Arkansas VS LSU is set to kickoff at 6PM on ESPN saturday the 19th, what are some things to look for and keys to the game? Lets start here, since 2000 Arkansas is just sub of .500 in games coming off the bye week. LSU is about to.700 against teams coming off their bye week. Theres a thing to lookout for. As of now, ESPN predictor has this set at about a 50/50 matchup in favor of LSU with no over/under currently. My prediction is LSU will be a 1.5 point-3 Point favorite come kickoff. I have the Hogs covering either way. This is a game I can see going to overtime under the lights. By the Stats: Qb- LSU, with Nuss having a 10td advantage and 150 yd advantage on geeen RB-Arkansas, They are a run first team, even af the qb position with both qb and RB in top 10 in rushing. LSU does seem to have found their RB1 Though. WR- Arkansas, giving them the slight advantage because of Armstrong and size of the core. LSU has a more balanced WR group and utilizes their TE’s tho which is something Arkansas has fell short on thus far O-Line- LSU. Although Arkansas had a decent showing vs a salty Tennessee defense, it was the first good performance of the season. LSU has had their struggles as well but their chemistry is there. Secondary- Arkansas. Hogs have been well improved under T-Will, Only allowing 1-3 Big plays a game in the second level. They have been a no fly zone thus far this season. LB’s- 50/50. With a healthy Harold perkins, this is a clear LSU favor, but he’s out for season. Why is it a toss up? while the hogs LB core is strong, it’s undisciplined. The few big plays Arkansas has had were broke free from the second level on missed tackles. The LB core also has committed more personal fouls than any other group on the team. D Line- LSU. Even with landon jackson, cam ball, eric gregory… Outside of this Tenner game, they have been awful about causing pressure on the qb’s. One thing Arkansas cant do against LSU is allow Nuss to have time to throw and let plays develop. If T-Will has a gameplan for the Tigers with some of these blitz packages they threw at tenner though… LSU could be in trouble. For the time being though, LSU has the more consistent D-Line.

TLDR: My best pick is Todd Monken. Good coach, good experience. Why you may ask? (tap and read) He Led Georgias offense in 2 straight title winning seasons, currently OC of the Baltimore Ravens. Can run pistol and spread option offense (best fit outside of pro offense with current personnel. Makes a specialized playbook for his qb to lead and succeed.) Finally, wont take a huge pay raise to get him to come down and lead his own team. Has national championship experience, nfl experience, and has worked under a 2x superbowl coach and a 2x National championship coach. Whether it’s this week or next, the Razorbacks need a new coach. I love pittman’s character and morals but not as a head coach. More as a cool grandpa. Who should be the next coach of the hogs? It needs to be someone who can put Arkansas back in relevancy. At least back to that scary team who may not win the SEC, but can compete with any team in the nation and be a dark horse every few years. IMO we have the donors, the bball program just snagged the biggest name in college hoops. Why cant the football program make a same move? Heres my list of candidates and my reasons why. Big time hires (people who cost big bucks, probably out of reach but who knows): John Gruden, Mike Norvell, Kliff Kingsbury, bill belicheck. Solid Hires (good money and good results): Todd monken, butch jones, urban meyer. What the university will probably consider: Bobby Petrino, Gus Malzhan, Joey Halzle, Barry Luney.

The 17 year old who graduated HS early is indisputably the BEST player in CFB currently. His awareness and iq is insane. He’s WR1 for the best team in the country. Dude is faster than every other player on the field. Did I mention he’s 17 yet?

Outside of the obvious catch and touchdown, there was no indisputable evidence to say it wasn’t Rant.Listen, it’s 2024. Why are we still relying on human judgment to make game deciding decisions when the technology we have is incredible. Games and calls like this always bring up the questions for me about rules and reviews. The UFL has laser and camera technology for ball placement and it went great. Everyone was happy. Why cant the NFL and CFB adapt this? Because it takes away from the unpredictable-ness that heavily favors the betting books? Why can we not challenge penalties or challenge the lack of one? You know how many obvious holding calls, PI calls, and or personal fouls are never called. Sometimes even called wrong. Proof is on camera, cant do anything about it. In the case of game enders like this, you cant tell me that hundreds of angled camera around the field are out of the NCAA’s budget… This game also brings to light the ability to rig sports. (call me a conspiracy theorist idc.) If you rule a TD, you don’t search for a way to overturn the call for 5 FUCKING MINUTES unless you realllyyyyy want the other team to win. Rant over.

Catch or Nah? Miami vs VT.
