It's disappointing that both Heard and Campbell could possibly, likely wont he available for Arkansas. Really underscores the misses we've had at that position.

I can see a situation where we underestimate AR. A situation where our OL doesn't play well, and its a dog fight, close loss.

That said, I absolutely do NOT expect that to happen, and still see a two TD win.

You misunderstood my post. They fully expect Campbell to play. He isn't expected to be on the injury list. If he is it will most likely be "probable ".

Does anyone else remember when Travis Henry injured his neck at the goal line against Vandy and had to be carted off. His mom got on the back of the gator and was so heavy the front wheels came off the ground and it would not turn. This my brain on a bye week.

I remember Travis tried to go over the line and landed on his head. Then his momma ran onto the field. That last part I don't recall.

It is a weird feeling going into every game having a very hard time finding a path for our opponents victory.

Pate bringing up BVS does got me thinking though.

Heupel still has to prove he can go a full season without a stinker and losing a game we shouldn't lose. Arguably in his first season we didn't really blow it. Maybe the Pitt or Purdue games.

The USCjr mizzou and Florida no shows do come to mind.

We do however...kinda have a long history of blowing it against lesser opponents. Superior teams coming up one game short. Even back to Neylands first 7 seasons where he was 54-2-5. Only two of those seasons had a loss and the others had one tie. Just kinda weird how we could be that dominant and not have a 10-0 record in any of them. Only 1938 was unblemished. There's even the weird loss to a bad Miss St team in 1950. Dickey was super close a lot. Majors always blew it at some point. Fulmer blew it a ton, like losing to Memphis somehow. 01 blowing it against UGA and LSU.

Even us at least finishing 10-2 with losses to UGA and Bama would be one of the few times we've ever not blown it against an inferior team at some point in the year.

Big opportunity for Heup to establish a more consistent program. I think our guys have the right mindset to not be complacent, but we do indeed have to contend with that history.

Heupel didn't blow anything year 1...he did awesome that year with the roster he had to work with. Not to mention fixing a horrid losing culture that had been ingrained into the very soul of the program by 15 years of disgusting ineptitude.

I do not understand the way y'all think sometimes.
