So, Texas A&M...

[Ben]

Looks pretty darn good right now on both sides of the ball. We may have an issue with them again. Got to keep improving until then and knock off TCU

[racinghog]

UCLA's off line is horrible

[Hogs run wild]

if, and that's a big IF, we can contain that run, then we got a good chance. they have speed to burn though.

[greenie]

Looks like we just need to play the run. Their passing game looks weak. And UCLA looks horrible.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

A$M looks very good no matter how good or bad UCLA is.  They're doing what a superior team should do.  This is them every first week of the season.  We will be underdogs like always, yet we've played them very tough regardless.  Have to find a way to get over the jump this time.

[hawgsalot]

It's the PAC 12 seriously

We beat TCU we will not be underdogs

Seriously.

[factchecker]

Life in the SEC West.

[010HogFan]

Not sold on them. They look ok, but they can't pass the ball a lick. Trayveon Williams is really good, but UCLA is trash. It will still be a tough game for us though regardless just like it always is.

[hogcard1964]

If we lose to these slugs again, I want Bielema gone the following morning.

Enough!!!

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Not buying that no matter the TCU game.  Aggies will be favored.

[BigSexyHog]

It helps when the other team gifts you turnovers.  And the OL COACH at UCLA is worse them Anderson

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Not happening.  7 wins is all that necessary to keep the seat reasonably cool.  Very doable even with an Aggie loss.

[code red]

Yeah many here have said the DL would be garbage.  Lol. 

[grayhawg]

The UCLA team they are playing was a 4 and 8 team last year and look worse than that now.

[code red]

7-5 will mean 9 or more in 2018 or else.  6-6 is the best I see.

[Arkansas Fan]

UCLA's off line is horrible

Can't be any worse than ours.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Yeah many here have said the DL would be garbage.  Lol. 

UCLA was 4-8 last year. Let's not overreact one way or the other

[Letsroll1200]

Sumlin is showing why he's one of the top 3 coaches in the SEC

[AugustaHog]

UCLA's defense looks like ours from 2015-16.  Wide open running lanes and poor tackling equals a tail whipping.  Certainly TAMU has a lot to do with that, but a solid run D would force that QB to have to do something.  I'm not sure that he's going to win a ton of games if that running game is held in check.  I'm not sure that we're the D to force their hand, but they will find that challenge in the conerence for sure.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Can't be any worse than ours.

They were counting Raulerson to start at center before he was denied admission to there grad program

[Arkansas Fan]

Sumlin is showing why he's one of the top 3 coaches in the SEC

Then why is A&M looking for reasons to fire him?

[Kevin]

Their defense looks fast

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Sumlin is showing why he's one of the top 3 coaches in the SEC

You can't be serious

[go hogues]

A&M will peak against us and then slowly burn out. Same story since 2013.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

7-5 will mean 9 or more in 2018 or else.  6-6 is the best I see.

So you're saying if we go 7-5 this season, then 8-4 next, he's fired?  After 5 straight bowl games?  Or does "or else" mean something other than termination?

[Letsroll1200]

You can't be serious

Saban
Mullen
Sumlin or Malzahn

[Pudgepork]

Sumlin is showing why he's one of the top 3 coaches in the SEC

Top 3 on the hot seat maybe.  Their mid season meltdowns prove he's average because they do have talent

[PorkRinds]

Sumlin is showing why he's one of the top 3 coaches in the SEC

That's a friggin joke. He's got the hottest seat in the SEC right now.

[Letsroll1200]

Then why is A&M looking for reasons to fire him?

There expectations are higher than Arkansas

[grayhawg]

Sumlin is showing why he's one of the top 3 coaches in the SEC

Yeah actually #2 having the second hottest seat

If going 8-5 all the time with top 10 recruiting classes with threats of termination from your AD is top 3 coaching, then sure.

[Pudgepork]

Then why is A&M looking for reasons to fire him?

I started to ask the same question but then I thought of Richt and Miles

[Letsroll1200]

If going 8-5 all the time with top 10 recruiting classes with threats of termination from your AD is top 3 coaching, then sure.

He has a different QB almost every year but still win 8 games. I think he knows he has to win more than 8 games this season. That's why I think they're going to be tough to beat this season.

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Well no kidding, we haven't beaten him yet, have we?  Of course they'll be a very tough win for us no matter what the homers are spewing.  But that's nothing to do with him being top 3. 

[kodiakisland]

They were counting Raulerson to start at center before he was denied admission to there grad program

No they weren't.  They were expecting him to compete for the job.  Huge difference.

[hogcard1964]

7-5 will mean 9 or more in 2018 or else.  6-6 is the best I see.

He's right. If he wins 6 or 7 games again this season, there'll be another excuse to keep him around for one more year.

[Letsroll1200]

Well no kidding, we haven't beaten him yet, have we?  But that's nothing to do with him being top 3.

He's top 3 to me. To be able to change QB every year but still be competitive is hard in the SEC.

[ATU HOG]

Not going to disagree that Sumlin is in the middle to top tier of SEC coaches.  The SEC as a whole is down compared to years past in coaches.

Saban


Mullen

Sumlin is probably up there... just shows you the talent pool of SEC coaches is either unproven, or not very good. 

[hoglady]

UCLA has one of the top QB's in the country.
The A&M secondary has been outstanding.
A&M looks impressive tonight.

[cosmodrum]

6 years in a row

[Großer Kriegschwein]

UCLA has one of the top QB's in the country.

A&M looks impressive tonight.

That because their DL can handle the UCLA run game without much help

[010HogFan]

If he's a top QB in the country then college football is in a sad, sad state

[Pudgepork]

No need to fret. At least not until after the TCU game.  After that, fret away

[hoglady]

If he's a top QB in the country then college football is in a sad, sad state

If he comes out this year he will probably be the First QB taken and is projected to be a Top 5 pick.

[010HogFan]

He's another Jared Goff, nothing more nothing less

[snoblind]

Enough!!!

Didn't you get outed as a Bama fan?  Why would you care?

[Arkansas Fan]

He has a different QB almost every year but still win 8 games. I think he knows he has to win more than 8 games this season. That's why I think they're going to be tough to beat this season.

I think that's more to do with the talent he gets at the other positions, not at QB.

[King Kong]

No they weren't.  They were expecting him to compete for the job.  Huge difference.

No they were expecting him to be the guy.
