SDS predicts the Arkansas/Ole Miss game

Italian Arkie
Ole Miss (-1.5) at Arkansas

Michael: All of a sudden, after exposing Alabama’s defense last weekend in Oxford, Ole Miss is the darling of the SEC. The Rebel offense has been outstanding all season, but guess who practices against a very similar scheme each week in practice? Barry Odom’s Arkansas defense. Now, that doesn’t mean the Razorbacks are going to completely shut down Matt Corral and company but I bet they perform better than expected in this matchup. Feleipe Franks is playing some of the best football of his career right now for Kendal Briles and players like Trelon Smith and De’Vion Warren have emerged in the offense. Don’t be stunned if the better offense in this game comes from the home sideline. After Ole Miss had the game of its life on offense last weekend, I anticipate a bit of a let down in this one.

Chris: This is another game where the line may have been skewed by recency bias. It’s also lowkey one of the best matchups of the week. Ole Miss was dangerously close to pulling off the upset vs Alabama last weekend, and has one of the most explosive offenses in the country. Arkansas, should be 2-1 and has one of the most improved teams, and defenses, in the country.

Kiffin has been really good against the spread covering in 12 of his last 17 as a head coach, and Sam Pittman’s squad is 3-0 ATS this season as well. Arkansas has covered in 6 of the last 7 between these schools, and I am very worried about their 11th ranked rush defense in the conference against this Ole Miss attack. I’m also worried about how much the Hogs can score to keep pace with Matt Corral and Lane Kiffin’s offense. But, not as much as I’m worried about who from Ole Miss is even making the trip due to the recent COVID issues they’ve had in Oxford. Feleipe Franks has completed 72% of his passes with 6 TDs and 0 INTs the last 2 games. I’m taking the Hogs at home and couldn’t be less confident.

Why hasnt anyone asked Gus or Chad on their terrible clock management.

I wonder why no one asked Gus, why his QB was attempting to spike on 3rd down at the 30 Sec mark. They were going to give us at least 25 seconds and a Time Out. They could have run the clock down to 5 seconds and kicked on 4th. It is amazing that their time management was bad, and then they fumble the ball, don't recover it, but then they are bailed out by a penalty, which gave them a running clock.

Critiquing the On-Line Press Conferences

C
Coach does a good job and guy running them is good doing his best to move it along.

Nothing here a big deal. Just some friendly suggestions for the media:
  • Coach should be addressed as “Coach” during the press conference. Even if you are friends with Sam Pittman and I am sure he does not mind, but at a press conference you should use the more formal “Coach”.
  • Do not wear a hat. Hutch does this on occasion. The lighting is usually bad and wearing a hat hides your eyes and puts your face in shade.
  • Do not put your face 4 inches from the camera. Is it Nate Allen who does this? Scary!
  • I prefer the real backgrounds to the virtual even if we see your messy bedroom and bad curtains. It is subtle but it helps you look like a real person instead of a cartoon.
  • Do not use extreme camera angles. I have seen looking from below at the bottom of your chin and looking down on top of your hat. Both bad.
  • It is obvious the women are more attuned to looking good and presentable. Some of the men look like bums. I only remember seeing him once, but there was one guy dressed to the nines. Was his name Jackson? More of him would be fun.
I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the questions from the Arkansas media. I remember when their most probing questions were something like, “Talk about the running backs.”

Cancel Game Possibility

Razorgotback
What is the soonest or latest a team can cancel a football game due to Covid? Day before? 2 days? Is this something we could wake up Sat am and they say the game is cancelled with Ole Miss? Does the Coach make this call? Considering we're pretty banged up, would this be a good time if Ole Miss actually cancelled the game.

Of course I want the game to happen but I wonder if this would actually be in our favor to rest for for another week to have our top offensive players back for this game. We're gonna need to score points to hold our own on this one. We'll actually all of them but they are pretty heavy offensively and have scored on some of the best so far.

Anyway, unbelievable how far our team has come with this coaching and focus I won't be surprised if we keep up what we've done so far, that either Coach Pitt or Odom get a coach of the year award. Good things on the hogrizon
