow Arkansas to be within 20 points of us at game's end, we should seriously question our selection of Jimbo Fisher as our head coach. That is not hyperbole. The Razorbacks are bad, bad, bad. Like almost Rice bad. They're bad to the point that if we lost all 11 starters on offense AND all 11 starters on defense to season ending injuries, we should still beat Arkansas by at least a touchdown.

Losing to Arkansas this season would be like losing to SMU, North Texas, Kansas, or Illinois.

I am most worried about how many people here will be rooting for Starkel

Im not worrying Arkansas until the day we play them...and neither should anybody else.

I'm sure it will be a close game like always.

If our secondary weren't playing like one of the better units on the team... yes I would be.

Right now? No.

Not at all. Their coach is not good

Depends on what happens Saturday what I think about on Sunday.

"There are a lot of people on here who hope that happens"

Huh? I doubt that.

I'm worried about our game vs Arkansas since last year's game was a 1 possession game. We are Arkansas's Super Bowl and will get their best shot.

I am alot more worried about everyone else in the SEC. We should win by 20, but probably do not cover whatever the spread ends up being. We would have to play truly terrible and get some bad bounces to lose.

And the year before that.

And the year before that.

And the year before that.

Honestly, when was the last time we won comfortably? 2013?

That said, if we don't boat race them this year, we have some serious issues.

We have a top ten Auburn team coming to Kyle Field Saturday. Why would you even be thinking about Arkansas right now? Arkansas is bad. Perhaps one of their worst teams in a long time.

Could Arky beat us. Yes. But this Auburn game is probably the most critical game of the season.
Lose this game and there's an extremely low probability that this yr is seen as a success imo.

Teams look ahead to beating the bigger opponents. Message board posters look ahead to being embarrassed by the lesser teams.

The only reason last year's game was a 1 possession game was the offense did everything in their power to keep it close and the secondary stunk. The secondary doesn't stink this year so we should win by at least two scores even if the offense pulls that crap again.

The Aggies won 45-24 in 2016.

Arkansas just beat a very bad Colorado St. team at home. The previous week they lost to a bad Ole Miss team.

Unless we absolutely implode on ourselves, we will win this game - so no I'm not worried about this game, even if it is close for 3 quarters.
