Bobby Petrino's brother, former Arkansas OC Paul Petrino joined Illinois this season and has faced Ohio State before. 5. Ohio State has not seen an opponent with the same caliber of offense, like Arkansas' vertical passing game. I believe that the key to this game is Arkansas RB Knile Davis. This guy is a beast and when he can take pressure off Mallett's back Arkansas is unstoppable. Look for Petrino to call a deep vertical play earlier but call an overall balanced attack as Arkansas wins this one outright.
