“They didn’t do anything we didn’t think they would”, Alexander said of Arkansas.

“I don’t even know how many yards Fournette wound up with at the end, but I knew we’d tackle well”, Bielema said. If they believe that, I’ve got a few “Swamp” land in Gainesville I’d like to tell them about. We started the game throwing the football. (Hey, if you made it through the last five years of miserable football, what’s one more?) But a win against USC on Friday could have changed the entire narrative around the program, and Colorado was in position to do it.
Quick word of wisdom: Am I reading that correctly?
Arkansas fared far better on their second possession. Things could get very interesting over the next couple of weeks. There’s also a slight aroma of blowout seeping crawling around the Plains. We have to be better, and that’s me.
“I don’t even know how many (Leonard) Fournette ended up with in the end”, said Arkansas Head Coach Bret Bielema on his team’s defensive performance.
“I practiced hard this week”, Wise said. The defense is an entirely new unit with him on the field. They wanted this game….
And now with the benefit of hindsight, we can see that LSU’s 7-0 record heading into the Alabama game this year should have given more scrutiny. The Tide won key games and caught key breaks. “There’s too much to play for over these final three weeks of the regular season”. The x-factor for the team is Brandon Harris who simply did not do enough against the Tide. Careful with these Gators. Arkansas has LSU, Mississippi State, and Missouri left on their schedule.
Mississippi State opened as a 3.5 point underdog in this game. All three of those loses came at the hands of Arkansas. “But I saw red on the outside blocking, so I just stiff armed one guy and bounced it to the outside”, Reed said.
A nice bowl game is only one of the rewards now available to Arkansas.
Negative-3: The Arkansas run defense held LSU, the league’s top rushing offense to negative-3 yards rushing in the first half of Saturday’s win.
The LSU Tigers will look to put their loss to Alabama behind them when they host the Arkansas Razorbacks tonight at 7:15PM ET.
“People were telling us we couldn’t get any pressure, telling us our D-line is pretty much last in the country”, Wise said. Fournette now has a touchdown in 11 straight games. If the quarterback play can improve, the Tigers will easily avoid the letdown against Arkansas.
That the air is out of the Leonard Fournette balloon and Arkansas wants a do-over. Seeing the score without watching this one will not the game justice.
Reed drew the glory on the that final score more than anyone.
Vanderbilt and Kentucky also have a shot at getting to six wins. Don’t laugh at this score.
Down there, a tailgate isn’t just a tailgate, and a running back isn’t just a running back. Each day, I have to keep getting better on and off the field no matter what it is.
The Tigers lost back-to-back games by double digits for the first time since 1999.
The Razorbacks came out looking like the same team that shut out LSU a year ago. Ole Miss is coming off a bitter, heartbreaking overtime loss to Arkansas and a bye week. The running back picks it up and runs for a first down. That’s me. It’s not the players.
An Arkansas win would pull them ahead of LSU in the SEC West, with the head-to-head victory occurring in that very moment.
This has fallen into place so nicely for Alabama just as it did in 2011 and 2012 when it reached the BCS title game with a loss and wound up back-to-back national champions. Good luck figuring that tiebreaker out. Mizzou still has a home game against Tennessee and a trip to Arkansas remaining.
Quick word of wisdom: There will be a ton of conversation surrounding the football team and none of it will be about this game.

The Razorbacks are one of the hottest teams in the nation right now. The players were upset, along with black student groups, over what they deemed Wolfe’s indifference to racial tensions at the school.
