No. 8 Alabama, Arkansas trying to follow up big wins

Dominating the time of possession in the second half at Tennessee worked well for the Razorbacks, but Alex Collins and Rawleigh Williams are unlikely to be as productive as they were against the Vols. For one thing, Collins’ won’t have time to make moves at the line of scrimmage as he did in Knoxville.

Georgia sophomore tailback Nick Chubb still isn’t sure what to make of his 13th consecutive 100-yard rushing game last Saturday against Alabama.

It happened to Ole Miss, which was hammered by Florida by the same 38-10 score that Alabama produced against Georgia. He said the game plan was to test Bama’s beefy defense on the edges rather than run straight into its four-man front of 300-pound defensive linemen. “And I’m hoping that nobody on our team is playing for you”.

Arkansas also picked up a big victory on the road Saturday, and though it came on a much smaller stage, it was almost as important. Alabama 30 Arkansas 17 Florida @ Missouri: After the Gators’ come from behind win over Tennessee, everyone began to ask, “Are the Gators for real?” Arkansas put up a few good numbers on them, but even then it was still a good game. By playing my Tennessee/Georgia drinking game, you may quit alcohol for good.

Of course, an Arkansas victory appears unlikely. If they don’t do it this week, they’re staring at a 2-5 start to the season. However, the are three key matchups to the contest, which if Arkansas can get the edge could help the Hogs pull off a big upset. “We have to play consistent”. This streak will eventually stop, but not against a defense that’s allowed 200-plus rushing yards three times this season.

Coker, with an assist from Lane Kiffin’s play-calling, completed 11 of 16 for 190 yards, passed for one touchdown, and ran for another. But all this talk about the SEC West being the toughest division in college football history this year and how Georgia is finally going to break through? “Our passing game wasn’t in rhythm, so it would have been great to run the ball”.

A preseason second-team All-SEC selection by both the league’s coaches and the media, Kirkland is ranked by CBS as the fifth-best NFL prospect among junior offensive tackles.

Santos Ramirez at safety, Henri Tolliver at nickel back and Greenlaw at linebacker must play older than their actual experience. The only two in front of him are Heisman Trophy contenders. The Alabama game is all gravy. “So the expectation for us is we’re going to have to do a lot better job”.

Just take the words “coached”, “played”, “schemed” and “worked” and add the prefix “out” to each of them and it sums up Saturday’s thrashing between the hedges. So this past Saturday night… there I was in Athens once again watching Georgia and Alabama. Now Florida is in the driver’s seat in the SEC East race, as they control their own destiny. Still, a closer look suggests that Georgia has underachieved during Richt’s reign, losing at least two regular season SEC games in all but three of his 14-plus seasons. “You can look at teams all over the country who have big wins and then two weeks later theyre not so happy again.”. “I mean that would be a good stat to check out”, he said, (and to answer his question it was two – Alabama in 2009 and Auburn in 2010).
