Last year, I did some graphs comparing the Hogs' progress - or lack thereof - from 2018 to 2019 in several key statistical categories. It was unique in that I didn't just look at the Hogs' numbers through X number of games because sometimes you play Alabama in Week 5 and sometimes you play Colorado State in Week 5, so obviously the numbers in those games are apples to apples. To account for that, I manipulated the 2018 numbers to go in the order of the 2019 schedule, matching up the same opponents (all the SEC West schools, Missouri and - last year - Colorado State) and then also compared the similar schools (so Eastern Illinois-Portland State, Vanderbilt-Kentucky, etc.). If you need a refresher on what that looked like, here's one of them: https://arkansas.rivals.com/news/look-comparing-2018-vs-2019-through-week-10

My question to y'all is how should I handle this season? Obviously there are now 10 SEC games instead of eight. I had planned on comparing the Kentucky game to the Tennessee game this year as that is the crossover SEC East opponent. It was going to be tricky with Notre Dame, but I was going to compare it to SJSU. Also Portland State-Charleston Southern, Colorado State-Nevada, WKU-ULM.

But now there's Georgia and Florida. What I am thinking about doing is just duplicating Arkansas' numbers against Alabama (Georgia) and LSU (Florida) and using those numbers for the 2019 vs. 2020 comparison. I think that is probably the most fair thing to do because those are probably the most similar teams.

Thoughts?

Qb, RB and OL play.

Essentially the game comes down to one stat for me.

3-14 on 3rd downs.

GA's defense is elite, no doubt. But we have no shot, unless we can sustain drives. Franks was very ineffective yesterday and missed lots of throws. Not to mention he never went down the field.

The OL never really gave Boyd a chance but it was obvious that Georgia sold out to stop the run, and dared Franks to beat us with his arm.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.
