Why Auburn should be worried about Arkansas.

[LR54]

Series of articles from an Auburn perspective.

What is concerning is that Auburn's offensive coaches must game plan for a new defensive system. Even worse, they can't really plan for it.

The Razorbacks are confident they can run the ball against the Tigers because they did it last year.

http://flywareagle.com/2014/08/01/5-reasons-auburn-worried-arkansas-part-3/

When the final gun sounded, Auburn had 366 total yards (145 below their final average), and Arkansas had 346. The Tigers ran for 233 yards (their third lowest total of the regular season) and the Hogs rushed for 222. Arkansas had 25 first downs while Auburn had just 18.

Sorry, I missed that post this morning. Still on my second cup.

The game was 28-3 and the subs started rotating in for Auburn game in last year. Auburn only had the ball 9 mins in the 1st half. Arkansas was playing keep away by running play clock down to 1 every play.They really werent trying just like against tennesee they ran same play over and over.Arkansas was never in the game.

The defense gets back starters Jeff Whitaker and Justin Garrett and Josh Hosley that missed good chunk of the season. Offense gets back Jaylon Denson who went out vs LSU. LSU game since Arkansas uses that for a moral victory was in a monsoon, Marshall didnt know the playbook , the following week they installed the zone read, then we saw what happened.They played Marshall who didnt know the playbook with only 2 weeks of practice prior to the season. Malzhan who loves tricks plays didnt run but  like 2 or 3 all year. This year's passing game will resemble Newton's year.  Those bombs on triple fake reverses vs South Carolina in the SEC Title game that year, The Rocker step that daggered  Alabama. Then their the McCalebb muddle huddle play, fake statue of liberty, OT  playing  WR  play, TE Throwback pass etc. Auburn got to title game on a playbook of maybe 10 plays,scary.

The  defense will be the defense of old they switched scheme's last year they had to adjust. Their two best defensive players missed the entire year. Lawson loss doesnt really hurt Daniel was No 3 de in the class behind him. We have no 1 juco de coming in at 293 lbs. They could both get beat out by freshman Andrew Williams.

Auburn's o-line has the depht to rotate in and out and the players are cross trained like Avery Young will play LG,RG,RT. Their are 4 5 star recruits on that line plus the nations best center and left guard. They gonna use depht to wear Arkansas out. If Shon Coleman didnt get cancer Greg Robinson would of been the back up.

Tre Mason doesnt hurt Payne and Grant combined for 1200 plus yards and Mason said he wasnt best back on team, Peyton Barber was. The WR's are insane Coates,Williams,Louis,Bray,Ray,Davis,Stevens,Walker,Uzomah,Fulse.  You can't stack the box with 2 wr's that run sub 4.3 forty's at 6'3  215.

Arkansas has 2 great running backs and their o-line strong to the right side with Cook and Denver ?. They have a great starting d-line but depht falls way off. The back 7 is sub par and its gonna take a few more draft classes. Arkansas lacks a qb and a legit reciever after the te Hunter Henry.

Auburn should be running the rhino package on defense vs Arkansas cuz of their size at o-line (they will use it against LSU,Georgia,Alabama has well)

LE Gabe Wright 284 lbs
DT Angelo Blackson 306 lbs or Ben Bradley 303 lbs
NT Jeff Whitaker 322 lbs
RE Montravius Adams 306 lbs
Standing LB Elijah Daniels 263 lbs or Davonte Lambert 293 lbs

Only game I think Auburn gets challenged in is Ole Miss ,Kansas St maybe their reciever is legit beast mode. Alabama sucks versuss spread offenses. Georgia's team gutted on defense one transfered to Auburn. Auburn doesnt start slow under Malzhan read that somewhere 5-0 in 2009 till a loaded Arkansas, 14-0 in 2010, the early loss to Clemson in 2011. 3-0 in 2013 then won 9 straight till FSU.

Nothing necessarily wrong with it, but the homer is strong with that one.
Alabama "sucks versus spread teams?"
Haha

Every team in the country, and especially in the SEC can list players and just assume that those players are all world-beaters. Doesn't make it true. Arkansas will challenge Auburn mightily in this game.

My young Padawan, I feel the War Eagle in you.  Although your tigers or eagles or whatever your team mascot officially is, one thing is for sure, Alabama is not scared of Auburn and I suspect a little different outcome this year.  Auburn has been our whipping boy in the past, so don't get all high and mighty on us just yet.  We maybe down at the moment, but I wouldn't hang my feathers or fur on that for to long, even though your post was a decent post and no flaming by you, I suspect the Hogs will be harder to take down this year than last year, JMO.  Here's your 1st +1 for a decent post without the usual Auburn trolls we get on here flaming away.

P.S, Try a different name though, you can come up with something that associates you with your team better than the fresh prince can't you?

[HyperDrive]

That seems to be the trend lately. Their last 3 losses have been to spread teams.

Indeed.  This past season, Alabama averaged giving up 6.7 points per game to the non spread/HUNH teams they played.  They averaged giving up 30.25 ppg to the 4 teams that do run such offenses and that included a shutout of Ole Miss who really wasn't on the same level with A&M, Auburn and Oklahoma.  Those three averaged 40.3 ppg against Bama.

[poloprince]

Auburn threw 9 passes last season and the game was never in question for them.  Enough said.

You are going to be very surprised how much the loss of Tre Mason hurts.

[HyperDrive]

Mason was a great back.  But Auburn's running game is not going to see significant drop off in production.  We may run for less yards because we'll likely not run it 71% of the time like we did last season, but the runs we make will be plenty effective.

Mason brought something that I haven't seen out of a Run Spread team, a Back that is small and Quick but with the power to break tackles on almost every play.

Auburn will have to change the run plays they call to fit the other player skills. Making it easier to prepare for. They didn't have to do that with Mason.

It's the same reason McCalebb's stats got worse the more carries he got.

Cameron Artis-Payne has a similar skill set.  We won't have to change any plays to deal with him as the back vs Mason.  And he and Corey Grant aren't the only two options.  Peyton Barber and Roc Thomas will bring dimensions to the running game this year that even Mason and CAP don't possess.

Point is, don't hang your hat on Mason's departure putting any noticeable dent in Auburn's running game or overall offensive production.  This offense will be better this year, not worse.

3. The Razorbacks Could Have Won Last Year

When the final gun sounded, Auburn had 366 total yards (145 below their final average), and Arkansas had 346. The Tigers ran for 233 yards (their third lowest total of the regular season) and the Hogs rushed for 222. Arkansas had 25 first downs while Auburn had just 18.

[RazorChuck]

Please, please, baby Jesus, let us beat the evil doers, known as the Wartigers, amen.
Tre Mason - 5'8" 207 lbs.
Cameron Artis-Payne - 5'11" 210 lbs.
Peyton Barber - 5'11" 225 lbs.
Corey Grant - 5'11" 203 lbs.
Roc Thomas - 5'11" 198 lbs.

These were last year's measurables. Grant and Thomas are all as quick or quicker than Tre Mason. Corey Grant is 2 tenths faster.

Please list your next uninformed prayer.

So why did Mason get the majority of carries? (Hint because he was better than those guys)

We had a guy named Broderick Green 6'1" 230. That didn't mean he could actually break tackles. The game is played on the field not by measureables

[NoNC4Tubs]

Yay. Another auburn troll.

It only took one post..........

[brian.griffin.hogfan]

only way I see the Auburn should be worried about the Hogs is the "overlook" factor. Perhaps they view us like say scheduling Troy or UAPB or something. Otherwise, I don't see it.

[RyeHogFan]

Arkansas has 2 great running backs and their o-line strong to the right side with Cook and Denver ?. They have a great starting d-line but depht falls way off. The back 7 is sub par and its gonna take a few more draft classes. Arkansas lacks a qb and a legit reciever after the te Hunter Henry.

Draft classes, huh? I mean, I knew that you guys were paying players, but I didn't know you actually considered it drafting them just because they're on salary.

[HyperDrive]

This is just a small taste of why we aren't all that worried about losing Mason, as great as he was:

start that Rhino package against the speed of our RB'S and better WR's and you'll soon be reminded of Fred Talley year. Your trying to compare last years team. This is a bigger , faster , stronger , deeper team. And if you'll check the numbers the game was closer than you think . you just got some early breaks .

[tophawg19]

That seems to be the trend lately. Their last 3 losses have been to spread teams.

yeah what maybe 3 losses in 3 years or so and y'all got a miracle to win. you will get hammered this year .
