Ole Miss Versus Arkansas

In my pre-season picks, I chose Arkansas 35 to 28 for a win. Arkansas should win the game but I think it will be a lower scoring affair. I am taking the final score of 21 to 7. By the way, the latest line is the Hogs by 17.

When the Hogs win...
Cotton Bowl here we come almost for sure. The Nutt bashers will still be looking for fodder to come out again. They will find negativism in a win and winning season ... how pitiful!

If the Hogs lose...
The wolves will be howling again. Houston please do not lose this game! The QB "controversy" will be in full swing and will dominate the air waves.

Keys to Victory...
Lightly use the pass to open up the run. It worked at Auburn with the Monk TD reception and it should work to exploit a weak Ole Miss defense.

Keys to Defeat...
Special teams mistakes ... I am feeling that it may be a bad week for this area on our team. When we are winning, a lapse in this area usually has led to loses and key losing skids in the Nutt era. Let's hope we are focused in this area!

Things to Cheer About...
TV game again! Regional coverage on JP (I know Lincoln Financial ... old habits are hard to break!). Most would say win number six and a bowl game but not at this point ... let's not cheer for that reason when we win ... keep our eyes focused on each game and sole ownership of the SEC West. Peace out.
