Ark vs Mizzo

[31to6]

Georgia destroyed them at Missouri without Gurley.

I said on here that we would beat Ole Miss by three scores and some folks said I was crazy.  I think Mizzou gets a FG right before halftime.

24-3 HOGS

If we can run, it will be bad for them. They had no answer for Indiana. Yes, I said that.

But it is MUCH easier for Georgia to plug in yet another blue chip RB (who ran all over US too, if you recall) than it will be for us to move the ball against them with a backup QB.

Mizzou usually has good rushing defense. (Averaging giving up 109 yards per game in conference play.) Their entire defense is a "stop the run first" defense with aggressive line and secondary play. They will be able to stack the box on 1st down and will show a ton of different looks to confuse AA on passing downs. So, are we going to reprise Indiana/Georgia (both ran for 200+) or are we going to look more like the rest of the teams they played?

Our recipe for a win:

1) Rush for 150 yards. We need this to be a 110 snap game. The way Mizzou flings the ball, they will eventually score if we give them 70+ snaps.
2) Contain and disrupt Maty Mauk.
3) Hold serve on special teams. Mizzou is dangerous in KR/PR. But their FG kicker is not much of a weapon. We have zero weapons on ST. Uneventful Special Teams on both sides is a win for us.
4) +2 turnovers.
5) slow their running game.

[Capt. Hamm]

44-10, Hogs!

[Cresthog]

Not going to be as easy of a game that everyone thinks.

Amazing how the last 2 years haven't taught Hog fans to be a little cautious.

Optimism is fine, but chill the F out on the cockiness.

[rljjr]

Hoping for inclement weather, but supposed to be 55 and sunny with a 10-20 MPH Southerly wind. WPS!

[Prairie Bayou]

Just shut up and show me!

You know guys, this dude is right.  The number one team from the SEC East is playing our lowly last place Hogs in the SEC West.  This game should be like an FCS cupcake contest for the Kitty Cats. 

However, if your Kittens were to lose to us lowly Razorbacks, I think you would admit that you, the University, the State, and heck even Gary Pinkel's mom, would be just totally embarrassed and mortified.  Because the SEC East is better than the West this year, right?  Wonder what the Kittens could've done with our schedule.  You'd be watching bowl games at home, much less have a shot at Atlanta.

I said when the Hogs shutout LSU they realized that they can win in the SEC. That makes them a very dangerous team.

28-3 Hogs

IMHO Mizzou will have serious problems with this Hog Defense.

[GuvHog]

17-13 Mizzou

They have a lot to play for and hogs really don't.  That combined with a short week with a new QB and trying to come back down after a couple of high emotional weeks will be too much this week.  Hope I'm wrong. 

Disagree. In the SEC, finishing the regular season at 6-6 would put the Hogs in a precarious position in that depending on what happens in other games, they could get left out of the Bowl picture. Finishing 7-5 guarantees them a bowl game and most likely a middle tier SEC tie-in Bowl. The Hogs do indeed have a lot to play for.

[HogScoutMaster]

24-17 - I really REALLY hope we CURB STOMP them, I wanna go to the Liberty Bowl

[reddogjcss]

Odds has dead even. -0 +0

[Jamie Jones]

Going to be a long day for Mauk. He has inconsistent WR and Hogs shut the running game down. Whichever Allen brother plays only has to hand the ball to AC and JWill and manage to throw the ball to HH and AJD. I originally said 24-3 but upon further review, I'll say 41-0 as CBB gets his first road SEC victory in as fine of style as he got the first SEC win of his short career at Arkansas.

We will find out, and our DEs are primed and ready!

That's the plan.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Tired of hearing the smack talk from them daggum yankees in MO. Had to listen to that crap for 6 years living in Mtn. Home, stupid show-me state license plates and they all sound like they're from Chicago. This is the one I really hope we throttle.

30-6 Arkansas.

[Hawgzinbowlz]

The earholes are big enough for Mauk to see which Hog it was.

I'd agree with you if it were earlier in the season, but not at this point. We had some inexperience on the Oline for IU due to injuries and Mauk wasn't playing smart. We've adjusted our scheme, Mauk has been coachable and playing better in the pocket, and our Oline is currently a strength.

[Razorback de Nosferatu]

Tiger fans will talk about how much they've improved since that Georgia-sparked implosion in Columbia.  But it's hard to tell.

Since that game, they've played

6-4 Florida
3-8 Vanderbilt
5-6 Kentucky
7-4 Texas A&M
and
5-6 Tennessee.

Maybe Missouri has figured some things out, and thus truly improved.  Likely, they have indeed improved, and they've also played the closest thing the SEC can offer to a truly pathetic schedule.  Mizzou can talk about how highly ranked their defense is, but who have they played, save perhaps Texas A&M, that is formidable on the offensive side of the ball?  Florida has struggled to throw a forward pass and Vandy is downright inept. Tennessee's offensive numbers this year ain't blowing anybody away (their rushing offense is ranked #103) and Kentucky's offense ranks in the seventies.  Before the Georgia game they played a decent South Carolina offense.  There's that.

And Mizzou's offense?  They're ranked #106 in passing yards and #65 overall, despite playing an FCS school and defenses that rank #75, #89, #106, #95, #108, and #94.  That is over half their schedule. And one of the few decent defenses they played blanked them.  The other, Florida, held them to 119 total yards. 

Arkansas blanked a top ten team and a top twenty team.  Save 1.5 quarters @Auburn and that awful second quarter against Georgia, Arkansas has looked good all year long, DESPITE a much tougher schedule.

All that said, I'm nervous about this game.  Missouri has a lot to play for, they're an SEC school, and despite the schedule and the numbers... they've won.  You can't ask for more than that.  Arkansas should NOT take these dudes for granted. And they won't.

Arkansas pulls a performance out of the hat that will harken back to Lubbock.

[srwhogs1]

17-7 HOGS win

[rusvegashog]

I'm sure it's a bunch of places, but I don't know where, can someone tell me what the status and injuries are/were on BA, AJD and HH. Thanks in advance.

[snortyann]

Missouri v. Tenn showed the Tigers to be strong on D. ESPN has them ranked #5 in sacks. Their D is not like any other teams we've played. They ran a four man front, ran stunts and didn't show blitze or load the box against the Vols. Their LBs are very speedy. Their offense played sloppy at times with team penalties at 12 near the end of the game but they made big plays late in the game to put it away. Their QB is the son of a football coach, a nimble runner, makes good decisions, puts good touch on throws and is accurate with long passes. I'm not an expert but I think our D will likely be credited more for winning this one.

You misunderstand. I am not saying we will do all of those things.

I am saying that we need to do all of those things to win.

Do you disagree that running the ball, shortening the game, creating turnovers, disrupting the QB and stopping the run are not a good recipe to win on the road in the SEC against a team with a stout defense and a dangerous offense?

Mauk has been more steady recently. But his passing has still been pretty pedestrian and that is against some pretty bad defenses. (Vandy, Kentucky and A&M are three of the 4 worst defenses in the conference and TN is merely average.)

[Kevin]

Their win at a&m is impressive

[Theroyalpain]

Hutson Mason was 22-28 for 156 passing.  Lots of dinks and dunks.  Nick Chub ran for 143 yards, but it took 38 carries.  He had a whopping 3.8 yard per carry average.   

Maty Mauk was missing two of his starting receivers in Darius White and Bud Sasser.  He threw 4 picks, with a depleted wr core.  Mizzou on defense was missing Markus Golden, who when healthy might be slightly better then Shane Ray.

Georgia had the ball for 43 minutes compared to Mizzou's 17.

The final score was 34-0, but hardly the but whopping most claim.  Just average QB from Mauk, the game is a lot closer because the defense wore down late 3rd early 4th.

Missouri was victim to a bogus 4th down incompletion pass interference on Indiana's game winning drive.  The game was over, but Indiana was given new life.  Indiana is now playing with a 3rd string QB, so to judge them then and now isn't fair.

With that said, Mizzou 24 Ark 21

[reddogjcss]

I don't exspect any cake walk. Just smash mouth football! Ark wins!

[LZH]

I watched Georgia jail-rape Mizzou earlier in the year.  And I never, ever expected to beat LSU/Ole Miss by a combined 47-0.

If we keep our heads on straight, we win by two, maybe three TD's.

[reddogjcss]

Hey Thero hearing any talk of Pinkel going to Florida? most likely just rumors!

Lol, college Footballs most overrated coach..Good Luck, you should be targeting Art Briles out of that Big Texass conference

[chuggs33]

In my opinion, the Hogs should win this one.  Mizzou, to me, didn't look impressive at all against Tenn.  And if they are penalized against the Hogs as much as they were against Tenn, it could get ugly really quick.

Go Hogs!

[Pudgepork]

this tigger team is dangerous because people have predicted losses for them and they find a way to win.  I think they play up to the level of the team they are playing.  That does usually bite a team when their enthusiasm is down.   Its easy to see how they' be very overconfident going into the Indiana game.   Georgia just flat out muscled them and made them like it.

If the Hogs team that played the 2nd quarter of the Hogs/UGA game shows up, this whole game will be a tale of ineptitude.

If the Hog team that has played the first 3 quarters of pretty much every other game of the year shows up, the tiggers will leave de-clawed and likely castrated

I know you are prepared for your melt down, because you have had plenty of practice over the last two seasons.

Georgia 34-0 and Indi----wait for it---Ana

[tigerinhogtown]

I don't want you to die, I just want you to cease living on this board...

I'm not giving a score just going to say this has a feel, to me, that we can run on them north and south like we did Texas Tech.

TT is giving up an ave of 260 yds/game.  You really think MIZZOU is that bad?

You mean the same Bob Stoops who owns an 8-1 record vs. Missouri since he arrived at Oklahoma? Apparently not overrated when it comes to you guys.

Not taking up for Stoops, just pointing out that you are just here to troll and incite arguments. You might want to be careful if you want to stick around through Friday.

[MuskogeeHogFan]

Let's Go Missouri, whump the Razorbacks!.

Wrong board.

[rusvegashog]

Boy win a couple games and we go from the dumbest to the most arrogant fan base. Should be a good game. Mizzou is going for their second straight division title and we're going for our third straight win. Whether folks want to admit it or not Mizzou is one of the best most stable programs out there right now. Fandom's one thing and common sense is another. That makes a win that much sweeter. Now their bball teams a different story.

Now there bball teams a different story.

Not saying that we are a definite win, but I think that we stand a very good chance IF we play (as a team) the way we have the last two games.

Mizzou has played inconsistently from the beginning of the year. They look good, they look not so good. You never know which team shows up to play regardless of the chips on the table. As an example, Mizzou wouldn't be in the position they are right now, needing to win this game to win the SEC East, if they had taken care of business against Georgia earlier in the year. Instead, they got their arses handed to them. Beyond that game, they haven't really played anyone of merit.

We got our arse handed to us by Georgia as well, but most of that was due to one second quarter breakdown. After that game, we improved and against significantly better and ranked teams than what Missouri has.

That doesn't mean that they won't step it up against us with the SEC East and an SECCG on the line, but as good and dangerous as Missouri might be, if we play our game, they won't win. Turn the ball over a lot and not gain turnovers, not have a good 3rd down % and not have a good RZ % and all bets are off.

I expect a close game that is decided in the last half of the 4th quarter and I hope that we win.
