This is per Phil Steele's composite rankings.

Alabama -- 9, 7, 22, 16, 4, 2, 18 (avg: 11)
Arkansas -- 189, 88, 18, 11, 67, 100, 106 (avg: 82).

The idea that Arkansas can just "follow Bama's gameplan" and magically stop the run completely ignores the fact that there are starters on the Arkansas defense who wouldn't make Alabama's scout team.

We might. I think, at least, LF will get 150+.

After running over everyone we played but Bama, are you really trying to act like LSU is now totally awful and won't be successful?

Les's strategy in action. Have enough talent to run over everyone but Bama.

Yeah. Darius Philon, Trey Flowers and Martrell Spaight. We rotate in a lot more guys on the DL this year than we did last year.

No. I am trying to say Arky & Ole Miss have legitimate dlines...unlike the previous teams on our schedule other than Florida.

Just because these defenses may have given yards up to teams that run spread offenses doesn't mean they will allow a bunch of yards to our offense. We do have an easy offense to defend.

winning the golden boot bowl isn't much to get excited about. I guess our first goal this year is to score at least one point.

At one point people were saying Florida would be the best defense we faced. Then they were saying it was Bama. (those saying that seem to have been right).

Not sure where the Arky defense fits in between Florida, Bama, MSU, etc.

That's an understatement. At least we have the horses to make it work for the majority of games.

Especially since based on the personnel and formation the defense knows the play and where the runner is going.
