Tide veteran Courtney Upshaw vs. Hogs rookie Mitch Smothers

[ssmith general]

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - One of the bodyguards assigned to protect Arkansas VIP Tyler Wilson's blindside Saturday is a true freshman.


One of the Alabama hit men assigned to assault Wilson is a ferocious, veteran pass rusher.

There you have the key matchup for the Southeastern Conference showdown that pits the third-ranked Crimson Tide (3-0) against the No. 14 Razorbacks (3-0).

Or is this a potential mismatch?

Alabama senior outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw will test young Arkansas tackle Mitch Smothers. Experience will try to expose and exploit youth. A rookie will try to prove himself worthy against an all-star.

The winner of this game within a game could expedite a victory for his team.

Should paramedics be on alert Saturday?

I expect he will have a big game as well as Jesse and Gentry. There will also be multiple INT's.

Oh, please, pleeeeeeease.  I'd love that.

I think you'll see it.  They're going to pass a lot and with the secondary we have rushed passes are probably not going to end well for Arkansas.  With the D-line and linebackers we have I don't think we'll have any trouble causing rushed passes.

Upshaw and Hightower are foaming at the mouth ready to get after the freshman left tackle.

If I were playin Poker...I wouldn't want to show my hand too early. I think Bama has been sand-bagging a little, and I can almost guarantee a completely different look. Both on the Offensive/Defensive side of the ball for this first SEC grudge match. Just a hunch...jmo

Anyone think Bama might come out in a no huddle O like they did against Penn st early last year?

I see some changes coming but hard to say what.

I have to say to start in a CBP offense you have to be good but then there is #41, who is going to crash the party. I can see Upshaw having a big day and the QB will need PF Flyers on his feet. RTR!
