Is anyone from Arkansas opting out?
- Thread starter Nitwit
- Start date
Last I heard 2 (?) of their players were out (1 after a DUI arrest who then declared for the draft IiRC).
This does appear to be a matchup of a motivated team (playing on Jan 1 for the first time in a while) verses a team that was not really interested in the game and mostly JV now.
Please link the story that reads the team is “not really interested in the game”, and do not include the players who opted out.
Thanks in advance.

Did you miss the interview with Clifford where they asked him what it means to play in the Outback Bowl? He said, “Who gives a sh|t? We’re here to hit the bars and get hammered.”
Unfortunately it is starting to look that way.It would be like kentucky a few years ago.
SNELL. YEAH.
Problem is he'll be alone because every other player over 21 transferred out.
We'll the younger guys can send him into the local packy to buy the beer and then they can go drink it behind the stadium. Always good to have that one guy who can get served. Party time!
Here's the more interesting question. With Poindexter calling the defense, does trust his guys and play one on one in the secondary or does he play zone and get a safety in the box or a combination of both. I think it's a great call to play Sutherland in this spot. He can do both.
Regardless of the missing PSU players. Arkansas is going to win the game. They have a very good coaching staff.
It will be like the Illinois game, only Arkansas has way better players. I wouldn't be shocked if Arkansas uses a similar jumbo package as Illinois at times. But they probably won't need to.
Michigan is also a good running team and we should have won that game. Unfortunate that we have so many guys opting out, but maybe that gives the replacements some motivation to show everyone what they got. Or maybe I’m just an eternal optimist
I hope the younger players play well also. That's the bright side of the opt outs. Get to see the young guys in game action.Michigan is also a good running team and we should have won that game. Unfortunate that we have so many guys opting out, but maybe that gives the replacements some motivation to show everyone what they got. Or maybe I’m just an eternal optimist
For the record, I would feel the same even if nobody opted out. I just think that Arkansas is going to run all over this team.

SNELL. YEAH.
SEC teams are just happy to be in a NYD bowl.
