Good chance, as in better than 50%? Why? Look at the results of what these teams have done this season. I would give Arkansas a chance, but not a "good chance" especially with the game being in Baton Rouge.

I think we have the athletes to go toe to toe with you and I think our coach is better, honestly.

Disagree. This is the same "homerism" that is displayed by your fans against opponents weekly.

You can disagree if you want to, but if you think your fan base doesn't think the Hogs should be an easy W every year than you are in the minority.

And we beat Bama on the road (handling Trent Richardson better than most teams this year by the way). So, now your "improved" running game is going to do better than Trent Richardson?

So why do you have a good chance of winning on the road (where results have not been good for Arkansas)?

I never said our running game is better or will fair better than Bama's. I think our improved running game will help our exceptional passing attack exploit your defense. I didn't think the Cardinals were going to win the World Series in early August, but look what happened. It's possible for us to play lights out on any given day, whether at home or away.

You do not, particularly on defense and in the trenches.

From a pure Xs and Os standpoint, that's probably right. However, being the head coach at a major college program is so much more than Xs and Os, it isn't funny.

That's true - the game starts 0-0 and Appy State beat Michigan, despite having virtually zero chance. Vegas says ya'll have about a 13% chance, I put it at 10% - and I even think Arkansas is 1 of the 5 best teams in the country right now - there's just such a gap between the top 2 and the rest of the top 25. (In Little Rock, I would give ya'll closer to a 25% chance).

It's possible, just like alot of things are possible, but since you havn't played anywhere close to lights out or a complete ballgame this year on the road, why should anybody other than Arky homers think it will happen? I don't ever remember seeing a team look so much different on the road versus at home.
