I'm gonna go ahead and say that one of the major keys to this game is going to be scoring more points. It's often over looked but very important for success.
Refs are screwing us.
False start. Arkansas. Five yard penalty. Repeat third down.
We won't win another game.

You're right. With the trend toward General Managers, we only need a Vice Chancellor for Athletics to oversee them. That narcissist would refer to himself as Athletic Director anyway because he likes how it sounds.

TOUCHDOWN!!!
Pretty clean against not...much
running practice plays. green actually looking at different receivers.
First drive was good. No incomplete passes. No dropped balls. No penalties. Running backs ran hard. Offensive line run and pass blocked well. Good play calling. Nice start.
An opening drive with no penalties
Notice that Green actually hid the ball a la Mallet. Wonder if Bobby showed him that.
It is real nice not having the odd te reverse down near the goal line play. We don't have a child calling plays and this offense kind of looks refined with a totally revamped WR crew. Initial thoughts is this looks more like a Petrino offense.
We goin to the playoffs.

Defense can't seem to tackle anything, and they have receivers wide open every play.

We're holding their run offense to nothing!

They are tackling well. Unfortunately A&M receivers catch and run for 10 yards before we attempt the tackle.
Secondary looks shitty
Defense is what I thought it was. Terrible DL and secondary.
Defense looks like hammered dogshit.
1st and 15, before the snap our CB backs 15 yards off his WR, that WR takes the pass for 14 yards.
Jesus. The corner drops back and plays 15 yards off the receiver.
Looks like we're carrying on the recent tradition of allowing all big plays.
if #23 doesn't want to cover someone, sit his ass.
98 yard fumble return right here
This is bad
They just pushed our shit in
Goddamn, Dix needs to go to the locker room and sit down to pee after that.
That was easy...
Well, the defense is in midseason form.
It's time for the way too early panic.
Well, I think we can safely say T-Will truly sucks as a D-Coordinator.
Where's the mother fucker that said we'd have a good DL

Defense didn't improve in talent or scheme. Welcome back, college football.
We're going to have to outscore teams to win games. Defense won't stop anyone, I don't like our odds of doing that every week.
embarrassing
How the fuck do you ask your defense to only rush 3 or 4 and then have your backs play 10 yards off the receivers?
Fire Willy...uh...Travis!!!
Our D yielded. Yuck.

Not only can't cover, but get knocked off the ball up front

Any team with a pulse on offense will go through our defense like shit through a goose.
We have scored every possession....
So have they.
Impressive (but we shouldn't be kicking 52 yd field goals on our 2nd drive against Alabama A&M)
Not gonna judge just yet. Lets give the D another chance.

If we lose this (zero point zero chance it happens), we can't afford not to just pay the buyout and fire Sam. Problem is we'll name anyone other than Bobby Motherfucking Petrino as the interim HC.

Refs and reviewers are not astute enough to realize it.
Like every year, we either have a pretty good offense and zero defense or a pretty good defense and zero offense. Guess this year, offense>defense. Why can't we ever have both of them pretty good at the same time?
The Ref will review and say, "The runner extended the ball over the first down line ." The crowd will go wild. The ref will then say, "However, the runner also fumbled prior to hitting the ground and A&M made a clear recovery. First down A&M."
I will say this...their D is hitting our O harder than our D hits them.

We're like Vince Vaughn's character in Rudy.
That errant throw to Omega would have 100% been a TD, classic Bobby right there. Other than that one, Green has been pretty solid in his throwing. Better decisions too, recognized the defensive misstep and took advantage. Remains to be seen if Green continues like this or starts reverting like normal once he gets a bit flustered. That pressure is sure to come given how our D is playing.
Did T-Will teach anything in the off season? Missed assignments have nothing to do with talent.
It's important to note that we had very little game tape to prepare for this bunch (allegedly). It's not that we spent absolutely zero time preparing for this team. We really do respect them.
Our defense is going to be a horror show this year.

It's both. There's a reason why our scheme has our DBs a mile off the receiver. Unfortunately, it also means that they can get easy big yards.

I dont knock anyone's southern accent as long as it's real. There are lots of regional differences. I'm a Texan that grew up in Arkansas and Memphis. I'm fucking linguistic roadkill. When I moved to California they were going to hire an interpreter for me. Actually they couldnt figure out my euphemisms. "Well ain't that the monkey fucking the skunk!"

We don't seem to be tackling well.
They're getting a lot of second chance yards and shedding off the initial tackler quite a bit. Lots of arm tackles.

Vintage BP second half drive.
I sure hope that's Taylen's last series.
Can't believe the media team hasn't started the heisman campaign talk for Green.
If our OL can give Green time in SEC games, we will be dangerous on offense. Our defense is another question.
Good to see the Dane catch a tuddy.
that's nine different guys with a catch.
Quote from: Thin Red Swine on Aug 30, 2025, 05:39 PMWhy the hell is Green still out there running keepers and getting smacked around?
Hasn't Bobby always liked to keep the #1 QB out late in game one to get good game reps with the receivers before the real season starts? I seem to remember that, but I could be wrong.
Bama A&M has the backup QB in. No excuse to leave Green in the next series.
Started out shaky but at least eventually dialed in and took care of business. If our defense can piss a drop this year, we may be ok

I doubt our offense works this well in SEC play. Something tells me between the faster/better DBs and our typical OL, we won't see big production like this.
That's two passes that a good defender picks off.

This team looks like a lesser version of Louisville with Lamar. Gets a lot of yards, struggles in the red zone, no defense, loses a lot of shootouts.
We'll beat Ark State and probably vs Memphis. After that? Miss St is about all I'm anything close to confident in

As a long time hog fan, I'm not comfortable with anything on our schedule... But I'm afraid you're right about the Louisville comment.

Just from a quick box score review, you don't like the first drive by them, but in the most important defensive stat, the "can you get off the fucking field" stat, AL A&M was 1/12 on 3rd down and no 4th down attempts. So I like that.
I liked what saw from the QB and the WR's. The Oline didn't look very physical and the RB's were kind of hit and miss. It remains to seen how effective the offense will be against a SEC defense.
The defense looks like a Marvel project, no plot, mediocre cast and lack of direction. At least we have a kicker.

Try an Asian pear if you can find them. It's one of the secrets to Asian marinades like Kalbi (galbi).
Not much to take away from a game like this.
Looks like we have some receivers who can catch. Blake is probably going to be the one Green zeros in on.
We might have a kicker.
Green looks like the exact same player he was last year, good and bad. Mechanics and release look no different.
Offensive line seems to be better.
Defense will have us clutching our buttholes all year.
For the first time in the Sam Pittman era we have more wins than Alabama!

We beat a rent a win as we are supposed to. That doesn't mean we are going to be 9-3. The sky fell in 2012 with spurts of promise in 2014, 2015, and 2021, which we end up over payjng for coaches like GVN and Bert to be mediocre at best after they go through the previous coach's recruits to say we are back.

Pretty much the same for me. They did get more pressure against our Oline than I expected. WRs were the group of the day for me. Only drop was a tough catch from CJ. They ran well after the catch.

Never said 3-9. 4-8 is the worst 5-7 is the ceiling in my opinion and I didn't have ASU beating us. Didn't know Memphis was that bad, but Auburn looks more like a loss after last night.

The WR's looked like the quick twitch and quick cutting type that Petrino prefers. My question is if the Oline will hold up against the pass rush of better teams.
One thing that sticks out in that box score is I'm seeing a lot of solo tackles and not a lot of assists. That screams a lack of gang tackling and guys not coming to the football and/or that fucking out of position. Of course this wasn't exactly a team we got up for and still only gave up 7 points against a 7th year QB.
Also I seriously doubt our defense was doing anything exotic...we were comfortable just getting out of there with the win and nobody got hurt.
Still pass rush was very meh, line backers were so bad out of position it made me question if they were even playing in the game. Our DBs were laying off bigly which is usually an indicator of not wanting to give up the big play (against a fucking HBCU?)
After seeing the WRs for both my teams, there must be a shit ton available in the portal each year.
Alabama-A&M looked really big on O-line, and I'll say they dominated the LOS the first two times they had the ball. They also got tired pretty quickly and that showed later in the game. #13 that big-ass TE is wasted potential. In a bigtime program he could be an NFL prospect. He might be retarded, though.
Not a lot of surprises in this game.
As expected, Bama Aggie went man and used run blitzes to stop the Hogs' ground game and Petrino made them pay through the air. TG is seeing the field much better and seems to have at least four targets that he is comfortable with so we shouldn't see the "Armstrong or scramble" attitude from last year. He is still pretty casual about ball security though. I think our O line is improved over last year and will continue to get better as they gel. What little I saw of Washington was encouraging; he appears to have that slash and cut ability that Alex Collins had.
On the other hand, our D line is paper thin and will hurt us throughout the season, particularly as the inevitable injury bug shows up. Backers are average but certainly not elite. Not sure about the secondary; they are big and appear to be better tacklers than last year's group but I'm having trouble understanding the "mental errors" that allowed receivers to stroll around unmolested downfield like they were part of a roadside litter crew.
Special teams look...well, special. Hill and Shanks are exciting returners and Bale is a reliable weapon. Kickers are always a wildcard but Starzyk may be the real deal. Ngo should be made co-captain with Bale.
As for the rest of the season, (barring injury) I think BMFP with a new-and-improved Green and a good receiving and running back corps will give us a puncher's chance of staying in most games.
Unfortunately, our Big 12 defense will mean that most games will end up being shootouts.
We're not as bad as the opening defensive series looked, but we're not as good as 52-7 looks.
Astate gave up 24 points to SEMO, so scoring on them won't be a issue. It will definitely be closer than anyone wants it to be. I still stand by my statement that I wouldn't be surprised if they win, not because they're good or not because we're (that) bad, but they've been wanting this game for a really long time. Fortunately for us they have Butch Jones on the sideline, and fortunately for them we have Sam Pittman. Truly a battle of minds.
zero turnovers and three penalties. that's not terrible for an opener regardless who you're playing.

Not sure it showed up on the stat sheet but we had a lot of missed tackles, far too many to give me any level of comfort, and we allowed a ton of second chance yards that SEC ball carriers will make us pay for.

Once the Great Shittening is complete, and college ball just devolves into hired guns working as marketing employees of a school, that TE is playing at genuine Bama. Unless he's retarded. Though that probably won't matter either if he can ball.
they had 69 yards rushing, went 1-12 on 3rd down. we tackled well enough. their qb started 5-5 and finished 1-10.
we no doubt looked confused on d for the first drive and a half but dominated them like we should have after that.

Worse than that it wasn't like we were over pursuing trying knock everyone's dick in the dirt...we just didn't have anybody in position to make plays a lot of the time and when we did we were arm tackling (or lack thereof). This defense yesterday did not look good or even remotely talented at all.
I think we can probably chalk some of it up to being too vanilla, some of it up to "they were so little/quick", some of it up to it being a new staff and not much prep tape on them, some of it on first game jitters etc. But we didn't piss excellence on defense all that much at all..it was just really meh.
A PPV channel of the offensive coaches in the booth while we were on defense would have been hilarious.
Almost forgot: they did not play the gay-ass HDN speech about "only one Razorback" at the game. Jon Williams did say that at one point along with a bunch of other dumb shit.
I'm not as annoyed by what he says as how incredibly fucking loud they have those mics tuned. On top of that, he and the pretty black Olympian girl scream at the tops of their lungs into them. It is earsplitting. I wore my Walker Razors to a couple games last year to avoid the hearing (and brain) damage.

DJs have no place at college events because schools have bands. Sadly, the those in charge want to mirror the pro leagues instead of embracing the elements that make the college atmosphere unique, I.e. BWA. Besides when they are looking to reduce expenses from the budget the DJ should be the first to go instead of a low wage employee.

We have to have a modicum of order. Bigpig will post that at the appropriate time.

No. This time we need to start the "there's no chance in hell we lose this game" energy early.
Finally watched WarMachine's highlights. Receivers still have to stop for the ball, but at least he's finding the open receivers... and we have a lot better receiver group than last year. Washington at RB is probably at least equal to whoever we had last year.
Can't judge the defense since there weren't a lot of highlights on that side. The KO guy returning his own kickoff was pretty cool.

Just start the thread. You scared? 😂
I think it's relatively close. 44-24.

Quote from: animal on Aug 31, 2025, 02:31 PMMaybe with Doctor Nutt, supreme chancellor of ball knowing and emeritus head coach we shall have events that exclude loud DJs piping in noise and instead rely on good old fashioned yokel oral traditions and yelling...mostly yelling. And all rich old white guys will be dressed like the colonel.
Dr Hootie, as you recall, enjoys leading the band. World's worst band led by the worst AD. Will his bleeding brain stem brother will need a gig. And hd3 will lead the diversity effort by being the feature majorette baton twerler
What's with all the students wearing Burger King crowns?

We have the worst AD in the world. So BK apparently pays some fee per game and our student section is always shown on TV wearing Burger king crowns. It has gone on for years now. It's cheap, dumb shit, like most of the rest of our gameday production.
I figured it was a metaphor.

Let me get this straight.
The fan base bitches about lack of NIL and the general bringing in of money to pay for better facilities and players.
Our fan base also bitches about the bringing in of money which can help pay for better facilities and players.
And the AD is the worst under both scenarios? That about sum it up in hur?

I heard Ronald McDonald was gonna pay better but we got a 3 year gurantee with The King provided we keep the Pepsi away from our players feet.

No, our fans bitch about our shitty football coach who is here because Yurachek negotiates contracts about as well as an eight year old girl. Aforementioned shitty football coach prevents lot of NIL money coming in because people have no faith in him. Or do you really think the fanbase and donors who put together some of the best facilities in the SEC prior to the big TV contracts can't afford to contribute to NIL?
I don't think we should do anything and everything for a little cash. Do you think it helps the Arkansas Razorbacks brand to show our student section wearing fucking Burger King hats at every single home game across several sports? Is there anything at all "cool" about that? It's very, very fucking stupid looking on TV.
We have an AD who bitches and whines about NIL at every opportunity he's given. Rather than criticize it for two years, maybe he should have embraced it.
Shit like that tells me nobody in charge has any idea how to build a brand, which is what (along with NIL cash) you are ultimately selling to future recruits.
I honestly thought that the Burger King hats had to do with this guy:

Sam will be wearing one of those fucking crowns if Yuri tells him too. He can tell Sam it gives him some gravitas.
We shall see how the O-Line comes along. I think Green looked better than last year to some extent. The receivers, we shall see how they do against SEC talent, but with Petrino, I feel like there will be dudes running open, just need to
1. Give the QB time to find them
2. Have a QB that can find them
3. Have a QB that can make something happen if 1/2 don't happen
We shall see. I doubt we showed too much in that first game.
The defense looked about as bad as possible on the first drive and looked like they should the rest of the way.
OL looked pretty good against a nobody and in the past we would struggle with anyone. There were a couple mishaps like Carmona getting his feet tangled and ended up getting a holding.
The sacks were mostly a combination of missed pickups from the RBs and dude holding the ball too long which he's done in the past and will continue to do so.
WRs looked really small outside of Blake and The 30 yo baseball player. But they looked like they had a lot more quickness. Blake looks like a decent SEC caliber wide out... the Brown boys may be serviceable.
I think this group is not as close to being NFL ballers like last year's group but could still prove very effective in this offense if the QB can get them the rock.
Te...meh

I'm telling you, that 30 year old baseball player needs more playing time. He's solid.

I think so too, but I don't get paid to think. Like the announcers said...he looks like he could be the best TE on the team.
