Everyone knows that Arkansas is going to run it, yet they run it successfully. If LSU is going to be committed to the run, why aren't they able to get better results?

What is Arkansas doing that LSU isn't?

Just look at what he did and what he left at Wisconsin. Arky's running game will be scary once he gets all of his players there.

It's pretty much a guarantee, I'd say.

Texas Tech has a terrible defense.

Arkansas never fell behind enough to abandon the run.

I doubt they will be able to run all over State, Ole Miss, and Bana

Their OL is huge and their backs are physical guys who make yards after contact

They run out of a fairly diverse set of formations.

Example.

OL. Teams have always known we're running it its just now that it's not working. It's all about the OL.

They are obviously coached up better in the running game, as much as it pains me to say it.

Do you not think that everybody knew we were going to run it in 2010, 2011, and 2012? We ran down opponents throats regardless of WTF they knew. Blocking is the problem, and it is the only problem why our running game is trash this year.

the fact that you can't see that Texas Tech has a poo front seven really speaks a lot

In their only SEC game this season Arkansas had a grand total of 2 rushing yards in the 2nd half.

The majority of their running plays aren't obvious to the most casual observer... Off tackle with a FB that rarely does anything more but bounce backwards off his block and the hole, if there was one, is filled. Most high schools from when I was in school back in the mid '80's, had a more complex and varied scheme than we do. I've defended Miles the entire time he's been here and for the most part, I love the guy. But the run game has remained exactly the same, regardless of our OC. We've been extremely fortunate for years. We had no business winning the 9-6 game in Tuscaloosa. It amazes me that anyone actually thought we had a chance on 01/09/12. Our only chance was if Bama hurt themselves. Just like the 9-6 game. I am finally fricking tired of it. I don't want to make the mistake Texas made by keeping a coach too long. frick it's so frustrating.
