Time to move on to the next game. This week it's UAB @ Arkansas. Coming off a loss to UGA will Arkansas still be on a bummer from the loss or looking for a bounce back win. Either way I hope our guys bring thier A game and not get any injuries.
I know some of you are gonna say it's a meaningless game, but each game meams a win towards a bowl and recognition.
With thay said, saw this site that runs simulations and had us at 36.6% chance of winning. Hey, at least there's a chance. http://www.whatifsports.com/beyondthebox...1410250074
Hope to hear good things from Iron Citu Saturday.
Go Blazers!
If we play fast, loose, and SMART we are perfectly capable of pulling an upset here.
We have absolutely nothing to lose. In that sense we need to just show up to have fun. Pitch some long balls. Get a little goofy with the play calling. Throw to open the run. Take what they are giving, but in inventive ways...
There shouldn't be a tense muscle in our bodies going into this game that no one expects us to win.
Arkansas's pass game has not been great in the past. If we can stop the run, then we have a chance of pulling an upset. This of course is assuming our O Line can protect the quarterback better.
Do we lack depth at this part of the team? I read something about these guys were playing all game for the most part.

Why yes, yes we do. Shelton, Crumitie, and Brown didnt make it. Brown could have started as a freshman. Our second string features a walk on, former DE/TE, a redshirt FR., and two JuCo's. We also have a redshirt FR, two true FR, and a massive juco who hasn't played.
Arkansas' line is over 300 all the way across. Might be a long day stopping the run.
They have not won an SEC game since Bielema took over at HC. I imagine his seat is starting to get a little warm, and they'll be looking for a whipping boy. With a little luck they'll underestimate us... but with that Misstake film to show them, I wouldn't count on that.
Screw it. Play loose. We're not supposed to win anyhow, so let it all hang out.

Yeah, no depth at all. Kelepi is probably the only guy that is ready fill in for someone. There's a couple guys on the 2nd string that will be fine in the future, but not right now. Need a good OL recruiting class, only lose O'leary (which is the most important guy on the Oline right now) this year, but next year we lose everyone except Salako.

Statement Game! UAB 37 - UA 29. The rumor's of Bill Clark to Florida will be heating up. We might have to break the bank to keep CBC in the Magic City and out of Gainesville.

Bill Clark will not be rumored to Florida. Dan Mullen has that job in his back pocket.
