A Half-Dozen Hyper-Specific Predictions About…Arkansas
Everybody’s favorite sleeper from the SEC is up next on the list. And it would be a virtual impossibility not to be excited for team hoo pig sooie. 10 starters are back to run the Bobby Petrino supersystem. But will it be enough to get them to the promised land?
Last Year: 8-5 (3-5) t4th SEC West.
1) The Summer of Mallett continues into the fall. With one of the deepest receiving corps in the nation and 4 returning offensive linemen? Ryan Mallett gets 4300 yards and 38 touchdowns. Also, a trip to New York.
2) In terms of running game? There will be effectiveness, but no one man will emerge as a statistical stud. Broderick Green will get 7 touchdowns. Ronnie Wingo will get 600 yards. Knile Davis will be solid as well. Combined? 1400 yards and 12 TD’s.
3) The main pass-catching beneficiary of this offensive largesse? Joe Adams. In between having a stroke, he was the team’s leader in yards per catch and tied for the lead in touchdowns. He’ll go for 70-1344-11.
4) The much-maligned defensive secondary will find themselves as heroes as they will stop two teams from winning on a two minute drill. Those two teams? Ole Miss and LSU.
5) Traditionally, Arkansas has struggled in their SEC openers, but that will change this season as they go between the Hedges and find a way to gash Georgia. 52-21 is a definite possibility.
6) But will this team go unbeaten? Nah. They could very well go 11-1 and not even get a BCS game. In fact, I think the SEC West could get to a point where the highest ranked BCS team gets the invite to the SEC Championship game. I’ll say that Arkansas doesn’t get past Alabama, but they will get one versus Auburn.
/hides.
This year: 11-1 (7-1) t1st SEC West

Wow bud? You are drunk on the Hog Koolaid. Sorry bud. The SEC West crown comes from the state of Alabama.
Looking forward to a great season.

Oh wait. I’m not done yet. I read the tiebreakers, and just because I have Arkansas in a tie for 1st doesn’t mean they’re repping the West for the title game. The hyper-specific spoiler, Multiple tiebreakers will be met.
