Recruiting Forum: UNofficial Arkansas State Pre-Game Thread

[OGbabyaviVol]

It will be channel 611-1 on DirecTV (Alternate Channel).

It won't show up on your guide until Saturday.

Oh really? Didn't know they did that. Sweet!

 

[JamesBenUT]

Can't afford to miss tackles either. Arky St will try and put you in 1on1 matchups in the flat. And let the offensive guy make a move. Just gotta read his hips and take him down.

I think we'll be ok. I'm more worried about this offense compared to Utah St's offense.

I watched their Montana St game as well. ASU is a decent football team. They are a whole lot better than the non conference cupcakes that the rest of the SEC is playing this week:

12:00 PM Florida Atlantic at No. 2 Alabama
12:00 PM No. 24 Missouri at Toledo
12:00 PM Arkansas State at Tennessee
2:00 PM UAB @ Miss State
3:30 PM Ohio U @ Kentucky
4:00 PM Eastern Mich @ Florida
4:00 PM Nicholls State at Arkansas
4:30 PM No. 15 Ole Miss at Vanderbilt
7:00 PM East Carolina @ South Carolina
7:30 PM San Jose State @ Auburn
7:30 PM Sam Houston State @ LSU
7:30 PM Lamar @ Texas A&M

It'll be good test. We'll come out winners but "it'll be closer than the experts predict" IMO

Toledo will challenge Mizzou.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

That's what I'm most interested in seeing how our defense handles this. Last year, that seemed like our Achilles heel: teams beat us to the corner and were off to the races. Sunday, it appeared we were much improved in that respect. If we can do it again on Saturday, I'm going to feel a whole lot more confident I'm gonna see a competitive football game when I fly out to Norman next week.

We are finally SEC fast. This should not be a consistent problem any more.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Toledo will challenge Mizzou.

I'm usually conservative in my weekly picks, but I've got Toledo with the W here. Mizzou will begin to show some cracks, and why not against a veteran Toledo team?

 

[chavisut]

I've got Toledo.

 

[JamesBenUT]

Toledo will challenge Mizzou.

That's what they're saying. We'll see. I have a hard time believing Mizzou has fallen so much in a year. They have lost a lot of players, but to go from winning the SEC east to losing or struggling against Toledo? I wouldn't touch it in Vegas

Couple other notes on Arky St....

They had 2 fumbles. Lost both. And they had 2 big ST's busts. McKissic fumbled a punt and Montana State recovered at the 5. 1st and goal for Montana St, they would end up punching it in for a TD. Costly error. Then, Montana St was getting ready to punt, faked it, the punter kept it and ran for 25 yards and a 1st down.

Arky St had 294 rushing yards on 48 rushes. Right at 6 ypc. If you take away Knighten's production on the ground and Gordon's 42 yard TD... Here are the remaining stats...

Gordon: 6-26
White: 12-48
Hollingsworth: 5-15
Byner: 3-15
Hogan: 2-31 (End around guy)
Williams: 4-13

As you see, nothing special. Knighten is what makes them go.

Thanks for posting POA, some good stuff here. This is why I'm not too worried about how this one plays out. Their style gives us trouble when it's run by teams like Oregon and Auburn, but with our improved team speed especially on D, I don't think they have the athletes to run it against us. Contain Knighten and limit big plays and I think it will be another comfortable W with the offense making some noticeable improvements this week.

I didn't think Arkansas State looked that good watching those highlights. They had a few big plays. But the Montana State players on both sides of the ball looked like they were running in molasses. Even still, ASU could not put them away until the 4th quarter. Meh. We're too hungry at this point to let down in a game like this. I think we roll big time.

48-6 Vols

I've got Toledo.

Mizzou will drop plenty this year, but I think they'll pull this one out.

Here in NM Dish has the game scheduled on HD SEC ALT channel (#596). SEC #408 had last week's game.

As long as I get to see the game, I don't really care which channel it's on. :dance2:

 

[rekinhavoc]

Do you keep the game plan simple or do you give Oklahoma something to worry about?

 

[UTMark]

Do you keep the game plan simple or do you give Oklahoma something to worry about?

I think you do just enough to win comfortably.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

For those who have DirecTV, the alternate SECN channel would be 611-1. SIAP

 

[rekinhavoc]

I think you do just enough to win comfortably.

Yeah then unleash the offense on Okie.

 

[Vol knight]

48-10 UT. Later, rednecks. :salute:

 

[Glitch]

Has there been word on if the game has sold out yet?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Has there been word on if the game has sold out yet?

I expect a bit less. Maybe 95,000. Early game, non-SEC, still not "back".

 

[UTMark]

Has there been word on if the game has sold out yet?

We've sold over 90,000, but I don't think it's close.
