    Sugar Bowl - Arkansas vs. Ohio State - THE STATS

    Got some good response from yesterday's thread, so I decided to tally up the rankings/stats between these two teams tonight and post again.

    Maybe a strength of schedule stat should be added.....Arkansas' numbers come from playing a much tougher schedule, without question.

    The only stat that worries me here is the Turnover +14 OSU....Mallet has a habit of throwing interceptions........

    Arkansas beat LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Texas A&M - Their only two loses are against Alabama and Auburn. All good teams IMO.

    Who has Ohio State beaten?

    I'm going with Arkansas and the OVER.

    This is true..


    Mallett faced two elite defenses this year, and in those games, he threw 4 TDs and 5 INTs (he only threw 11 INT all season) - both games at home (W vs. LSU, L vs. Bama)

    vs. Alabama: 25/38, 357 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT (Alabama #13 Ranked Pass Defense in Nation)

    vs. LSU: 13/23, 320 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT (LSU #9 Ranked Pass Defense in Nation)

    He also struggled against a terrible Auburn Pass D where he went 10/15, 96 yards, 1 TD.

    In 6 games vs. Ranked Opponents this season, Mallett has throwing an INT in 5 of those 6 games.

    Mallet was INJ in the Auburn game buddy.

    He only played less than a Half of football. I will give him an incomplete for that.

    Yes, I know he was injured. Maybe that says something for the intelligence of Petrino to send him back out there?

    I'm not holding the Auburn game against him...I'm more focused on the LSU and Alabama games, both at home.

    Not sure how he "struggled" like you suggest if he didn't even play a half and was 10-15, 95+yards and a TD. Intelligence of Petrino for sending him back out there....huh? Tyler Wilson sued remainder of game and played well. Mallett didn't play again until cleared by doctors.

    The Bama numbers were Pre-Knile Davis, so I give less emphasis to those numbers....LSU game, well, their D is pretty salty, do all in all, 300+ yards and TDs and most importantly a win appears positive to me.

    This game, IMO, will come down to whether or not OSU can put alot of pressure on Mallett without blitzing. If the can, OSU will win....if they don't (and end up blitzing alot), look for Hogs to win comfortably.

    You can stop talking now buddy. Tyler Wilson carved up Auburn's D after Mallet got hurt. And I wasn't aware that 10-15 for 96 yds and 1 TD was struggling. Thanks for clearing that up. You will make it easy for a lot of people to take Arkansas now. God bless you.
