And a response to that....


"Well said. Even more important than who VT beat is who beat them. Any team that loses to GT and Syracuse is vulnerable to Arkansas' rushing attack. Getting stomped by Tennessee while the Vols were playing poorly doesn't exactly project confidence either.

VaTech may have a dual threat QB but they depend on ball possession offense and teams that play keep away with the football (Clemson, GT, Syracuse) all beat them. Va Tech's defense has few red zone stops, only 7 stops in 38 tries, suggesting they depend on not letting teams drive the field, probably forcing 3 and outs with incessant blitzes.

The VaTech DL averages 275. That's the biggest advantage Arkansas has had against a Power 5 since the TCU game.

If Enos doesn't let AA stand in the pocket like a practice dummy they can keep VaTech chasing Arkansas on the scoreboard all night much like the MSU game and keep the ball away from Evans. Their leading RB has only 637 yards so its all down to stopping Evans and his two top receivers.

If AA doesn't have accuracy problems, if the OL is relatively penalty free, if the defense avoids giving up big scoring plays, then VaTech is exactly the sort of team that's most vulnerable to what Bielema Ball is supposed to do to an opponent."
