Alabama: Season Breakdown Games 1-6

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

Made me chuckle…
I’m not sure I would call it a “relative minor gaffe”, but then again… I’m insane.
Not too high, not too low.

Ryan Mallett made USA Today’s College Football preseason runup/overhyped analysis. It looks like Arkansas is finally starting to get some of the national press coverage that it has been missing earned over the last few years.
I can’t wait for this season.
Wait… “Mallet, a 6-7, 238-pound Tim Tebow..” Eff you, Glenn Guilbeau. You keep that name as far away from Ryan Mallet as humanly possible. And with a last name like that, you’re obviously an LSU writer.
I’m perfectly happy with us staying out of the press and avoiding the hype. Let’s just kick some ass this year.
University of Arkansas junior Ryan Mallett has been selected by Sporting News as the preseason favorite to win the prestigious Davey O’Brien award, which is presented annually to the top quarterback in college football.
And it should be mentioned, Eibner has done this before.

Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes, Arkansas down by 1
What do you do?
If you’re Brett Eibner, you hit a home run.
Even though the game didn’t end in our favor, I love this. ASU was stunned, Hog fans had faith. I screamed and jumped and knocked over chairs in a bar in New York at 2am. I love the big leagues, but there is nothing like the road to Omaha.
