Plays for Week 2:
Iowa State 1H -3 (1U)
Iowa State FG ML -190 (2U to win 1.05U)
Let’s talk Texas vs Arkansas…
GOY line a few weeks ago was Texas -3 & now this number is all the way up to -7.
You have to think, what made this number move?
1. Texas’s domination vs #25 ranked opponent in Louisiana & Arkansas struggles in the 1H vs Rice.
2. Texas is purely heavy public betting team. No doubt this line will move heavily toward the Horns.
3. Arkansas history L3 years..bottom of the barrel team in the SEC…19’ 3-7, 18’ 2-10, 18’ 2-10…7-27 L3 Years! Texas has always slowly progressed over the L3 years…Now with, Steve Sarkisian taking over from #1 team Bama, great things should happen in ‘21…especially w/ news of getting accepted to the SEC.
Some things to factor…
-When you think Texas, you think heavy, big, strong kids. The SEC or what Arkansas has faced is that plus SPEED.
-Arkansas was 2-10 LY, but they did play Georgia well in the 1H and nearly beat Auburn and LSU.
-They return 9/10 starters and 2nd yr Coach Pittman who’s gotten a lot of praises from current NFL players. Great @ recruiting, superb Oline Coach…personally a very intelligent, detail oriented & humble human being that players will work hard for.
- Arkansas will be sold out. Night game vs Texas’s FR QB. Definitely will be some pressure on this young man.
- Last but not least, watched the DLine vs Louisiana’s DLine and Arkansas D is definitely step up..effort, aggressiveness was definitely more recognizable. Plus they return NG Ridgeway to clog the middles. Offensively, even though Arkansas is more of a run style offense, I think their Oline will give the running game plenty of opportunities. QB Jefferson has good legs & makes smart choices. It’ll be a slow churning style of game for Arkansas that will open up opportunities for the WR to get big plays down field.
Heavy Lean on Arkansas 1H +3, Arkansas +7, PLUS Arkansas ML.
