Arkansas put up a respectable effort against an, I think, elite team that played a near-perfect game, that was very ready for the game. Sucks because, the effort the Razorbacks put up would beat the Aggies most years.
But this Tennessee game is very exciting. The Razorbacks came out of College Station very healthy, hopefully. A&M packed the stadium, including fans yelling right behind the Razorback bench, I’m very fearful that may have infected a large portion of the team. If the Razorbacks can’t play because of covid, it would probably be to their benefit, to eliminate Tennessee’s bye week advantage.
However, assuming covid isn’t running rampant through the team, they should be healthy against Tennessee. The offense seems to really be clicking, and they have more weapons than they know what to do with. I think Trelon Smith, Burks, Boyd, Warren, Woods, and Henry are all just scratching the surface of what they can do and are really starting to emerge as dynamic playmaker. The offensive line is key to their success, and I think they are ready to make a huge jump against Tennessee.
The defense yesterday was a few third and longs away from having a great game, and I think will return to getting turnovers with, as I mentioned earlier, getting healthier (Brown, Pool and Morgan), and the return of Catalon.
Throw in the fact that it’s a night game at home, with fan enthusiasm running high, and I think Tennessee could be walking into a buzzsaw.

. Apparently they don’t know that CJP has discovered that JG’s butt has a deadly allergy to the bench and is 100% committed to saving his life
