“in the depth of winter I finally learned there was in me an eternal September. This definite, very real September I’m writing in, however, is the only place and time I want or need. Football season is over; football season has begun. The rest is life, and it can and will wait until February, the question that always answers itself by becoming March, and then April, and then back to September again, where we do not root for Tennessee, because that is simply not done here.”

Alabama: Season Breakdown Games 1-6

Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:56:00 -0400

Game 4: Arkansas - The Razorbacks get a chance to avenge the 35-7 loss handed to them by the Crimson Tide in 2009. Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett, who some believe could be the first pick in the upcoming NFL draft has all the intangibles of any NFL quarterback. Mallett threw for 3627 yards and 30 touchdowns last season, while only throwing 7 interceptions. The Razorbacks have the offense to make this game a nail biter, but the lack of a defense may come back to haunt them in this one. Greg McElroy is hoping to recreate his performance from 2009 in which he had his best statistical game throwing for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns while throwing no interceptions. This game could be interesting, especially since it will be played at Razorback Stadium where Alabama has tended to have a bit of a problem playing at. I want to give this game as a toss up but I feel like I have to make a prediction. Arkansas’ lack of a defense shows up in a major fashion during this game. Final Prediction: Alabama

[…]

Good breakdown. Defense has to be in this game from the very beginning and not let up for a second, but according to everyone down there right now, we’re really focusing on not letting those big plays get through. That being said it could still be a high schoring game. It’s definitely one I wish I was going home for, but alas I’ll be watching here in New York.

My Final Prediction: Arkansas

Potential Upset Games

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:44:14 -0400

simplyfootball:

Upset #1: Arkansas over Alabama

Arkansas is very underestimated; even being ranked #17. They finished the season ranked ninth in Points For (36). Mallet is back for his final year and he has some talented receivers to throw to. It almost seems like fate on how it’s put on the schedule: At Arkansas the week before Florida. It’s happened before where teams start to look ahead and fall short in the weeks before it. Their key to victory: score points.

“

Preseason scrimmages have shown that the first-team group may not be as susceptible to big plays as it was in 2009.

And that’s saying something, considering Arkansas’ defensive backfield goes toe-to-toe with one of the nation’s top passing attacks in practice on a daily basis.
