Man, I love the SEC.

Of course, we saw her last year, and she was kind enough to grace the nation with her presence again this year.

She’s just doing her duty and getting those faxes off the fax machine people.

Click here for live updates on Alabama’s LOI’s today.

What do you think?

Let me give it to you straight: Arkansas is one-dimensional on offense. That’s it. Were you expecting something more? Sure, Ryan Mallett is a stud quarterback and everyone in the country would love to have him, but the problem is Arkansas has NO running game to complement the potent passing attack.

When you rank 98th in the country in rush offense and you have three backs about as fast as DJ Fluker running in puddin’, you are not exactly fleet of foot. The only reason Arkansas is ranked 98th is because they played cupcakes before they played Georgia to pack a few stats on before conference play. You saw what they did against a Georgia defense that let freshman Marcus Lattimore run all over them. The Razorbacks got a mere 53 yards rushing. Stifling!

All the talk about Alabama’s young secondary is the hope that Arkansas fans are relying on – an extremely talented secondary might I add. True, the Tide’s defense has not faced a passing offense like Arkansas’ – however, with no backs that can deliver a punch to a one-dimensional offense, it won’t matter.

Look for Alabama to run the football and run it a little bit more on a defense that is, for the lack of a better word, pathetic. Arkansas will try and drop in a few screens and draws to help loosen an Alabama defense, but to no avail. Alabama will run the football with the two best backs in America, Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, on offense and play a coverage defense that will take away the big play; therefore, eliminating a huge momentum swing.

Mallett will undoubtedly get his, but at the end of the day, he’ll also get his first L of the season.

Roll Tide 35 Hogs 21

Florida: I am not worried about an offense whose biggest challenge to date is snapping the ball.  That’s like trying to teach my son to hit a curve ball before he can hold a bat.  Gotta walk before you can crawl Gators.

Georgia: You just gave up 180+ yards to a true freshman, who had 37 carries.  Now imagine what Richardson and Ingram will do to you with 20 carries each.  To win in the SEC, you must be able to run the ball and stop the run.  You can’t do either.

Arkansas: Your defense was one of the worst in the SEC last year.  Your high power offense won’t get much opportunity to put up big points while we run the ball and kill the clock.  Mallett has yet to see a defense like ours.  Just wait.

LSU: As long as Jordan Jefferson is your quarterback, you have no contention in the SEC.  You defense had trouble stopping a UNC team that was without 13 players, most of whom were starters.

South Carolina: You may think you have a run game, but wait until you go against our defense.  Offensively, we will show you what a real run game looks like.

Auburn: Auburn, Oh, Auburn.  Off to another impressive start I see.  Wish we could play you win you were undefeated instead of at the end of the season when you will be 7-5.  We shut down Tim Tebow in Atlanta last year, so we are not the slightest concerned with Cam “puter” Newton.

Rest: Well, your not worth writing about.
