There have been some notable statistics that I have come across in the week of preparation leading up to the Texas-Arkansas game in Fayetteville this Saturday.
Of course, the biggest thing is this – Texas remains in the hunt for the SEC Championship and at the end of the day, that is the only stat that will matter for the Longhorns.
However, as we eagerly await kickoff, let's run through some of the numbers that will go into this game.
***
Andrew Armstrong (WR1) vs. Texas Corners
I have 'WR1' in the title of this segment because not only is Armstrong the best wide receiver for the Razorbacks, but I think he will be a first team All-SEC wide receiver at the end of the year. Armstrong, for as much or as little hype as you have seen about him, will be the best wide receiver Texas faces this season.
At 6–4, the former DeSoto native is in year two at Arkansas after spending a season at Texas A&M-Commerce.
On top of that, Armstrong has received 8+ targets in every game this season and has eclipsed 135 receiving yards in four different ballgames already. He is as legit as they come and will test Jahdae Barron and Malik Muhammad this weekend.
Oddly, and for all the targets, receptions and yards that Armstrong has racked up, he only has 1 receiving touchdown on the season. I can't explain it other than bad luck, but Texas would surely like to keep it that way.
***
Ball on the Ground
I came across this stat with Gerry Hamilton as we were preparing for this week's State of the Program episode.
Arkansas leads the country in fumbles this season. The Razorback offense averages 2.5 fumbles (both lost or recovered) per game this season, ranking 134th out of 134 teams in college football.
On top of that, from the quarterback position alone, Arkansas has fumbled 14 different times this season per PFF – Taylen Green has 11 fumbles and Malachi Singleton has put the ball on the ground three times himself.
There should be ample opportunities for the Texas defense to take the football away.
***
Flags on Flags on Flags
This might not be a fun statistic for this game. But expect Saturday's Arkansas-Texas game to look like a Kevin Mar-called game.
Neither team has been good in the penalty conversation this year, with Texas especially having struggled as of late.
100. Texas (6.9 penalties per game)
105. Arkansas (7.1 penalties per game)
In the last three weeks, both teams are bottom fifteen in the country in penalties per game, averaging north of eight flags against.
Texas is 92nd in penalty yards per game and Arkansas is 110th.
***
Pin Your Ears Back, DL
For as athletic as the Arkansas quarterbacks are, that has not prevented opposing defensive lines from having success in the sack game.
Only two teams are worse in pass protection than Arkansas in terms of sacks allowed per game – Mississippi State and Oklahoma. Texas combined to have 11 sacks against the two of those offensive lines earlier in the season.
Most Sacks allowed per game by SEC teams:
134. Oklahoma – 4.6
122. Mississippi State – 3.2
116. Arkansas – 3.1
106. Auburn – 2.8
103. Kentucky – 2.6
Texas sits tied for 69th at 2.0 allowed per game.

One Last One...
Arkansas has allowed 881 yards passing over its last two football games.
A second consecutive big game from Quinn Ewers and that should silent a lot of pundits.
This is good stuff.
However, CJ also didn't know that Houston had two airports, and showed up to the wrong one for his flight to Meatchicken. Lulz.
The narrative from many in the CFB media this season seems to be that everyone that Texas plays is GREAT before Texas plays them, and only after Texas beats them these same people say, "Oh yeah, that team that Texas just beat, Texas only beat them because they suck & any team can beat them, not because Texas is any good," and that QE was beating up on sucky teams.
So we'll nuke piggy, and the CFB media will report that piggy sucks.
I'm still waiting for the same thing to be said if Texas wins the MNC this year: "Well, hic, hic, Texas only won the national championship this year not because they're any good, it's because, der, der, EVERYONE ELSE SUCKED, so Texas only won by default, blah, blah, blah!"

Redhawks are a 30.5 favorite over the golden-flashes, to boot. Lulz.

Dilly Dilly! This team is much closer to the 2008 team that donkey kicked Arkansas than the 2014 or 2021 teams. For those going into this game with fear and trepidation, stop being pussies.

Had to be after the 1969 team beat Arky in Fayettenam.
Mrs. Brat & I were probablythe only sober ones in that mob of 10,000 drunks thatswarmed all over old Mueller Airport to the bewilderment of the travelers in the waiting room.
Drunks filled the flight concourse and were on its roof, then swarmed out on the parking apron to surround the team plane when it arrived.
A few drunks supposedly had to be chased off the runway so the plane could land.
It was an epic evening to say the least.FWIW, Dad said that particular picture at Mueller Airport was the time after #2 Texas beat #1 Mobilehoma 28-7 for Texas to become #1 in '63.
He added that the crowds meeting the team at the airport after huge wins happened some other times, too.

They were printing up Horns Down T shirts and caps before ou and aggy did. And they never stopped making them even after we parted ways. They hate us. Go to a game in Fayetteville and tell me it isn't a rivalry game for them. They will be more fired up than we will be and we better be ready for it.
We bank millions off of the hatred of these poor souls buying Texas merch just so they can deface it. Lulz.

Your talking 1969 and I watched that game. We went to the airport in Austin to celebrate the team's return!!! 🤘
Meh to Arky = Tech
Let's play other SEC teams instead. I would enjoy blOU every year and alternate aggy and arky every year.
1+8 rotation
My Dad did that once (went to the airport after a big win to cheer the team), and was so drunk he doesn't even remember how he got to the airport, nor did he even remember being there, but one day when I showed him a picture from a Cactus yearbook that had him front and center in the picture, behind a rope line, grinning ear-to-ear, did it all come back to him that he went there to cheer some more for the team. Lulz.

Titboss' (arky coach) pre-game presser came up on my YT feed today so I watched it earlier..
He actually had the team watch '64, '69 and '91 games in an effort to get the team to give a shit about this "rivalry". It's not a question we have fans on both sides who cherish the memories, but to the players on both sides this is pretty much just a conference game.
The OU game isn't like that, and most of our players were old enough to remember aggy on T-day, and even if they don't there is the natural rivalry because the players know each other and many were recruited by both schools.
Here's my thought exercise to the olds of which I am quickly becoming myself:
aggy, pig, sooner...you can only choose two of those to play yearly, what are your choices?Some flukey 81-yard punt return TD by Ken Hatfield in '64 ain't going to make them give a shit.

The sacks didn’t prevent these mudholings. Look at those QBR’s. Keep the pocket clean and this will be over by half.
Blow them away to make get this decided in the 1st half, then GET THE STARTERS OUT because piggy will start the cheapshot-intentional-injuries of star-players to cripple our ability to win a MNC, because that's the vindictive, evil fucksticks that they are.
Again, if you're driving there, get someone to quickly stand in front of your Texas plates on your car, or these hayseeds may turn the gas pump off at your pay-at-the-pump and refuse to sell you gas.

Mobilehoma official radio doesn't take calls when they lose anymore because they're pussies.
So instead, here's a different Oklahoma City sports radio station that's about to take fans' calls on the Mobilehoma game (WWLS 98.1 FM, "the sports animal")......

$45 million buyout. Maybe, maybe not. But somebody has to write an enormous check to make it happen.
And their cash-register for buyout stuff like that from BMDs like Mr. EZ Million aren't around anymore. Million's been dead 15 years now.
