Cocks are 3-2 with losses to KY by 10 and to A&M by 7. Nice win over NC State in first game. NC State has since won 4 in a row, including a win at Tallahassee over Fla St. Cocks had a 1 pt win over La Tech and a 18 pt win over horrible Missouri.

Take from that what you will. Probably does not mean much when Arkansas travels to Columbia.

SC is averaging 23 points per game and give up an average of 21 points per game. They are coming off the loss to A&M in College Station.

I contend Arkansas plays better on the road against reasonable competition than they do at home. This should be a low scoring and very close game with either team having a good chance of winning it in last few minutes. Result will likely be based on team with fewest turnovers.

It's a toss up but given that SC has a quality win and Arkansas does not, I am going with:

SC: 24

ARK: 21



I don't want you to agree with me because you're weak. I want you to agree with me because you know I'm right.

HoginMemphis' commentary is right on, I think. We've had some decent road wins over the years, so that's not out of the question. Neither team is great, so turnovers could be huge. We'll have one. But our D will need to somehow force one to equalize. Two would be better.

Just to be blindly optimistic, same score, just flipped. Hogs 24--Cocks 21.

Based on most of these predictions, I guess we're gonna suddenly start kicking field goals.

I have no idea what the score will be, but I am  confident the hogs will win.

theFlyingHog

32-13 SC.



Edit: that's a missed XP and not two FGs for arky

Hogs 28
SC 24

Hogs up 21-17 middle of the 4th. We Drive down and score a TD with 5 min left.  Then we let SC drive down and score aided by a horrible pass interference call on third down that always happens against us. SC onside kicks and recovers. With one minute left at midfield they throw a ball across the middle and Dre tips it and it is intercepted by Santos to seal the game.

I'm not sure what the score would be but I do know I'd like to see a more aggressive and relentless pressure defense with disguised blitzes so that we get to Bentley fast and often.

I think we will be very ready to play.  I think it's mostly a bad matchup for SC.  They aren't good running the ball, so I believe we will attack the QB more and that will allow for some bigger runs, but they won't kill us with the pass.  Us playing average defense against SC will be a win.  Defensively, I don't see much statistically that makes me think they'll be able to hold us down.  I suck at this, but my call is:
Hogs 35
Gamecocks 21


Potosihog

I really want to believe in this team.  Someone said "History is the best predictor of the future all things remaining equal."  So, though I think we should definitely have a chance to get the W, I will wait until I see it to believe it.
USCe-27
Hogs-17

Our father who art in Heaven, Razorbacks be thy name. For the games we've won and battles done, on the road as it is at home. Give us this day our weekly win and forgive us our turnovers as we defeat those that play against us. Lead us not into devastation, but deliver us a title. For thine is the program, the pride and the Hogs, Amen.

Flip the score and otherwise I think you're in the ballpark.  South Carolina is not the same team offensively that beat NC State.  Plus, Arkansas is not a good matchup for the Gamecocks.  They struggle to run and stop the run.  Bentley presents no big play threat with his feet, and Deebo Samuel was the big play threat at WR.  Big plays have been Arkansas's achilles heel.

Arkansas should be able to run the ball and control the clock.  They may win by 10 or so if they avoid turnovers and special teams mistakes.
Life is too short for grudges and feuds.

I like the matchup for the Hogs. I'm going with 35-27 Hogs.

Dropkick

26-24 Hogs, SC will miss a FG as time expires so the darksiders can take pleasure in saying we should have lost.

I just don't have much faith anymore haha.

I think we can win every game but AU and Bama but we'll find a way to lose a few of them I'm afraid.

The Hog offense looked better against A&M and NMSU.  The defense is still a work in progress.

Hilarious. Just for that, here's my prediction—
Razorbacks 15
Roosters 12 (didn't we lose to Texas from 5 field goals once?)

Seriously, I think we get into the 30s. So—
Razorbacks 34
Roosters 17

That should be grounds for being banned.  And as a guy who has been banned, I know a thing or two about banning.

phadedhawg

I do agree with the OP that Arkansas fares better in winnable games on the road than at home.  In Razorback Stadium I think the team feels all the anxiety of the fan base.  I mean at this point, we are all on the edge of our seats waiting for disaster in every game.  On the road, I think the "us vs them" allows the team to come together better.

That being said, I don't feel confident we will win this game.  Our defense is too much of a liability to expect a victory.  I like our chances but imagine we come up short.

South Carolina 28
Arkansas 21

I predict that many 'fans' here will be mad if we win OR we lose.

If it was a night game, I'd give SC the edge. Since it's a day game, I'll give the Hogs the edge. Real scientific over here.

We get up early on them 14-0, 17-7 at half, 20- 10 end third and hold them off at the end...27-17.  Maybe a surprise special teams TD too!

Kelley, Williams, and Jackson triple options makes the difference.

LOL, was thinking the same thing.
28-24 Hogs

jgphillips3

I have no idea.  I'm going to call it 24-21.  If I had to pick, i'll Say SC wins because they are at home.  However, we can win.  It's probably 50/50.

Bret usually loses games like this.  Cocks 28 Hogs 20 (missed XP)
11/19/2023:  Keeping my original semi-prophetic, apocalyptic signature below.  We continue to regret passing on Norvell, who is in the running for the Playoffs.  We continue regret passing on Kiffin, who is eyeing a New Years 6 game.  Heck, we regret passing on Drinkwitz (he may be a dork, but he will have his team in a New Years 6 game after they truck us on Black Friday).

Meanwhile, Sam is drinking Pittman, wondering if he has the leverage to re-hire Enos, Sexton is doing the triple Lindy into his Olympic-size pool full of cash, and thousands of hog fans are planning to dress up as empty seats for next year's Halloween game.

11/25/2018:  My original "Chad Morris" signature is below.  I'm modifying my view as follows:  We will continue to regret passing on Norvell and Kiffin.   After 3 years, when Morris is 10-26, we are going to be saying "What were we thinking?  Even Bert was better than this!"

If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.
