Arkansas boasts a little of everything
By Josh Gordon
HHJ Sports Writer
No. 9 Alabama lost to
Northern Illinois
from the MAC last
week and Arkansas is rested
after they defeated Texas
two short weeks ago.
Alabama’s new head coach
Mike Shula is very compli
mentary of the Razorbacks
they’ll meet this week
(Saturday, 3:30 p.m.), con
science that the team earned
their lofty ranking.
“Arkansas is a team that
has a little bit of every
thing,” Shula said in a press
conference this week.
“They've got maybe a lot of
everything: size upfront
especially on the offensive
line. They've got speed on
both sides of the ball with
their wide receivers, with
their back, with their quar
terback.
“Defensively their corners
are very fast, good cover cor
ners. And they've got some
experience, too. I think
that's why they’re playing as
well as maybe anybody in
the country right now. So it's
going to be a great challenge
for our guys.
“We've got to have great
preparation just like we've
had the last few weeks and
then go out there and make
it pay off on Saturday night.
That's what we are going to
talk to our players about
when they come in today.”
Shula respects Arkansas,
but he has to get his pro
style offense ready. Last year
Arkansas was primarily a
defensive team, but quarter
back Matt Jones has another
year in the system is even
more capable this year.
He can run the option as
well as throw deep and
harmless enough but a per
sonal foxil on third and long
gave them the ball on the
Bear’s 14-yard line.
A run yielded nothing.
Likewise for two incomplete

South CaroHna at No. 8
Temessoo, ESPN 7:45
p.m.
South Carolina head coach
Lou Holtz said Monday he is
concerned about his team’s
ability to play well on the
road. After getting blown out
31-7 in Athens the
Gamecocks travel to Rocky
Top Saturday night.
“I don’t know what to
expect,” Holtz said at his
press conference Monday.
“Beating Florida on the road
was impressive (for
Tennessee). They are ranked
No. 8 in the country, but are
in the top five in scoring
defense and rush defense,
only allowed 2.0 yards per
carry, which is unbelievable
when you consider the
schedule they have played.
Tennessee is one of the top
10 in the nation in rushing
offense.”
Holtz’s preparation is not
limited to the rushing
offense of the Vols, but he
said that is where he started.
“They have two running
backs, Cedric Houston and
Jabari Davis, who are first
and fifth in the conference in
rushing and the average
over 200 yards per game
combined,” Holtz said.
“Their offensive line is very
good and all about 300
pounds and very athletic.
passes.
The question then was to go
for it on fourth down or try for
the field goal.
“We wanted to go for the
touchdown,” said head coach
Bob Stinchcomb who played
against Johnson at Appling
State. “There was never a
doubt ... we wanted the
touchdown.”
They obviously didn’t get it.

Tennessee always has good
receivers and then you go to
the quarterback, Casey
Clausen, who has hurt us
over the years by making
some big plays against us.
He is an excellent competi
tor and a fine quarterback.”
South Carolina is not good
enough to play with the Vols.
Tennessee just has to watch
out for a let down after last
week’s victory victory at
Florida.

Running back Ricky

third quarter and for a while
it appeared as if they were
going to score or at the very
least win the field position
battle. However, the only
scoring attempt was a

He scored on option keep

away and tossed another
touchdown to Andrew
Arnold in the second quar
ter on a wheel route down
the sideline.
“If you give him the time
he’s going to throw the ball
and he’s a good runner too,”
Jones said. “We mixed in a
little option too. We’re just
trying to do a lot of things.”
Jones was especially
pleased that he was able to
play his entire team Friday
night. Typically not every
player that dons the green
and white is able to play in
every game, but every play
er on the team can now say
they’ve played at least one
