1) He's acting like he came into this awful situation: A&M averaged finishing 12th in the country in recruiting the three years before he got there
2) What kind of a comment is: "Well, we actually anticipated to win this one
?" Is he indicating he went into games previous to this anticipating a loss? Obviously you and I can think that because it's not our job to ensure it doesn't happen. But how can you inspire greatness from your team if you're going, "Hey guys, just go out and have fun. We're not going to win this."

Odom is a beast! No freaking doubt! But don’t forget about Sam carter the secondary coach! I really think he’s coached them up individually as a group and got them playing that way. He brings a lot of swagger with him and I think the guys play off him. He was an aggressive player when he played. And he’s teaching them to fly up and lay the wood. I think he’s super underrated.

One thing winning will fix: Our players get some damn respect with in game color analyst and commentators. It was annoying the hell out of me the last few games when some of our best players were getting injured and they were never discussed or even recognized they weren’t in the game? How do you not mention the whole game that our two starting defensive ends were not present? Or the fact that Burkes, our biggest offensive threat all of a sudden hasn’t been in the game? The only players they seemed to know were Boyd, Franks, and now Pool. Hopefully winning changes that.

I was just offered Zeke for Dalvin Cook. I know how the Boys have been playing but I feel like they are about to get back to what they need to do and run the football. Any advice would be awesome! Standard non ppr league

Chiefs just got the biggest bailout since the tuck rule game.

Early whistle for no reason when Mahomes was going down and fumbled. Refs said incomplete pass. Chiefs punted before anything could be reviewed.

This is insane. Give the guy a raise...now...When was the last time we had 4 of our 5 top rated defensive players be secondary players...let alone safeties...

Eric Bossi goes to competitor.

This guys is the best high school basketball analyst out there.

I’m thinking maybe we run a 3-3-5? Gives you another lb for run support. But leaves you with 5 dbs. Because we know Chad and Gus are going to want to pass it.

@nikkichavanelle how you feel?

Pittman didn't reveal a ton, but here's the latest on all of the banged up guys: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/injury-report-latest-on-boyd-burks-brown-gerald-others

Lucas has a game in Frisco Friday night so the fam is coming up north to take in Fayetteville again

eyes would have definitely called it a fumbled...unfortunately Stevie Wonder in the control both back @ SEC Central is the one who makes the call...not short of atrocious but predictable.

Read on SEC Rant that some games might be getting moved. LSU might be moving to Missouri, and the Florida game might get moved as well.


Let's move the Auburn game here, that would be fun to beat Chad in Fayetteville.

No early games yet! Woop woop. 3:30 this week and next week

1. The Streak is Over - HUTCH

Not only did Arkansas snap its 10-game skid and 20-game SEC losing streak by knocking off a top-20 team on the road as a 17-point underdog, but it did so by limiting the air raid to just 14 points despite numerous injuries.

Nikki did a nice job recapping how backups stepped up big for the Razorbacks - on both sides of the ball - in her postgame story. The piece features an incredible stat: former and current walk-ons contributed a total of 245 offensive or defensive snaps in the win.

I want to focus on the defense, though. In addition to former walk-ons Grant Morgan (68 snaps) and Simeon Blair (55) and current walk-on Hudson Clark (49), Arkansas also got significant contributions from former two-star recruits Jerry Jacobs (84), Andrew Parker (13) and Hayden Henry (11).

Combine those six players and they accounted for nearly one-third of the Razorbacks’ total defensive snaps - on a unit that (it bears repeating) held Mississippi State’s air raid offense to just 14 points.

2. Tackling Machines - HUTCH

I am aware that tackles can sometimes be an overrated stat. Just because you make a lot of tackles doesn’t mean you’re necessarily a great player.

However, the production Arkansas has gotten from its two starting linebackers - Bumper Pool and Grant Morgan - has been incredible. They have 31 and 28 tackles, respectively, through two games.

Those marks rank first and second in the SEC, while they also rank first and second nationally in terms of tackles per game. It’s unlikely they sustain that pace, especially if the offense gets it going and starts swinging the time of possession back in its favor, but they’re tracking toward 155 and 140 tackles - totals Arkansas hasn’t seen since Ken Hamlin in 2002 (159 tackles).

(It’s also worth noting Morgan played the entire second half Saturday essentially with one arm. I have no idea what the injury was, but he strikes me as the kind of guy who’d have a bone popped back in place and taped up on the sideline to he could keep playing.)

I had so little faith in the Razorbacks’ linebackers that I actually predicted Joe Foucha to lead the team in tackles this season in our preseason roundtable. We’re just two games into a 10-game season, but boy, does it look like I was wrong about doubting Pool and Morgan.

3. It’s a Wonderful Razorback Life - SEC Shorts - HUTCH

The SEC Shorts folks do pretty funny videos and the one in honor of Arkansas snapping its 20-game SEC losing streak is a classic…

4. Week 3 SEC Opening Lines - NIKKI

Tennessee at Georgia (-14)
Florida (-7) at Texas A&M
South Carolina (-12) at Vanderbilt
Arkansas at Auburn (-18)
Alabama (-23) at Ole Miss
Mississippi State at Kentucky (-3)
Missouri at LSU (-18)

The Arkansas line has already moved to -16.5. One thing I know for sure is Arkansas players are going to fight to the death for this win, I don't think they'll have more motivation than they do this week so early thinking is pick the Hogs to cover.

5. Feleipe Franks' week two performance - NIKKI

Despite a pretty anemic offense on most drives, Franks looked decently sharp with 20 of 28 completions, two touchdowns and NO turnovers. Keeping the ball safe was huge for the Hogs especially since they could hardly move down the field.

Through two weeks, Franks ranks 10th in the SEC in passing yards per game (206), 9th in completion percentage (60.9) and 7th in total completions.

Incoming! Will post video ASAP after

Picking this mediocre QB as FOTY ahead of arguably the best defensive year ever by a true freshman was the most asinine decision ever.

Been rewatching the game throughout the day, and a couple plays stood out to me. The first was the TD that KJ had in the first quarter where he scrambled. Marshall literally drives the center back 10 yards and forces KJ out of the pocket.

2nd play would be the goal line stop in the 4th quarter. He again blew the center up and Foucha came flying in as well.

The wife springs it on me last week she wants to go fly fishing for our anniversary this weekend.
Gastons is booked and we will need a guide (I’m no fly fisherman as of yet).
Any recommendations for guides around white or red rivers or down by broken bow Oklahoma?

My story on the Hogs' defensive performance tonight: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/odom-s-scheme-works-wonders-for-arkansas-defense

I say 10.

Anyone have an update on him? Sure would be nice to get him back this week

Ian Mathews this morning. The 2021 DE days he talks to coach Leblanc a lot and is interested in learning more about Arkansas.

He doesn’t know much about any schools on his list yet he said he is planning to wait until after the season, likely into 2021 (he plays basketball too), to make his decision.
