It will be interesting to see what our DL can do against your OL. Our DL is supposed to be the strength of our team this year too with both returning DEs being in the top 10 of the SEC in sacks last year. We expect our OL to be improved with better coaching this year, but they were so bad last year that it wouldn't surprise me if you lived in our backfield most of the game. Our secondary needs to get a whole lot better than they were last year or Broadway will carve us up.
Betting drives the line. 97% of betters are going to use their knowledge of Arkansas and the SEC (only 4% retaining last year's ULM game memory - so it's irrelevant - as it should be). 32% of that 97% are going to factor UL and Hudspeth into consideration... and of that 32% of 97%, 64% are going to under-estimate Hud and the Cajuns. As for all but the very reasonable Hog fans... they are going to believe whole-heartedly that the Hogs will severely beat us.
As Zephyr pointed out, we... the Cajuns... are very, very capable of keeping both the Arkansas and Kansas State game a contest to the end. What he and I mean is... we will keep both games close. In the past, we "hoped" that sentiment into posts on this forum. Right now, there's no "hope" about it. We will make both games competitive. I firmly believe we will actually win one of the two. I'd never... with the exception of having fun "postulating"... make that "prediction".
I don't expect but 2% of Hog fans to truly consider our game being a "you pick it". 81% are going to smack talk us as the date draws near... either directly or amongst themselves. When we're within 48 hours of the game... better recon will permeate the Fayetteville faithful... and 92% of Hog fans will start the process of cinching their butt sphincter... the claims of dominance will evaporate... and the only contest that matters will take the field of play.
60% of the time, your stats are correct all the timeQuote:

I expect that to change in the next couple of years (maybe even next year) and stay competitive in all our games, but this year is what it is.
Good luck in your regional!Quote:

So bet the farm; hide and watch and smile at anyone north of ElDorado tell you that tells you this will be a cakewalk for the hogs. Just ask the folkies in Gainesville.h
They have a new coach, yes, but we have HUD. Never underestimate HUD ....especially when he has a new OD in tow.
I will choose to wait until BWK comes to the RP Board and like last year tell us how UL will do against the SECs---Think his Florida prognostication was quite accurate!!! i also wait for his incoming freshmen evaluation!!!
