Arkansas vs 4Tennessee game thread

Singleton running like Jack Sparrow on the TD scamper cracks me up

He runs like someone that's had a coach with a foot up his ass about taking care of the ball. Glad he settled in...that's the kind of stuff that can make all the difference. A kid comes in and sees it and realizes that he belongs on the field can really help a guy take off.

Hopefully we have a big enough game against La Tech where fellers can play but we're Arkansas we just have to worry about winning the game.

I guess I haven't been paying attention, but Steven Dix was a new name to me, and he really played well.

He's a transfer that started his career at Alabama. Made the same comment last night. He played really well.

Armstrong had 9 grabs for 132 against a TOP 5 opponent might have been more if Green doesn't go down. Anyway he's really developed into a real weapon. Probably not an NFL guy...not sure he's got the wheels. But he's turned into a helluva college player. I've always thought of him as kind of a Jevontee Herndon type guy and oh by the way Herndon played for 5 or 6 years in the NFL. 

Might have been a matchup thing but against A&M TeSlaa was wide ass open on a number of plays and was very active during the game...didn't have a grab at all in this one.

I didn't watch a helluva lot of this game but I understand they had a reserve DT playing at TE in some packages to help set the edge. No idea who that guy is.

Part of it is the fact that they wear the same number, but Armstrong reminds me a lot of Anthony Eubanks.  Not super fast, but fast enough and always open.   Has a knack for finding his way to wherever his QB might throw it.

The Hogs are riding a three game winning streak vs the Vols. Both of my alma maters.  I hate Tennessee. This will be the upset of the weekend. Your game commentary is welcome.

I would have gotten away with this if it hadn't been for those meddling Commodores.

i think armstrong will get a look at the next level. there's still a place for a possession receiver if he can block.

i'm sure the stat is out there somewhere but he has to lead the sec in catches for 1st downs.

[Barton Fink]

Outside of Burks, he has the best hands of a receiver we've had in quite some time.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

Yes, I'm a huge Petrino fan so maybe biased, but I think that having him and likely the DC (though I don't know much about him) is helping with their confidence.  In close games, the winner is often decided by who hopes they will win vs who Thinks/KNOWS they will win.  I think under Sam, we have hoped to win a lot while the other team was expecting to win.  Petrino is a fucking winner and that confidence spreads.

Just thinking back to when he was HC and the players talking about TD plays that they fully expected to score on when the play was called.  When that happens, you execute because you are going to score.  That type of mentality helps a ton to play loose but exact.

I'm not a fan of Sam, but I think if we can keep things going without a huge disaster, we could be really set up well for next year, even if Sam is still the coach if we keep the staff in place.

He made at least one great block, on that swing pass to Sategna in motion.

He's better than Jevonte Herndon for sure. He reacts fast so he plays faster than his straight line and can make some breakaway plays.

He made two incredible catches against tight coverage from McCoy, who is considered one of the best in the country.

Did anyone else feel the doom coming when Tenn completed that long pass on their last drive? You just knew the movie was ending like we all suspected. Glad it had a surprise ending.

Absolutely, especially after the defense had played so well. That was Nico's best throw of the night.

Funny enough, Nico is a Jekyll and Hyde just like Green.

Is it though? Our resident "Ball expert" says otherwise.

I think you are forgetting he has forgotten more about balls than you'll ever know.

Bless his heart.

Teslaa ran wideeeeeeeeeee open (no one within 20 yards, busted coverage) on a play where it would have been a TD if Green had seen him.  I believe at that point Green was running for his life and ended up eating it or throwing it away.

Yeah, he was under heavy heat but didn't have the pre-snap awareness to realize the blitz was coming from that side with no help over the top.

I just don't know if he's ever going to get to that level mentally. We will just have to take the bad with the good.

Other than the win itself, the best thing about yesterday was that it was a nationally televised night game with the network's A-team calling it.

We almost ALWAYS lose those games. Usually our big upset games are on ESPN6 with some hoarse-voiced bimbo on the call at 11am.

Lots of Orange in the WCDC from Friday night to this morning.

He must have fallen down a couple of times.

[hit_that_line]

The box score says otherwise.

431-332 total yards.

Time of possession was 35 minutes to their 24.

BMFP called a great game.

What does any of that have to do with the aTm game?

The defense won the game of course.
