    I think that's a pretty accurate assessment. I would like to add that I don't feel like Joe has been the same at PR since he got injured in whatever game that was late in the season. Hopefully that will change after a month of rest. I also feel that our PR coverage is very well and that our...

    Thank you. It's nice hearing our thoughts confirmed by someone that is biased to the other side.

    I've seen Mitchell practice quite a few times, and while he's not rated anywhere close to as high as Pryor was out of HS, he has a very similar skill set. He was actually committed to play bball at LSU before Brady was fired and then Petrino talked him into playing football instead. That's the...

    I know Pryor is a good passer, but I wouldn't underestimate Cam as a passer just because he can dominate you with the run. I think a lot of people overlook how good of a passer he is.

    No. I watched the Bama game and the Iowa game. They scored 3 in each game. Both were against good defenses, but they couldn't do anything in either game. Something must have clicked if they started scoring more than that, but that was two of the worst offensive productions I've seen in a...

    Facing the #10 and #12 ranked teams against the pass is craptitude? I know you gave us props against LSU, but Bama's no slouch. They're not as good as last year, but they're still good. And we would have scored more on them if had an established running back which we have now. Georgia at #19...

    I will say that Mallett is very good at picking apart a zone defense. His strong arm allows him to throw it right between two defenders. I have seen this countless times this year. Defenders think they are in position and then all the sudden, they can't get there in time because of the...

    Ok. That is a little bit better. I still think the Hogs score more than that (maybe not much more), but I think they'll end up with a higher total than 24.

    It's our kickoff coverage that's horrible. I actually feel that our punt coverage is above average (go figure). Our kickoff return team is also horrible. Our one player that was outstanding was injured in the 2nd game of the season and is out for season and we've tried 4 different guys to...

    But you're not looking a both sides of the coin here. You have to factor in what both of y'all are saying. Arkansas, since we've added balance, is scoring just over 42 points a game. I'm not saying that we are going to score that, but to say that we will score no more than 17 (plus any...

    Even after saying all that, I'll agree that Iowa is a good team. I don't know that I'm sold on Penn St. though. I was able to watch two of their games this year and wasn't very impressed by either one. They really have no offense. Iowa was a good team that just seemed bipolar. They could be...

    Thanks for the response. I guess that was more of an assumption on my part based on the great national ranking that OSU's defense has right now and that amazing numbers they are putting up and then couple that with the high regard I am seeing them held at right now on this board. I haven't...

    I just want to know if your SOS concerns you at all. Do you really feel that you have an elite defense, or do you believe that the elite numbers come from playing an easy schedule? I think it's a fair question. I'm not trying to argue or start an argument. I am just honestly wondering if the...

    Serious Question About OSU's Schedule I am really wanting to hear what OSU fans have to say about their schedule. I know you can only play the schedule you are given, but my questions are: 1.) Does playing a weak schedule make you worried about playing a team that has been battle tested much...

    Arkansas played Michigan in the Citrus Bowl in '99 I believe. We got the crap kicked out of us too.

    And if it's not, it might be a long night for Buckeye nation. After watching us play all season, there hasn't been one team (not even Bama or LSU) that has been able to keep the big plays from happening against Arkansas. I don't expect OSU to be the first to stop our vertical passing attack...

    Arkansas can score in under 5 plays and have done so many times this season. Also, since the emergence of Davis, we can run clock when needed and have a 15+ play drive. Turnovers have not been a huge problem this year, but they have definitely not been something to completely ignore. I...

    I went to our website to get the info for the ULM game. We gave up 1 passing play of 25 yards during that game. My point though wasn't to compare OSU's defense to Arkansas's defense, it was to compare OSU's defense to Arkansas's offense. Here's the breakdown of what Arkansas did on offense...

    I'm glad to see that you have that much respect for Petrino. I think he has earned that respect. As far as OSU scoring 30, that's not out of the question at all. It should end up being a very good game.
