    My biggest concern is their bye week and new OC.

    Two weeks for them to add all sorts of wrinkles / sets / motion / etc, and no film for us to review.

    That's advantage Arky

    Gator bait, 10 minutes mark. Napier was all praising and this guy, personality doesn't fit?

    Does a loss here change the equation for Napier?

    Sapp and C. Jackson are questionable.

    NOPE. But why don't you get on it? Do some research and let us know.

    I love how so many posters here don't care about whether we win, or lose, or the game really, or if loyal gator fans enjoyed the game, win or lose, but just if it "changes the equation" for our coach, who they apparently want to fire.

    With the loss of James, it makes this game even more important to the Napier trajectory. I still say this is a win because Arkansas will be playing a very middling offense in a VERY hostile environment. But a quick strike here and there can manifest. It is up to the D-line to take over the game...finally.

    AND, if for whatever reason they are not quite up to the task in totality, Napier HAS to call a good or even great offensive game and it HAS to execute it. And it would be quite helpful if it did not turn the ball over.

    The question above is, will a loss be a truly bad thing for Napier? I am going to say that yes, it will if there just aren't enough remaining pieces in the team makeup - both skill AND leadership - to eek out a win at home with everything on the line.

    And if it results in a loss, all he will have are basically "Hail Mary" stats to stem the tide. Not purely death, just daunting as h__l. And I don't think he would be able to pull it off in the toughest league in major college football.

    As Al Davis said, "just win, baby!" Time for a bit more resolution and less worrying whether a floor in your building isn't completely level. CLARITY is the name going forward. Stubbornness is the game of Mus-takes and Dumbos. Do NOT fall into their trap.

    This is a game where the Team really needs fans to be amped & cheering them to victory.
