Comments
This is a battle of two teams trying to become bowl eligible. You have State’s Mike Leach passing attack and solid defense taking on Arkansas’ balanced offensive attack and tough defense. I believe these two teams are about even. When they are even you go with the home team. Razorback Stadium definitely is a tough venue for visiting teams just like most SEC team’s stadiums other than Vanderbilt Stadium. While I’m going with the Razorbacks in this one, State could very well prevail. They have a very good passing attack that eats up the clock and an aggressive, hard-nosed defense. < /p>
