No. 3 Texas at Arkansas Game Week Thread


Recommended Posts

I lived in Arkansas for 2 years and you don't really understand the hatred for Texas until you are there and see it.  Hating Texas is a full time job for those pigs.

All I can say is we better be ready the second the foot hits leather on the kickoff,  none of these slow starts and early turnovers.

Where in Arkansas do you live?! I have family all over the state. They can make fun all they want but the overall results are pretty overwhelming lol. 

I live in Vilonia! Right next to Conway. It’s been rough living here because of these hog fans lol. They can go undefeated (which never happens) or win 2 games and they talk an insane amount of crap.

SARK'S STAMPEDE

• Under head coach Steve Sarkisian, the Longhorns are 22-4 in their last 26 games with their only four losses coming against top-12 teams.

• In Sarkisian's first 22 games as head coach at Texas, UT went 11-11.

• Since the start of the 2023 season UT is 20-3 (0.870) with the only three losses against AP top-12 ranked foes.

• Texas is 16-3 at home over the last three seasons with its only three losses to top-5 ranked foes (No. 5/4 Georgia on Oct. 19, No. 1/1 Alabama in 2022 and No. 4/4 TCU in 2022).

• Through seven games this season, the Texas offense under Steve Sarkisian is averaging 465.2 yards per game and 6.7 yards per play. The yards per game is tracking close to the UT single-season record set in 2005 (512.1) The yards per play would be on pace to be second behind only the 1993 team (7.44). Last season’s offense finished third (477.5) and fourth (6.67) in those categories, respectively. The current 301.1 passing yards per game is also inching close to a UT single-season record, held by the 2008 team (308.3).

Haven't seen any mention of this yet ...

 

And then there's this nightmare of a beat down ... never underestimate your opponent in an away rivalry game, especially when you are their # 1 most hated rival and they wouldn't even make the top 4 of important games on your schedule this year

Early game is ideal. They’ll be physical & try to beat us up, which will lead to some success in the run game for them. But I think we win this by 10+ when it’s all said & done.

Good thing we are more physical than they are.  This is not 3-4 years ago.  We have the stronger guys in the trenches now.

Haha nice! I know Vilonia! It’s so true that they love to hate Texas more than they love themselves!! I did undergrad in Fayetteville and was amazed at how much people kept bringing up Texas and how much they HATED Texas. It was so weird to me being from Austin.
