War Memorial Stadium
ESPNU
I still don't know who our quarterback is.
Your game commentary is welcome.
I'll be there
And when it's over I'll scroll through this thread and read the insanely wild overreactions (in one direction or another).
it's been so long.
petrino says he still adheres to the 'pass to score, run to win' philosophy.
i hope to see a lot of braylen russell in the 2nd half.
Someone posted this on X. Is this true? Is that time allotted to the Trustees to be recognized?

I await all the positivity and the first position coach we demand to be fired.
UAPB band >>>>> UA band
I would be embarrassed if our bamd played.
Is there going to be an ArkGuy Haiku thred?
I've been coerced into going to the game. Can't wait. Throwing the A, wolf howls in the Hog call. If we're lucky, may see the wave before halftime.
Found the quarterback. Recognize a couple other names.

I agree, but unreasonable optimism generally looks different for us than normal teams.
Holy fuck we're not ready to play. Go head and send Sam to Hot Springs!
So we're going to win. We all know that.
But what are you all looking for in this game specifically?
I was at the dump last year for the opener and, looking back, I remember Chunk Sanders couldn't get 3 yards a carry. Now was it Chunk that sucked? Yes. But even Chunk should've gotten yards against an FCS team.
So I'm looking at can we blow them off (lol) the ball on short yardage?

In no particular order:
1. Minimal penalties, especially after a timeout
2. Special teams play worth a shit
3. An old-school BMFP ass chewing(s)
I used to get very exited for the start of our season, this year I'm "whatever". I don't think I can even name more than 3 players on the team. Even Bobby being back hasn't moved the needle much for me. Winning tonight won't either.The Okie St game will tell me if I need to invest emotionally or not. We don't even have to win it, just look decent, be competitive, show some improvement. I'm not asking for miracles.
We won't win another game all year.
we better see our new qb able hit those midlevel crossing patterns.

The year under Morris when Storey came in and played well late sticks out in that regard. Many were ready to throw in the towel in the first half. That switched to Ty Storey being the next Peyton Manning in the 4th. The inital gut reaction turned out to be right.
I also remember playing Rice in the opener a couple years ago and having to cone back late to win. That led to a 9 win season.
And then Storey came back a year later to save us from the darkness. We need to memorialize him in the athletic complex.

For us it's going to be a game of "Not about them it's about us". We want to look/play clean and organized at all phases. Likely we won't show anything in super duper detail. The defense will probably stay pretty base. The offense will likely run the ball a lot...mixed in with some hallmark Petrino plays to get the crowd convinced.
We won't learn a lot about this team unless we
learn a lot about this team in the negative.

We're looking to catch a good buzz.
Ready to cheer again. But on tape delay.
Got my $4.87 Red Baron Brick Oven Pizza in the stove and ready to get this shit show started.
Is there a game ahead of us...even if it's a shitty high school basketball game on replay from last year they'll show it in it's entirety before switching over. ESPN FUCKING HATES ARKANSAS!!!!

Hence, the early WMS issues.

Maybe I missed it but ESPN U hasn't said anything about our game despite it being the pregame show. lol.
Saracen should have prop bet the hell out of this game on their app:
1. Clock malfunction in first quarter
2. Is the piss smell going to be caused by broken toilets or natural causes.
Etc.
Crowd shot. Oooof....

Did you learn to pray in Arabic? If so this would be the perfect time.
uapb assessed a 15 yard penalty at the start of each half for not wearing contrasting colors. going with all black.
i'm leaving that one alone.
I'm glad the woopussy is still around so I can bitch and moan with you assholes.
Thanks to those that keep the lights on.
Is it too late to have ESPN switch this to plus?
Never seen WMS that empty.
No students?
Mallett is making that 6 points.
Shit. Hell of an opening call.
Play 2 is a fumble out of bounds. Glad we're not playing a good team to start the year.
Can't hear the announcers.
Like trying to take the top off... don't like the throw. Definitely don't like the lack of ball security.
Why do we keep letting people wear #5?
It's overdue to be retired.
Never seen Bobby wearing shades
We can't do anything else good, might as well make Green run.
I like the mix of plays.

This right here.
That UAPB defense is baby shit soft. If we had a QB that could throw we would have scored long before now, probably got the ball back and scored again.
Revising season prediction, 10-2
Signature Bobby P play calls... I love seeing that open over the middle stuff again. Green needs to get his arm and timing right, though.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Aug 29, 2024, 06:33 PMNever seen WMS that empty.
Salt Bowl tomorrow may have bigger attendance
If UAPB had a defense that TD run would have been stopped. Still, the play calls are solid so far. That is definitely a refreshing change from the last... well... god knows how long.
Maybe I am wrong, but Green looks small to me...and I mean thin. He may not make it through the season.
Timing off. Jitters.
Converted a 3rd and short running the ball.
Team looks like they're coached this year unlike last year. No penalties or pre snap confusion.
Green is much faster than KJ.
How hard is the wind blowing in LR? I'm in HS and it is howling here. Wondering if that might have affected that first play.
maybe first game jitters for green. i'm sure he's getting some 'encouragement' from petrino.
and yeah, the attendance is embarrassing.

Looks like UAPB has an Aussie punter.
Xavian Sorey is fast boys. He's a big time LB.
Defense did exactly what you'd expect them to do.
No complaints so far except my wife doesn't have the spaghetti ready.

It's painful to listen to.
is holding your phone backwards something all the cool kids are doing?
It appears the late arriving crowd must be caught in traffic.
That aerial view is rough to look at.
Really questioning Green's arm / timing. It just doesn't seem to be there.
I like Jackson.
Shit is there 30k there? I kinda wonder
I don't think Green is that thin. We are just so damned used to seeing KJ.
I am happy to see some under center even if it was just a pitch.
We didn't need to see that TD I guess
Ahh yes just like Mallett used to do
Quote from: Barton Fink on Aug 29, 2024, 06:47 PMHopefully that got shitcanned.

Was wondering if the screen went blank for anyone else. Guess the time clock isn't the only thing screwed up.
QB can move. Not yet sure he throws so well but he can run.
Nice mix of run/throws. OL look much better. I'm not sure we pulled all of last year.
No offside penalties-- two series in a row. I like that.
I'm as negative as anyone.
But we have upgraded at QB.
We look well-coached.
UAPB is not in our league.
Well Taylen Green is an athlete.
Dubinion looks like there's no spot for him this year. We big time upgraded at running back.
Russell is a way better 0 than AJ Green.
Quote from: Barton Fink on Aug 29, 2024, 06:55 PMNice mix of run/throws. OL look much better. I'm not sure we pulled all of last year.
I just told my wife the same thing. We are running some blocking schemes. I know it's UAPB but the o-line looks light years ahead of last year.
Lots of red around the ball. Wrapping up as well.
No worries about our running game. Green needs to settle in. Hard to tell how good we might be because... UAPB is bad.
yeah, sorey is really fast.

Dude certainly has a nose for the ball and can finish when he gets there.
I simply cannot believe it that we're having technical difficulties with a telecast coming from WMS.
Quote from: Snorts on Aug 29, 2024, 06:57 PMUAPB is not in our league.
This is why we shouldn't play this game, despite what the elf says. Don't think it helps us in any way.
Wow that fat Mizzou kicker portaled to Pine Bluff to punt?
Nice push by Oline for the TD
My former insurance agent used to punt for uapb. Cool story
Ah, shit. We have the gaudy wrestling belt for good plays.
Can we simulate the rest of the game using one of these bad boys?
(https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/gGgAAOSwBMFhlwVq/s-l1200.jpg)
Jackson scores a TD, and then tries to score a cheerleader.
Who are we? No penalties so far.
oline moving their feet a lot better.
and the ex backup holder did a nice job on that extra point.

Petrino should be in his ass for dropping the ball at the end zone like that.
a teaching moment for sategna.
Looks like he was half a yard in. Still a dumbass.
Jayden Johnson can't leave fast enough. He should've picked off that TD pass that was called back and then blocked in the back for no reason.
Quote from: buff2.0 on Aug 29, 2024, 07:11 PMHave these officials ever officiated a game?

Our passing game sucks ass.
Is there another Tayler Green that plays QB, and any chance that we grabbed the wrong one on accident?
Green is missing these easy throws... maybe he slid back to his old mechanics? Bobby needs to be "motherfuckering" him when they get back to the sidelines.
green's throwing motion is too low. something petrino talked about.
Green isn't the best passer
When does Anthony graduate 9th grade?
If he'd take off that motorcycle helmet, he could throw better.

He has been. Said in his presser that Green had improved a lot, but seemed to sometimes revert to old habits. I'm assuming that is what is happening out there today.
At this point tell the defense to back off up front and let the secondary work
Lets see this punter line drive one to 6 again

Helps that UAPB's D and secondary are dog shit. However, the routes are MUCH improved. The play calling is rock solid. So that definitely helps.
That was a really nice drive.

3 great throws there
RICK B!
Good pass we are done now
Bobby you glorious bastard.
Now THAT was first rate.
petrino has run that play for years.
Was I seeing things or should have thrown to other receiver (I think 7) on the previous play? Looked like he had no defender around.
Good to see some much better throwing motion out of Green on this drive.
Best drive of the night, Green looked much better

With 2 Tds.
I love seeing that particular play fake that Mallett and Wilson were both so good at selling.
Green is sort of "flicking" it now, which seems to be some sort of trigger for him to remember to go overhand with it.
In BMFP I still trust.

I've watched Razorback football for 50 years and and can count on 1 hand the QBs we've had that can make that TD throw. Hell and that across the hash throw too.
I'm not going to make pronouncements until I see him next week.

No doubt! Bobby wouldn't have wanted this guy if he didn't have the ability. It's all about his head, he slips into old bad habits with his mechanics. Good to see him settle, but we're also playing UAPB. Hope he can keep his head and mechanics up against a real team.

They were great throws. We won't know what happens how things look when he's getting pressure from real defensive players is all I'm saying. This is damn near a passing skeleton right now.
Another thing to add in his defense is Armstrong is head and shoulders the best WR on the team and he's been banged up. We're a different team with him in there.
petrino wanted a timeout with 1:53 left in the half, up 42.
Biggest positive of the night:
There is no evidence that Sam Pittman is doing any coaching at all.
Two minute drill opportunity here.
I was right... On the one throw all the way across the field to the stick, 7 was wide open and had all kinds of grass in front. Probably should have gone there.

First play after I posted that he took a look down the middle before he went to WR 2. That run was more fun.

All things considered a pretty good start.
7 for 7 is as good as it gets. The D had a couple of lapses.
We looked prepared.
Green in the first half
16/23 - 229 2tds
6 for 88 and 2tds on the ground
444 yard in the half. no negative plays.

I can see why Green has been compared to Matt Jones. Gonna have to quit throwing behind his receivers on those throws over the middle though.

Apparently, it ended up on the cutting room floor.
If that receiver had managed to reel that pass in, it probably was a TD. Pretty good play and route by UAPB.
Singleton looks really sharp.
Wow.
Singleton is making quick decisions.
Amazing what a competent OC can do.
We couldn't go 8 for 8 against air when Mr. Left Lane was here.

Weak assed call.
What a bullshit flag. Total flop.
Did we just injure their kicker and then make him go back out to do it again? It's 56-0 and these refs are cocksuckers.
UAPB coach burning TOs like Nutt. Black Nutt

the scrubs did not break the td streak.
I'm liking what I'm seeing from Singleton. A little bit of slop, but he's definitely got the goods thus far. He'll be pushing Green in practice.
I see Gums blocking has really not improved
No turnovers or ultra big plays, and we've dropped 63 on them. Pretty solid performance.
Sam may need his hip replaced before the end of the season.
He's looking uncomfortable.
Why are we still playing, Hey Jude? BMFP needs to shut that down.
That rushing stat is both terrifying and pretty cool.
Now let's just preserve the shutout.
I was there one night long ago when we beat Pacific U 63-0 at WMS. I think in the Hatfield days.
Feeling good about my 10-2 prediction.
Like I said. Don't let LR get bored. Damn. Some MF stole the team bus.
https://x.com/lrhn_cash/status/1829208941248819646
Let's not start sucking each others dicks just yet. It's UAPB but, you see the Petrino influence on the offense. There is talent, let's see what we do next weekend. We could hang a 100 on these guys.
I hope the defense isn't still running the first string, because they look bad.
I wish the Beatles or whoever owns their library would send the fucking shittiest band on earth a fucking cease and desist notice to forbid the school from playing Hey Jude, or any of their songs. Frankly the governor should ban this marching turdshow from playing any song other than the fight song. They suck at the Alma mater which is a shitty tune. And that Dream On song needs to be just made illegal.
This was a very satisfying win. Only negative will be when we get the ball back we may run out of time before we score another TD.
I see some differences that I like. Bobby's offense. But it is hard to tell where we are. We are basically running drills. Look forward to next week's contest.
I'm a man, I'm 40 will be a much bigger test for the D.

Sweep the fucking leg Bobby!
Going for 10 for 10
Feels good to see a BMFP offense with BMFP attitude out there up 63-0, running back ups, still slinging it and keeping feet on the gas. Oh how I've missed this attitude and style!
Krosse Johnson makes it 14 different receivers to catch at least one pass.
10 for 10. Sam looks mad.
Yeah, this is fucking beautiful.

Well PB's been one helluva slump buster tonight. Sam finally looks happy...gonna go have a beer after a hard fought game of strategy.
So, we made all the yardage available to us. Not sure Ive ever seen that before.

Incredible. What a welcome home, I'm back MOTHERFUCKERS! statement by Petrino that was. I maybe wish it wasnt against an in-state sister school, but tonight it wouldn't have mattered. Once there was a chance at the perfect offensive game, any idea of the Victory formation was gone. Down it at the 5 there at the end and we're 9/10. Great management by Coach Pitt to let BMFP do what he does, knowing that 10/10 would be some insane school record.
Great job by Coach Pittman for letting Bob do Bob.
Just watched the highlights. In a time zone where the game came on at 2:30a.
As some of y'all said I couldn't tell much of anything except UAPB couldn't tackle even our little guys. But 10 TDs in 10 drives is still good "against air."
The announcer was very annoying. 4 different times in a 4:32 highlight package he said "and that was Green's best throw of the night." Maybe they were, maybe they weren't, but do you have to keep using that?

You're right. We didn't learn anything about the players, coaching, play calling, effort, etc.
It was an all around pointless game.
Since when do the stats reflect a QB's yardage average, per attempt and not per completion? That's not right, is it?

There was a wreck on the Balls-n-Hooters tunnel.
I just finished watching the game and you can definitely see the BMFP influence on our QBs. All three looked really good.
Got home an hour ago. Enjoyed reading the thread.
Easily the best game we've played in years. Doesn't matter that it was maybe the worst team we've played in years. We've had bad games against bad teams before.
This was a nearly perfect game against a bad team.
I'll take that every time.
Welcome home, Bobby.
Even if it was just UAPB, it was nice to see how well coached a Petrino offense is. DLine looked pretty solid. It's just great to have football back.
I don't think anyone knows how good we are or how good of a year we'll have.
Let's just enjoy this one.
No matter how bad the opponent is, a team can still have self inflicted miscues and implode.
We didn't do that, we executed very well in a first game (for once).
10 possessions and not one turnover, drive-killing penalty, or (afair) delay-of-game.
No T/O to gather the team a la Hootie.
The D got a shutout. Realistically, what more could we ask for? We looked as good as we could have considering the opponent.
We looked well coached, offensive line looked a whole lot better than last season. They were tripping over their feet last season against rent-a-wins so this was a marked improvement though mostly different guys playing.
10 on defense looks like a badass. Defensive backs may be an issue...not entirely sure what we have there. Defensive line was noticeably bigger and faster than UAPB but that's to be expected. Can they push around OK State? Nope but they look good enough to get their licks in.
Offense had zero pressure on those QBs so of course they are going to throw well. Green doesn't make as quick of decisions with the ball but maybe he settles into this offense once he see's it working in live conditions. "eye discipline" or whatever they call it. He's got to trust the football do what it do. Green certainly has that Matt Jones look other than you know...he's O0
82 looked like Anquan Boldin out there...probably the same age too.
Russell is gonna be a bowling ball...Reed probably won't play much but that kid is like a fun size version of Russell. A little spit fire. I thought Hill ran a lot "bigger" and tougher than his size. It was nice seeing our RBs fighting for yardage and running thru tackles. The only one that didn't do that is Dubinion who is known for going down upon contact.

In the last few years, going back to Chad years, the offense would have struggled to find themselves. We've always said "First game jitters!" Or "we're just running vanilla offense"

Singleton did look really good, I will give you that.
We learned that our QB room is much improved. I get that UAPB is terrible and way outmanned, but look at the throws and mechanics. There were really only a few misreads and/or bad attempts throughout the game. Regardless of opponent, that is solid.
We learned that BMFP is running his offense, his way. That is also very good.
We looked coached out there, how long has it been since we could claim that in an opener??
I get that it was a way outmanned and outgunned team we played (they were softer than 10-ply), but no self inflicted wounds, 10 for 10 on possessions for TDs, solid route running, good passing, good blocking, rock solid play calling, no WTF moments (other than Sategna damned near dropping the ball before breaking the plain on that punt return), etc. Now, I'm certain we'll see some breakdown and mistakes and such against a real opponent. That being said, we overall looked coached and serviceable out there. It has been a long while since that happened.
So yes, we learned some things. Mostly that we have a QB room, the BMFP offense is back, routes looked good, Jackson has some shake to him, and I'll say it again... we looked coached.
Even by War Memorial standards, that was a miserable experience. Quit fucking playing games there.

Stupid fuckers had traffic routed one way in the concourse. Lines a mile long.
gave up zero sacks. no snaps in the dirt. only one negative yardage play.
the 2nd and 3rd team defense kept the shutout. some of those guys might not see the field again this season.
and the old guy at wr may be more than just a cool story for the announcers.
We didn't learn what exactly our head coach's role in the program is. OL looked competent.
They are hoping to get fired soon so they can collect their payout and list the NWA house same day.
This was a perfect game for what it was supposed to be. The 1's played flawless in the first half, 2's and 3's played great and showed they were way better than UAPB instead of playing at their level. Liked that when we had our foot on their neck we didn't let up. Telling backups they need to burn clock and run basic plays isn't good mentally or developmentally (stfu Sam).
So team looked well coached. No visible mental errors. Nice seeing a Qb hit a wr in stride to get Yac. Nice seeing a qb that isn't the fattest guy on the field. Nice seeing an o line that seems to know basic concepts in footwork.
Quote from: Show-Me Hog on Aug 30, 2024, 12:27 AMSince when do the stats reflect a QB's yardage average, per attempt and not per completion? That's not right, is it?

YPA is considered the superior stat because it weeds out the 50+ chukkers.
Just a great job by the team and coaching staff. Such a difference.
Looking forward to Okie State.
Last night was the first time in a long time we looked like we knew what we were doing.
It was nice not seeing any bone-headed mistakes or horribly timed, drive-killing trick plays for a change.
As someone said last night, I'm glad Enos and finger-tape are gone.
Quote from: jdcatty on Aug 29, 2024, 09:52 PMTo me, the best thing was we didn't make mistakes. In 10 possessions in a row. We had a few penalties, but the last 3 years we would have had 10 false starts in 10 possessions.
That's a start. Not sure we learned much else.
We had 1 penalty last night. The block in the back on Sategna's punt return.
It was great too see.

Yep! We avg 2 yards a carry in our opener against W. Carolina last year.
We've got the best combination of coordinator's we've ever had. Probably towards the bottom of the SEC talent wise. If this year goes sideways, it would be a shame to lose Petrino and Williams.

You're probably right but honestly, how can you know that? I haven't really kept up with recruiting or anything so there were only about five players out there that I'd even heard of before the game.
It's sort of awesome in a way. Every year you get a chance to reload.

With the exception of the Petrino years, there haven't been many times this century where it didn't look like we were playing sandlot football.
In Nutt's best years, we were just really good at sandlot football.
Petrino's years were the only seasons I felt like we were trying to be a real football team.

According to the Dem Gaz, we had 6 penalties. But I agree we really cut down on silly mistakes, like false starts, etc. And it was great to see. Last year we would have had 6 in the first two drives, mainly false starts.
Green's first few passes were off a bit, but it looked like his mechanics and nerves got straightened out as the game progressed. I thought Singleton was throwing darts and maybe had a little stronger arm. Both looked pretty good, so I think we will be OK at QB if one get injured. We played nearly errorless ball. BMFP makes a difference . No one wants to feel his wrath.
I may still be riding the high of the game and season starting, but it was good to see the linemen helping the running back up after a run again. That has been missing these past few years.
We also looked faster, even with the heat last night. Didn't notice many cramps - so maybe conditioning is going to be better this year.

I like 54. That center bar helmet is throwing some SWC vibes.
It was hot, it was on a neutral field. There were a lot of new personnel involved in their first game together. We played a substantially inferior team. Everything was in place to see a bunch of mistakes and win by five touchdowns. We played a very clean, relatively mistake free game. Very refreshing.
The oline looked good. The quarterback play was good. The defense seemed to be in right position without blown assignments. We will have to see what happens against equal and better talent, but if we continue doing these things, we can move the chains and make the stops to get the d off the field. Do that and we will be competitive and be in a lot of ball games. That's what you can have with quality coaching.
I'm not as giddy about the QB play as others are.
A lot Green's big completions were due to him having the cleanest pocket he'll see all year. He had hours to wait for the WR to get between the zones, etc. A lot of his misses would have been picked off by a DB with any degree of talent.
Also, we had a few 3rd and 10 / 3rd and 15 type passes that were caught but which never would have been against a real defense putting pressure on the QB.
We're going to be lightyears better than last year, due to having an OC with an otherworldly gift for scheming, but he can only do so much with so little to work with. I think next week we'll come down to earth.

Green was pretty inaccurate early on. He got better in the 2nd quarter.
Need to get Green a shock collar that goes off every time he drops his elbow. Wear that bitch all week.

Agree. And I think that is why so many of us are "giddy". We finally did what we were supposed to when playing an inferior opponent. We didn't fart around and have a hole to overcome at halftime.
Sure there are some things we can improve on, but fuck, we can now enjoy football the entire weekend without waiting on Yuri to fire Sam.
Here is what I know about Green. If BMFP thinks Green is good enough to be his QB, he is better than anyone we've had up there since the first Allen boy (okay maybe the second). But anyway, a long damned time.
That's the amount of faith I have in Petrino's knowledge and ability with QB's. This kid definitely needs some work, but we know he'll get it.

I about spit my drink out when I heard the announcers gushing over the stadium. WTF?
The only thing that made War Memorial look bad on the TVs was the empty seats. Had it been full then it would have looked awesome. Just like a game in Fayetteville.
The people of central Arkansas clearly don't support going to the game so stop playing there. It really is simple.
With all that said, the game would have been equally as poorly attended even if it had been played in Fayetteville. And would have looked just as bad on the TVs.
One has to wonder what could have been if Jimbo would have unleashed Bobby and given him free reign. Glad he didn't.
That was a hell of a lot better than we looked the last time BP had his first game at Fayetteville.
I live in LR, and grew up growing to games at War Memorial. I used to love it. Heck, we even went to the Razorback Red White games at War Memorial in the spring back in the day.
It has been a fairly terrible experience the past several games with poor opponents, odd times, and unprepared stadium staff, resources.
It was 103 degrees on my truck when I left work yesterday.
I gave my tickets at War Memorial away.
There was no way I would go to War Memorial and watch them play UAPB in the heat when I could sit and watch them on the U.
Move them all to Fayetteville after we hang half a hundred on the Injun Wolves next year.

*Hot as fuck
*Economy sucks people aren't buying tickets to see UAPB get railed
*Hogs predicted to suck...not a lot of hype going into the season. If it weren't for Petrino nobody would give any fucks at all about Arkansas football right now.
I don't think the above things get negated by a plush modern stadium it can't hurt but people would come to WMS if we were good and it was a game worth coming to.
Also I think there have been a bit of shenanigans with the scheduling to make sure there is low turn out. If that's a Saturday afternoon or night game people are probably gonna come. A work night, hot as fuck, shitty expectations. Nah.
Now this is where I'm going to suggest a possible thing here. A 30k max seat modern stadium with retractable roof that leans more so to hosting high school, FCS/D2 and the odd FBS contest makes sense. A venue that can do concerts, maybe even soccer matches or something. They could bulldoze the old girl down and rebuild and call it WMS by Waste Management.
Waste Management could build a giant inflatable dumpster and roll it in front of the tunnel as the losing team exits the field.
Firefly War Memorial Stadium shaped as Waste Management dumpster Little Rock, AR 66491(1).jpgThe stadium shaped like a 12 yard dumpster with giant plastic lids that flop down that act as the retractable roof. Don't get me started I got plenty of ideas here.

Johnson wasn't burned as much as he just let the interception go right through his hands.
And good pressure forced the QB out of bounds.
The block in the back was stupid though.

Clark isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He is too slow for the position but is usually in the right place. You just can't let him get matched up man-to-man with anyone other than maybe a blocking TE.
Clark I think is probably better suited as a reserve guy that comes in when we go zone. That's more his speed. Johnson is supposedly greatly improved...we'll just have to see. Are we sure he was the #8 that pushed a guy in the back. I just assume we have 17 #8s on the roster.
Looking at the defensive stat lines. Usually there would be a couple guys getting a good deal of the tackles. This looks like a stat line from Freshman mode of the video football game. Max 2 tackles...lots of guys getting 1 tackle. Crazy offensive stat lines.
388lb freshman tied for sacks is pretty crazy.
Clark and Johnson are both slow of foot.

If the other side is so bad you have to shorten the game, there is no way they are giving your guys an opportunity to develop. That is worse than going against air.
Whoever thought this was a good idea to schedule this game is likely the same group that thought Chad Morris was a good hire. Our program is being hampered by these people and their egos.
I watched it again and IT WAS awful. It was like the state championship high school varsity going up against the 7th grade team. Can anyone say that they had a single player who could make our three deep? I don't know.
But it may have been useful anyway. Remember how everyone used to make a big deal about Petrino not even letting the defense make plays in practice because he wanted our offense to get everything EXACTLY right? Will, this was just a step up from that. It was a defense that was not capable of doing anything and so we could work on our execution. Mostly it seemed pretty good.

One of these games per year is great. A lot of guys played Thursday that won't see the field the rest of the year. We got live game reps for those players that will help them for the future, and help coaches evaluate them when it comes time to prepare for next season and/or cull players into the portal.
Confidence is key for teams like us, Ole Miss (normally), State, Missouri, etc in the middle-lower tier talent wise. Winning a few games early, even against substandard opponents, can build momentum and help you win some of those one score games or possibly upset some more talented teams down the stretch. Lose a couple of early ones like last year and the whole team can develop self-doubt at best or a terminal case of the fuckits at worst and tank a season.

Confidence is key for teams like us, Ole Miss (normally), State, Missouri, etc in the middle-lower tier talent wise. Winning a few games early, even against substandard opponents, can build momentum and help you win some of those one score games or possibly upset some more talented teams down the stretch. Lose a couple of early ones like last year and the whole team can develop self-doubt at best or a terminal case of the fuckits at worst and tank a season.
Exactly. Huge value in that game specifically for us.

No but I bet they can play Hey Muthafucka
Quote from: Texzilla on Sep 03, 2024, 08:34 AMI'll never understand how the Razorback band sucks so bad compared to a band like this. UAPB band should be contracted to play at our games, and they can have our crew or just use their jr varsity band. They need the money.
Hold your horses!
We got updates to enhance our game day experience this year. Check out the exerprtfrom an email I got today:
QuotePregame Band Show: The new pregame show will blend classic Razorback traditions with additional fan engagement and energy featuring familiar music and visual elements that our fans love.
Following the game, fans are invited to join in our post-game tradition of singing along with the Razorback Band as they play the University of Arkansas Alma Mater.
Pregame flyovers are scheduled for every game this season, starting with USAF F-16's for the home-opener vs. UAB on September 14. Additional details on flyovers, including information on the aircraft and crew, will be released each game week.
Frisbee Dogs will be in attendance for a performance on September 14 (UAB). The U.S. Navy Leap Frogs Parachute team will drop into the stadium during the pregame on Oct. 5 (Tennessee).
Arkansas Flag: A new giant Arkansas Flag will be introduced into the gameday experience to showcase the pride of the Natural State and will be held by pre-selected fans and students, each game.
Kick for Cash: One randomly selected fan will have the opportunity to kick a field goal for $10,000 at each and every home game.
They did it a little different. No alma mater, replaced it with Rock & Roll. It could be ok if everybody joins in the We're Gonna Beat the Hell Outta You part.
