Arkansas visits Florida, kickoff 3:30PM Saturday. Last week was "Saturday night at death valley". This week "Saturday Afternoon in the Swamp". Arkansas comes in a 25 point underdog for homecoming weekend and Florida is coming off a physical emotional game at LSU. Can Urban Meyer keep the team fully focused so there is not another Ole Miss "Shocker"?
Meyer said he had a hard time getting the Gators attention last season
before the Ole Miss game because the Rebels were not playing very well
entering the game. Arkansas is different, according to Meyer. Arkansas is coming off and impressive 44-23 win againast Auburn, who was undefeated until that game. Offensively, Arkansas is starting to click??
Let's look at some stats. Auburn: 163 pts of offense against them, 230 scored points. Arkansas: 139 pts of offense against them, 187 scored pts. Florida: 32 pts offense against them, 195 pts scored.
I don't believe the 25 pt spread, in favor of Florida, will materialize, but I am certain Arkansas will score at the most 10 pts. Offensively caution will be exercised with Tebow, which should be the case. The defense will dominate and their quarterback Ryan Mallett will have a tough day. Remember, Florida has only allowed 32 points so far this season.
