I’ll say Auburn -13.5

Ok here is my gut feeling and you can run with it haha. I think Gus is done at Auburn, but he quits he gets no money and his buyout is Amazing. So he hires Chad knowing how terrible Chad is at coaching and game planning so that will be the last staw so they will get rid of him and he gets paid to take a year off doing ESPN.

I have felt Guz really dislikes the Booster and Fan base because they are never happy with anything any coach does there.

According to the Auburn site their starting MLB is reportedly out with a shoulder injury. Hate the injury but good for us.

Quotes:
** Huge win for Arkansas on the road. Barry Odom a very good DC. Forced a bunch of turnovers. QB can make plays with his legs.

** Hopeful to have all hands on deck this week including LB K.J. Britt and WR Seth Williams (asked about those two).

** Malzahn mentions again that UGA made them one-dimensional on offense and they've got to be more balanced and better running the football.

** Pleased with coverage units overall. Both punters have had some good kicks.

** Arkansas did a very good job defending UGA in Week 1 and then MSU the next game. Will need to execute well to beat them. Need to be real physical.

** No hints on the OL going into the Arkansas game other than they're going to settle into a five and there's still competition. Said Bicknell and Morris will have a plan.

** Had another good round of COVID tests Sunday.

** Not sure how much Coach Morris' familiarity with Arkansas will help this week. "They're doing different things now."

** Arkansas QB Franks looks confident, veteran guy, players confident around him.

** Malzahn clarifies no new positive COVID tests.

** On potential hurricane: Preparing that it's going to be wet and rainy.

** Going to practice this week with the mindset they can improve. Goal is to get better each week. Have potential to do that and believe we will.

** Tank Bigsby played hard and with passion. Could of done some things better but the way he played was what you look for as a coach.

** Zierer and Coffey are coming along. Got some extra reps Sunday. Developing more depth. Will definitely help in the future. Zierer is not quite back to full speed. Seeing improvement in knee each week.

** Didn't have all five guys together on the OL during any week of fall camp. They will improve.

** Big Kat Bryant practiced Sunday and looked fine. Big factor in our pass rush and that's an area we'll work hard on.

** Nehemiah Pritchett did some good things coverage-wide and competed. Good experience.

I said last week that the Hogs would win, they did just that, from all the indications I've looked at. if the game is played on skill to skill then the Hogs will be the victor when the final whistle blows...

I’d love to see a heavy dose of smith and Johnson! Thunder and lightning!

Answer: They don’t.

Auburn linebacker Owen Pappoe on Arkansas' offense this year:
"They look better than they have in the past few years. Definitely better than last year."

Auburn players and coaches realizing they can’t treat this game like a bye week for the first time in years thanks to Chad has kept me smiling all week.

Heard from a strong source just now they’re looking at all options - including potentially playing in Fayetteville. I’d be surprised, but it was a good source.

Is he even on the team?? Like even as a walk on? Or is it all in his head lol.

Game has been moved from baton rouge to Columbia because of the cane. Wonder if we will do the same.

A couple of NFL debuts, a first career start, a couple of 15-yard penalties + more in my comprehensive update: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/pro-hogs-nfl-report-2020-week-4

test

After looking over the comparison between the two teams I love our chances IF our offense can show improvement. On paper Auburn is not threatening at least.

Devo: best teammate on roster, can be too unselfish at times. Great court vision and floor general. Still needs to work on shot. Neck and neck with Tate for minutes.

Notae: return has been a big boost. Still a battle between he and KK for starting guard spot. Shot-making consistency improved a lot. Much better at taking high percentage looks.

Jaylin: Will play a lot.

CV: is a "monster"

Moses: has been dominant. He and Vance will definitely compete for leading scorer. CV and Notae could, as well.

KK: Probably won't average double figures, but will be incredibly efficient. "He's so smart."

They have a defensive rotation with Desi, Moses, Tate, Smith, and CV that is apparently very difficult to score on. "Virtually impossible without luck." CV and Smith compliment each other's weaknesses well (speed, height).

Ethan: doing a nice job and improving but won't get a ton of playing time on this roster.

Pittman really doesn't like talking about injuries. Haha.

From the teleconference, when asked about Boyd, Burks, Brown: "They’re fine. I anticipate at least two of the three being able to play. We hope all three will."

I listed new card and have renewed membership. I still cannot get back on. I keep getting subscribe

Here's what Pittman had to say about the Hogs playing former head coach Chad Morris this week: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/arkansas-set-to-face-former-head-coach-chad-morris
