A&M Was Better Tonight

[bphi11ips]

We won't face a better team than A&M outside of Alabama.  Arkansas is good.  A&M is better.  Chavis is a difference maker.

Austin Allen was very good tonight.  Hogs left nothing on the field, but they were outmanned.  Would like to have a few plays back.

  Yep. We got beat by a very good team. Still lots of football to play. We will win some and lose some.

  I still think we have a punchers chance of winning more than we lose. We shall see. :razorback:

[Bacon_Bitz]

Yep as much as I don't like to admit it the Aggies are for real this year.

[jdlew]

Big and fast...both sides of the ball

[orvillesghost]

Truth..hurts to say that but gotta be honest.

Very well said. Agree 100%

[pfrg999]

Yes youre right there is nothing CBB can do to beat TAMU, he cant outrecruit them or out coach, just hope we win other games...

[hoglady]

Oline absolutely has to play better.
Every SEC Dline is good to great.
Tonight was the first real test for our Oline and they failed miserably.
The better team won tonight.

[cosmodrum]

They were better yesterday, and they'll be better tomorrow. Just a better team.

We should probably go around 7-5 like I thought. Bret says he has a 5 year plan. If we dont win 9+ games next year, I have no use for him.

[mckinneyhog5]

F. Aggies will collapse the rest of year...that's what they do.

[fanofthehog]

I'm sick of losing to them.  Every freaking year they dominate the 4th quarter.  Bret said we had depth now, so why does this still happen? 

[3kgthog]

Yep as much as I don't like to admit it the Aggies are for real this year.

Play like they did the first half and Bama will wipe the floor with Knight and the rest of their team,

[mckinneyhog5]

Yep , Alabama will bend them over...but they'll like it.

[S.A.D.C]

I am afraid that team isn't that great.  They have a great front 7 on defense.  But the back of their D is terrible.  And their offense is 1 dimensional- T Knight can't pass guys!  They were better than us tonight but they are not great and have some huge flaws.  I am afraid of what that's means for us.

[26.2Hog]

The Aggies are better. They have more talented athletes and a lot more speed. 

Recruiting is the difference.

[panhandlepig]

I hope so. Hate em. I don't feel good about it but I do. Hate them.

[Birddawg23]

Agree. AM is Above average on a good day. We choked and couldn't finish.

[hoglady]

For sure - Aggies make the same mistakes against Bama they did against us and it'll be game over.
Aggies are very good - not convinced they're Bama good, though.

Uh, to sell tickets and get people thinking we have a shot at winning nine games when in actuality we're a .500 or less ball club?

[pfrg999]

6 to 7 wins, maybe more next year, maybe less... The Cubs of college football

[go hogues]

Play like they did the first half and Bama will wipe the floor with Knight and the rest of their team,

They'll get blown out by Bama and Ole Miss - the two teams that are head and shoulders above the rest of the West.

[mckinneyhog5]

500? Dude check the last time we were 500

[pfrg999]

We've tried to do it everygame. . We just came thru and lost thisnone

[Torqued pork]

Sumlin joined Saban in the "I Own Arkansas" club tonight.
God bless Les Miles.

[WorfHog]

They'll be better until CBB or Sumlin leaves.  Auburn, Ole Miss and Alabama are for sure losses and Florida will probably win too.  Our coaches didn't have the game plan in place on either side of the ball to compete. Don't see that changing until CBB is gone.

[go hogues]

500? Dude check the last time we were 500

We'll go 6-6 this year. That's .500 isn't it?

[WorfHog]

Regular season?

Not so fast my friend.  Every game is different. 

[kp72204]

Yep , Alabama will bend them over...but they'll like it.

And then bend us over!!!!!!!!!! And I won't like it

[ricepig]

Not so fast my friend.  Every game is different. 

You got to let them vent. It's funny, the vast majority of them said we'd be 6-6 or worse, yet we lose a game we're the underdog in, and it's fire everyone.

Alabama will expose A&M's weaknesses.

Agreed.  A&M's not a particularly good team.  The Hogs have issues so they have to play mistake free or the issues and the mistakes will get them beat.

Auburn is a sure loss??

I Strongly disagree with that.

Venting is healthy. 

[cosmodrum]

Depends on your definition of for real. Bama will beat them and ole miss will too

Damn good post. Thanks! A voice of reason in a sea of over-reactions. We could go 10-2, 9-3, before this is all done.

Austin is a warrior, for sure. I agree with most of what you said, but I think Ole Miss might blow it wide open, too. Home field helps, I guess.

Sometimes you just need to say good game and take an ice bath.

I bet we'll be saying this in the year 2025 the way Ark is going.

[WorfHog]

Not when you're outmatched at every position except QB.

You got to let them vent. It's funny, the vast majority of them said we'd be 6-6 or worse, yet we lose a game we're the underdog in, and it's fire everyone.

CBB has had four chances to beat CKS. He's failed each time. Unlike every coach in Arkansas history.  When is it time to question the direction were going?

If so the Aggies may be creeping up on evening the series record.

Take four Advil and post in the morning.

They ain't that good Bama and Ole Miss will absolutely roll them.

[gchamblee]

you already dont. you tapped out early in his career. i think we win 9 this year and i hope it pisses you off.

we went up 7-0 early. thats a good game plan.
we were going up 14-0 when rw3 fumbled on the 1 yard line. fumbling was not in the game plan.
we took the ball from them in the 3rd and used up 10 minutes of the clock on a 19 play drive. thats a good game plan. their defense was amazing, regardless of our gameplan.


youre an idiot.

[crayola99]

Chavis is saving Sumlins job.   The Aggies have a lot of talent on defense and he is the best defensive coordinator in the business.

[Pig In The City]

No, they were better when it mattered...in the red zone and 4th qtr.

[Pig In The City]

Yes

[Tejano Jawg]

OP is right. I hate saying they (I can only refer to them as "they") are better. But they were. Our best players were good enough to have won the game, but beyond them, a lot of people got beat tonight.

Sometimes the superior team doesn't win. We saw what needed to happen to do the job. We were kinda teased with it. Force a turnover to get a score, get lucky on a few special teams plays, put some drives together, make a few stops, make a few big plays.

However, your mistakes have to be very few. You can't fumble when you're approaching field goal range. You can't fumble when you're going in for six. You have to block. If you can't block, you have call better plays to give you a chance. You can't give up lots of big plays, unless you can match every one of them. When the list is this long...you go back to the simple fact that the better team usually wins.
