Re: Who is Arkansas State?
I think this all comes down to our young defensive coordinator and our ability to hold on to the football.
If those two things are in our favor, we win.
Re: Who is Arkansas State?
They lead the nation in turnovers gained on defense, but the also give up a bunch of big plays. It sounds like our defense last year, but they are not as good against the run as we were. I think Dixon/OL is the key for the offense. If Dixon can get it going, it should open up the play action deep passes.
Their offense is run-based and their QB can hurt you scrambling out of the pocket. I don't think he's a guy who can stand back their and beat us with him arm.
Re: Who is Arkansas State?
Of course they put up great numbers in that no defense league.
Arkansas St fans are going to be in for a rude awakening on Saturday.
Dixon will run for 175+ and 4 TDs
Driskell will throw for 200+ and run for 50+
They will not stop Turner, Taylor, and Henderson
Final - not sure, we win by 19 in a track meet
Re: Who is Arkansas State?
Sounds like we need to win TOP and turnover margin and we should be okay.

Depends on which team shows up.

True.......We show up (or not) like we did VS Southern Miss, we will lose....should lose, and be tremendously embarrassed.
I think we will come out ready to make a statement. I can't wait to get down there!!!!
Re: Who is Arkansas State?
We've had a lot of rain games recently. I think we hold onto a dry ball in a dome...and we win.
Re: Who is Arkansas State?
I forgot about our O line......ugh

I'm inclined toward this viewpoint except I don't think it will be a track meet. I think we're going to beat them in every facet of the game. It will be competitive game but a convincing victory.
Re: Who is Arkansas State?
Danny Kannell (sp??). Picked Ark St with his least confident bowl prediction. Just means that the mother ship really doesn't know anything about either team. He talked about the red wolves 8 game win streak, but failed to mention that they didn't play anyone.

They are also being picked by 60% of Bowl mania challenge players

Probably based upon our last showing against USM. I think there is a significant talent differential in favor of LaTech. We'll see.

There is. However, after watching the last 2 games we've played, this ain't the same team that it was in October. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get beat.
