Lousy Anna Monroe

A raggedy ride is always better than a smooth walk and while it wasn't as pretty as Hog fans wanted it to be, the Hogs came out victorious last week making Jack Crowe 0-2 in his last 2 games as a head coach in Razorback Stadium.  Another non conference darling comes calling on The Rock this week as the Hogs start to prep for SEC play.

Little Rock is known for the tailgating, so we started tailgating a little early this week.  A crew of Hog fans showed up early and stayed late at Grub's Uptown last night to pregame for the Playstation Prediction.  If you haven't had Grub's Pizza Dip, you haven't had pizza dip.  That stuff will have you running through the A in your living room!!!  Fire up that fight song and let's see what the Playstation has to offer!!!!



The Hogs won the toss and took the football.  The domination was on from the get go as Knile Davis breaks a 30 yard run on the first play from scrimmage.  5 plays later, Brandon Mitchell finds paydirt on a 15 yd TD catch and the Hogs lead 7-0.  The Hog defense came out fired up and gets a 3 and out.

The Hogs begin another long drive that lasts well into the 2nd quarter and determined to get the running game going, Knile Davis pounds away with 8 carries for 48 yards.  3 plays later, Cobi Hamilton would score on a WR screen pass from 30 yards away.  Another 3 and out by the Hog D gives Arkansas a 14-0 lead at the half.

Monroe fumbles the 2nd half kickoff and Knile Davis scores 4 plays later, putting the Hogs up 21-0 on a 25 yd TD run.  The defense once again rises to the occasion and produces another 3 and out.  Tyler Wilson decides to show off the arm on Arkansas' next series, throwing 7 times for 80 yards finding Hamilton for another TD putting the Hogs up 28-0 at the end of 3.

The 4th quarter gets a little ugly as the reserves take the field and Arkansas punts for the first time.  Monroe returns the punt for a TD to trail 28-7.  On the ensuing kickoff, Nate Holmes takes it 92 yards to the house.  35-7 Hogs.   Time is winding down when Monroe takes one last shot and takes a tipped pass 50 yards to the endzone.  35-14 Hogs.....and victory formation is the call for 3 plays.

This game will have a funny feel to it tomorrow night.  Paul Haynes will have the defense ready to play tackle football this week, but Monroe will strive to give the Hog offense fits.  Don't be shocked to see Monroe line up with all 11 defenders in the box daring the Hogs to throw the ball.  They will blitz on 9 out of 10 plays and make running the ball difficult for the Hogs.  In 2010, Bobby Petrino was determined to run the football against Monroe but could only muster 98 yards by committee.  Petrino said trying to keep running the ball was like pounding his head into a wall because he knew he could've called a pass play every down.  I'm not sure if pounding his head into a wall hurts as bad as pounding his head into a roadside ditch, but I sure hope his little brother is the one that learned the lesson.  Paul has a chance to step out of the shadow a little bit more tomorrow night if he'll throw the ball 9 out of 10 plays.  Throw, score, get the game over.  Cmon Paul!!
