The Arkansas defensive line believes they hold the key to stopping the Gator offense.

Jerrico Nelson has adapted well to his “jack” position on the defense.   Just ask Mario Fannin.

Hogs safety Elton Ford was back on the field and moving well, which is great news for the Razorback defense.

Urban Meyer believes controlling field position against Arkansas could determine the game’s outcome on Saturday.

We’ve found one chink in the Alabama armor:  Red Zone touchdown production.

Gus Malzahn is tweaking his offense to stay ahead of the curve, one week too late as it turns out.

In case anyone did not know, the Mississippi head football coach calls the offensive plays.

Mississippi State is building for the future by playing lots of freshmen this year.  Not a bad strategy

LSU’s offensive malaise has nothing to do with a lack of variety.
