Was thinking about what it would take for us to beat Arkansas this weekend and came up with the following (in no particular order):
Offense
- >140+ rushing yds
- no TO's
- score on > 85% of our possessions since TOP will likely be around at least a 3 to 1 ratio for Arky
- continue 100% red zone scoring
Defense
- force 3-4 TO's
- force > 1 punt like we did last year, need 4+
- limit Ark to < 450 total yds but needs to be broken down as <250 rushing yds & < 200 passing yds
Team
- penalties ~ 5 for 60 yds or less
- +3 in TO margin for the game
- flawless ST play
If we can accomplish the above, I see us winning a 45-42 type game, but any big mistakes in the above categories and we just don't have the D to win games like this......YET!
What say you?
