It's probably time Arkansas take a page out of ATM's book of paying players. We're hot garbage at the moment.

Coach Pittman needs to remove media access to the players. They need to focus on football. Players need to shut up, and put a decent product on the field consistently before they get back to speaking with the media. The players are not playing like a team. They are playing like individuals. Reminds me of the Chad Morris era. Pathetic.

Miss State is the better team. They beat us physically, and mentally. Arkansas is playing like hot garbage. Pi$$ poor fundamentals for the Hogs. Very disappointing season. I'm going to the BYU game next week. I'm not looking forward to it. If the team doesn't come out and play a complete game, we gonna get man-handled again. I will say this, STOP letting the players interview with the media. That needs to be earned. They don't deserved to talk about the game until they deliver an honorable performance.

You are spot on.

You have a valid perspective, Sir.

Very well put, Walrus. All our Hogs have to do is play sound football to stay competitive. This is a true test of what kind of culture we have in that locker room.

A good team on paper... y'all won the game by a lucky one in a thousand scoop, lateral, score. You're delusional. Jimbo will be giving you the good ole' ATM for years to come.

Still, AR is no Cam Newton. You're dreaming until proven correct by AR's resume someday... someday that may never come.

I'm rooting for Tennessee to run the table in the East! WPS!

The Arkansas vs ATM game doesn't show ATM is a good team.... it shows how bad and sloppy play will lose you games. I hope the Arkansas coaching staff puts this one in the archives to show the Arkansas teams of the future. You couldn't draw up a better example of losing a rivalry game due to sloppy tackling and sloppy decision making. With KJ Jefferson being a Captain, I hope he took the time in the locker room to apologize to his team. That one superman flop changed the game. At this point, Arkansas has the pieces in place for a good season. They have flashes of a top 10 team, but have yet to put it together. We'll see if they can improve upon last year or if their record gets worse this year. Either way, so long as we don't go back to the Chad Morris era, I'll continue to wear my Arkansas gear in Colorado. WPS!!! -Best Mexican Skier from the South.

This is not on the kicker. There was lots of poor tackling on defense. The first ATM touchdown was the fault of Barry with a bad man to man look in the red zone. I saw that score coming when they lined up. Also, KJ should not have gone superman on that play. Horrible decision. As a team leader, he owes his team a private apology, and moving forward he needs to start making smart plays. Arkansas will not self destruct, but the way this went down, we may go on a losing skid and lose 3-4 in a row. That's very possible if they don't clean up the poor tackling, poor decision making, and poor secondary coverage. At this point of their season progression, I'll be happy with 6 or 7 wins in the regular season.

KJ just needs to learn from this and grow as a team player. No need to be a hero when you're up by 14. Woooo Pig Sooooie!

KJ Jefferson gave the game away to ATM. The better team did not win. Congratulations to ATM for capitalizing, but they are not a good team. We were the better team, but played sloppy.

^This. ATM can pull out a win with their young talent, but the reliability of them delivering is lower due to their lack of maturity as players. App state was a perfect example. Like I said before though, if this game was the last of the season (more playing time for the young team), I think ATM could possibly make a big statement and whoop the Hogs. They'd be better able to exploit our secondary woes. Their O-line would be better gel'd. ATM will be a tougher team later in the year for sure.

Vegas has us as underdogs, and I prefer that. I'm sure the Boss Hog prefers that too. Wooo Pig Soooie!

"Good analysis. I’m wondering why even bother playing the game, in that case…." Because upsets can happen. Arkansas is not the underdog when you look at their resume and experience of their personnel. Can ATM win? Absolutely. It's college ball. Crazier things have happened on Saturday. Wooo Pig Soooie!

"Whoever wins in the trenches wins this game." I like our O-Line over ATM. I like our D-Line + backers over ATM's O-Line.

It's possible. If Johnson keep hearing footsteps in his noggin, he might start making our secondary look good by making costly throws that end up in our hands.

Not necessarily true. It could have been that Alabama over-looked ATM after watching ATM lose 2 in a row. That's a more likely explanation IMO.

Agreed. Has there ever been a double digit win team so reliant on freshman playing time? Maybe, but if there was, they would be the statistical outlier.

"We have played like 10 of the freshman already “Next to zero impact” is a patently false statement." How do you explain App State? App State barely beat Troy 32-28 on a hail mary the next week. The impact is this.

With so many freshman starters, ATM will lose the game due to lack of chemistry and game experience at this level. If this game was the last game of the season, the outcome may be different, and ATM may win with our struggling secondary. But, it's only week 4. The ATM freshman will be eating humble pie all 60 minutes. What they did in high school does not translate to the SEC this early. Heck, there are many flops in star rating every year. Very few 4-5 star talent athletes ever make freshman impacts. Jimbo knows this. And I think the reason he is playing them so early is to prep them for years to come. He's plotting his push for a National title for the FUTURE (He's thinking down the line). This strategy will hurt the team's win column this year though. This game will be an L for ATM. Arkansas has the QB advantage. Arkansas has the O-line advantage. Arkansas has the pass rush advantage. Arkansas has the linebacker advantage. Arkansas has the wideouts advantage. Arkansas has the runningback advantage. Arkansas has the tight end advantage. Finally, Arkansas has the overall experience and chemistry advantage. That was on display with our comeback win vs Missouri State. No panic. 100% cohesiveness. That prevented the upset. That's something ATM was not able to to vs App State. Our disadvantages to ATM are our secondary, special teams, and penalties. Final score: Arkansas 44 - ATM 38

I'm also predicting Matt Landers (WR) to go off in this game. He will be part of a 1-2 punch with Jayden Haselwood (slot Receiver). Haselwood will soften the A&M defense with over the middle intermediate receptions (converting several key 3rd downs). Landers will take advantage of that and rip a couple of big plays. The run game will complement these two receivers, obviously. The run game will also give us time of possession leading to the A&M Defense folding in the 4th. And in the 4th quarter, there will be several moments/situations where the game appears on the line. I trust the Razorback culture and leadership to make those moments fall in our favor. WPS!

I’m picking Arkansas to win. We have both a run game and a passing game, and we can lean either way depending on the situation. That adaptability in the game to run or pass will give us the win in a high scoring event. Arkansas pass defense will struggle. That will lead to overconfidence in Max Johnson, and he will throw an untimely pick due to constant pressure + getting a little greedy. Final score: 44 – 38 Arkansas WIN

Dude. We need to worry about our program's performance first and foremost. You need to stop worrying about what Leach does or says. If you don't, well than "[tx_hogfan] will continue to be an embarrassment to the university [of Arkansas] and to the league."

BS dude. I've been traveling in my 5th wheel full time 6 years now. I don't need facepalm to stay in touch with family. You'd be surprised how much an actual phone call can accomplish. Just admit that you don't want to give it up, because of social pressure to follow.
