C'viewTiger 242 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 With the way Arky played bama, could they possibly upset MSST? I know UGA took them to the wood shed, but what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToraGirl 5,498 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Anything can honestly happen. That thought has indeed crossed my mind, too. Arky's not the same team we played... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jojo1515 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I wish. Technically it is possible, but Bielema has proven pretty bad at defending spread option teams and I expect MSU will do their usual and get a few lucky breaks early and be up by 21 in the first. If that happens, Arky cannot make the comeback. Only way it happens is if MSU has an off week and some bad luck. In that case, Arky is just good enough to make it interesting. Also, Arky will be going against a great run D with below average pass D. However, Arky has one of the worst qbs they've had in recent memory and are one dimensional running the ball. I expect MSUs D will hold more than not and Arkys D will fold more than not. Could be an ugly game for hog fans (but yes I still hold out hope for the miracle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,873 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I think Arky could absolutely beat State and I don't think it would be a fluke either. Now I woudn't put $$ on it or anything but I do think they have the tools to pull the upset and if they catch a break or two and get into what they wanna do, look out.

FootballFanatic 4 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Arkansas may get someone this year. Going winless in the SEC has to be astinger after 3 years of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,833 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Unfortunately for Arky, Miss State's run D is pretty stout, it's their pass D that is the weakness. And Arky can't pass at all. So they will need to play ball control and hope to move the chains on the ground and keep Dak on the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 We can always hope. Actually, Arky is playing better and MooState is about due to have one of those games where everything that has been working doesn't work. Every good team has at least one of those per season. The really good teams still find a way to win those games but the good teams struggle and sometimes can't overcome their deficiencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 We ran the ball on State. Arkansas can too. I mean, obviously, the upset is a long shot. This is a team that hasn't won a conference game in two years, but they're playing good ball. They were close against A&M (pre-collapse) and Bama. Even the UGA game showed they could score on people. They just gave up 31 points in the second quarter aided by some brutal turnovers (UGA scored on drives of 7 yards and 29 yards). State has to play a B game or worse, and Arkansas has to catch some breaks. That said, it could happen. Odds would be a lot higher if the game were somewhere other than Starkville.

cooltigger21 0 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 They are going to break through eventually I think. I don't like pulling for them because of Bert but it does serve our purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'viewTiger 242 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Maybe CBB takes a page from the OBC. Nothing to lose, throw the kitchen sink at them and see what happens. Yes, I may be reaching but it would be nice if this weekend was one of the two that we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80Tiger 904 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nope. Gets talked about every week and doesn't happen. No QB to speak of. Moo State wins by 17. I am beginning to think Arky is no better than last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I don't think this is the best match up for Arkansas. However, there is so much talent in the SEC West this year that I think any team could plausibly lose to any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,932 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 YES arky can win!!!!!!!!! Sure they can win against the Nichols St/TexTechj/NoIllinois/UAB's of the world, but they are 0-16 in SEC play and to think they are beating a #1 ranked and the only remaining undefeated SEC team in Starkville is crazy.

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 It's not the craziest, but yeah, it would be an incredible upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,033 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Arkansas can absolutely beat State. But for two plays (sure td fumbled through the back of endzone against bamr and a td nullified by a penalty against A&M) they would 6-2. And I'm not sold on State. Sure they beat Auburn but it took Auburn spotting them 21 points to do so. The rest of their victories are against bad teams (Southern Miss, A&M) or teams playing poorly at the time-LSU. The LSU that beat OM would also beat State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess by that logic, St is going to crush bama? I will be one of the happiest members on this board when that happens :)/> I know that we need MSST to lose 2 but I don't see OM beating MSST.

AUenginerd 16 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I'm not hopeful, but Arky "can" do it. We rushed for 232 on State even with taking away three of our own possessions (opening INT, 2nd drive opening play fumble, kick fumble by Louis). If not for those three lost drives, we would have rushed for well over 300 yards. Arky can run the ball, but State's D-line is legit. Arky would need to set the tone early and control the clock as well as catch a few breaks. Here's to hoping it happens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,777 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I don't think Arky will win, but I'll sure be pulling for 'em. I'll be hoping bammer beats State too. If the SEC championship means anything to an Auburn fan, we need to pull for whoever is playing State until they have two losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with ya, I just don't think they have enough to catch the 'winning fever' yet. The West is full of strong teams, someone has to be the doormat.
