Arkansas Scouting Report

by PodKATT on Nov 27, 2009 8:14 PM CST in Football Comment 4 comments

Talk to Hog Fans and they are sure to mention Ryan Mallet's recent hot streak during their last 4 straight wins, which includes 2 SEC wins, gaining nearly 300 yards through the air each game. Arkansas is most definitely a passing team this year.
Mallet likes to pass it around a bit. 5 receivers with 3 or more touchdowns and 300+ yards on the season. Statistically, Greg Childs leads the team for the season, but he hasn't been their best reviver in a single game since their loss to Ole Miss more than a month ago.
What little of Arky's run game that exists depends on Broderick Green, a short yardage back who has 372 yds and 10 TD's on the season. With the exception of a blowout of E. Michigan, he has not gained more than 50 yds in a game.
While Arky has the #1 scoring offense in the SEC this year, their D is certainly lacking. They usually give up ~300 yds and 2 or 3 TDs through the air a game. A recent exception to this is last week against Moo U where they instead gave up 300+ yds and 3 TD's on the ground.
Their kicker Tejada is decently consistent but doesn't have great range with a long of 44 and 3 misses beyond that.

Why the lack of coverage?

Has this blog been studying at the Les Miles school of time-management?

Why the complete lack of coverage for the Arkansas game?

Even this little “scouting report” is kinda lacking.

Anyways, it seems that the LSU fans that run this blog don’t really care about tomorrow’s game….I think you’ll be surprised at the trouble your Tigers will have stopping Mallett.

Wooo Pig

Do not flatter yourself razor. It is not that we are not concerned about Ryan Mallet and the Arkansas Razorbacks, I think it is has more to do with the complete disinterest some people have in this football team right now.

Personally, I have never been more ready for an LSU football season to end than I am right now. It is actually painful to watch this team play at times.

So, yes we are concerned about Arkansas and most Tiger fans know what Bobby Petrino and Ryan Mallet are capable of. But, if LSU’s offense cannot move the ball on Saturday and actually try to sustain a few long drives, it will be a long, frustrating day….again.

the blog is in transition..

I am the former managing editor, but have given it up recently to take up my new hobbies of house painting and child-raising. PodKatt is getting his sea legs, and I don’t know where everyone else other than Jrlz is. Let things settle down a bit and the blog will be back up to full coverage.
