I don't think there's any cognizant man, woman, child, dog, cat or amoeba on the planet that thinks Arkansas has a minuscule modicum of a chance against Bama. The line is 17.5 but I'll be surprised if it's not at least twice that.
Five reasons the Hogs get blown out tomorrow:
1) our pass coverage is perhaps the worst I've seen at any level, or maybe it's just our defensive scheme, either way it's not working. Hogs have played one qb with a pulse this year and the D is still giving up 300+ passing ypg. Unlike the NBA zone defense is not illegal.
2) Tackling. Sam Pittman made a decision not to have live tackling in preseason practice and it's showing. How difficult is the concept of wrapping your arms around a ball carrier and holding on. Big hits look good on ESPN top 10 but form tackling wins games.
3) Bama has been living in our heads for 14 fixing to be 15 years. I don't think anybody on the team including Sam Pittman thinks we have a snowball's chance
4) KJ Jefferson has zero ability in the mental aspect of the game such as reading a defense or coverage, hell he can't even speak intelligible English yet
5) they're Alabama and we're Arkansas
And a bonus reason (6) Kendal Briles
