For starters, Arkansas likes to pound the football up the middle. The last team Ole Miss faced that played that style of grind and pound football beat the Rebels 10-7 in Baton Rouge. The LandShark D, for all its greatness, struggles against a power running attack.
Second, the game is in Fayetteville, just into the Ozarks, but it may as well be on Mars. It's a long haul to a place where people wear pigs heads as hats. This SEC West venue moreso than any other is the kind of weird trip that can mess with a team's head. Beware Fayetteville.
Third, Ole Miss is two wins away from being at least on the cusp of an SEC Championship berth or a Playoff spot. When the Rebels have that much to play for I tend to expect the worst. I know that makes me a bad Rebel, but the fear is real and I can't help it.
This game is scary. I am frightened the way only a fan can be. But also...very excited.
It's November. Greatness is on the line, and it's good to be a part of the action.
