e e e e e e e e e e e e e e State team that very much thinks and and rightfully so that they could wind up in the college football playoff and based on their season last year based on them having double digit wins under Gundy eight times in his te sen that's a a good thought so you got two again different very different um opinions on where teams are going to wind up at the end of the season um apparently in in in Oklahoma uh good Chuck of sports radio this week according to JW and poto has been well they're not going to they're not going to put up much of a fight talking about Arkansas and I think for the Razer backs like you mentioned the the turnover aspect you can't let the crowd get into it early this is a weird environment it's very tight very like up like up to the sidelines and stuff and if they score Bowman or Gordon breaks off a la it might be a long day here in Stillwater Oklahoma yeah you don't want to come out and go three and out obviously you if you get the ball first man you want to go down and and and make a statement kind of take the crowd out of it early like you were saying and I think uh the team will kind of uh rally behind that and uh the defense obviously doesn't need to give up a long touchdown Drive they need to they need honestly the team that gets the most turnovers usually wins if Arkansas can force an early turnover and maybe another turnover late in the game or something I think that would bode well for them and they did a lot last year Arkansas was good at forcing turnovers this last season they just gave a bunch of fumbles up too big c yeah they they did and uh we really don't know if this defense is is like that like uh like last year's at forcing turnovers and there's a lot like I said earlier there's a lot of unknowns the offensive line is going to be tested today but you know you don't want to give Oklahoma State any any room to get the crowd going like you were saying you just want to kind of take it to him early and Tor Green's going to have to uh probably make some plays with his feet today yep all right we're gonna hear from Taylor McGregor she's going to be on the broadcast for ABC later on at 11:00 we're going to play back some s Pitman clips from this week TN green as well and I'm going to see if I can wake Mr Clay Henry up uh Klay and I had a good conversation yesterday post morning rush and I might

every Saturday with Arkansas game day five hours before kickoff Jackson Cuts right into theone touchdown Arkansas Arkansas game day is also presented by Sawyers everything for outside the house yeah coach Patrina offense is like exciting to see it's a show we going to bring a show ESP in Arkansas is Behind Enemy Lines for a showdown in Still Water thanks to centy Bank of the ozar I love Rashad Deion in that rejoin yeah colon that's a good uh a good addition we're live again from granny here in Still Water really appreciate the stadium shop on a razor back and saw your sun room being are presenting sponsors all year long for Arkansas game to hear football wise uh got a got a couple texts this morning Jacob's on his way from uh Central Arkansas and I guess he's driving uh on your way again if you if when you leave Arkansas I know some of you are listening right now on your way to Stillwater uh hit that line.com or hit that line now app you can listen to us in Oklahoma of course and listen to us to the entire way Taylor McGregor is going to join us at the bottom of the hour we got a chance to going to get a chance to to chat with her she's on broadcast for the game and like I said hopefully will get a chance to to get Klay Henry on as well um when it comes to this football game today Christian I pulled a few Oklahoma State fans in here uh Tracy who I had a conversation with before we went on he has the same score I do he has 3828 uh Cowboys in this situation but the the Oklahoma State fans I've talked to they think it's going to be a close game they do have the Cowboys edging it out though yeah uh the thing that gives me hope in this game is uh our offense seems to be a lot more cohesive this this season so far at least and they'll be tested today but Oklahoma State doesn't really have that defense that's going to shut you down the whole game you're going to score points today unless you just have one of those games where nothing goes right but from what I saw last week the creativity and the play calling and the execution I know they were doing it against uapb but I mean as long as you're executing and and and calling up the right plays uh you can pretty much have success against most defenses out there you bring up something that that I brought up I think a little bit earlier this week is and we we I feel like we've come from the angle and it's been me for the most part of how is Arkansas going to stop Oklahoma State how are the linebackers can to handle olly Gordon how is the Razorback defense which has a lot of new parts going to handle not just a veteran offensive line better a veteran offense well you also have to stop the playmaking ability as we mentioned of T greed you made a point yesterday Big C like we were talking about like where do you have an advantage if you're Arkansas and I was kind of looking up and down I was like defensive line and maybe I would say definiely tied end and probably defensive line um with Landon Jackson being who he is but outside of that you're you're not necessarily have that position group but you like the idea of a higher ceiling for ton green than Alan Bowman and I 100% agree with that I think his running ability makes him dangerous obviously he he can he can extend plays and he can turn a broken play Maybe into a a positive yardage play I mean with that speed we kind we saw it last week man he can turn nothing into something uh really quick and I know Oklahoma State's defense has a lot more speed and it's going to be a lot harder for him to turn the corner it's going to be a lot harder for him to take off on those long runs but uh he's got the speed that he can do it if he's got if he's got the uh uh the The Edge or an opening he'll hit it and uh it's good to have that in a quarterback it doesn't mean you're going to you know it doesn't mean your offense isn't going to stall out here and there but I just like having I like the quarterback having that ability to do that I know that doesn't necessarily make a quarterback great he's going to have to make a lot of good throws today he's going to have to make a lot of great decisions but I find it hard to believe that he's not going to get pressured some today and he's going to have to make some plays with his feet and I like I like K Green in that I I like I give the edge to him when it comes to the Oklahoma State quarterback Bowman um so we'll just have to see how that plays out what do you think 877 377 6963 it's Arkansas Game Day live from Stillwater this morning presented by the stadium shop on Raz your back and sawers sun rooms again going to get a chance to catch up with Taylor McGregor just one bit hopefully Klay Henry as well and what about the other games today so you got Texas and Michigan another Marquee SEC non-conference match up one sec game remain or I say remaining starting today with the South Carolina gamec going to Lexington Kentucky we're GNA get K yeah you think so oh yeah ky's gonna they're going to beat them by more than 10 okay uh South Carolina uh excuse me uh California and Auburn uh the game on the Plains middle Tennessee state in the Grove taking on Old Miss this weekend sneaky good game uh Tennessee and North Carolina State in Charlotte kind of a unique venue we're in Oklahoma the Houston Cougars are playing the Oklahoma Sooners in Gaylord Memorial not too far from here in Norman so the other games today uh Christian you're going to be watching on television col I would guess you as well you guys going to have two TVs one of the Michigan Texas game one of this Arkansas Oklahoma State game today I'm GNA probably do some switching back and forth but once that Arkansas game starts I I kind of like to get settled into that one first before I start flipping uh I definitely will be flipping halftime I think that Texas Michigan game is very interesting and man I tell you what uh going into the big house I know Texas is highly regarded and I know they got a really good good offense and a pretty pretty stout defense but I think I think Michigan wants to make this lows scoring and I think they've got the defense to do that and that crowd at at Michigan's going to help him out a lot today and you know I wouldn't put money on it or I wouldn't put a lot lot of money on it but I think Michigan surprises everybody well it wouldn't be a huge upset because I mean they're highly ranked but I think they're still not favoring their own venue so I get where you're coming from on that so it's one of those things where it's it's not often a top 10 team is is an underdog by more than a touchdown but that's where the Wolverines find themselves heading into this game in an arbor today so we're live in in still water this morning Dakota is live with us in silone Spring as he joins us on Arkansas game day I asked the question how the Hogs going to win this week particularly yesterday Dakota answer this how are the Hogs going to win later on at 11 o' so glad to be on this morning I'm gonna be honest with you state presents a little bit different of a unique challenge for the Hogs but I I I agree with you guys I think that uh I think that tay Green's probably in my opinion not just a little bit but a lot better than at the quarterback um I think OE Gordon's going to present some issues for the Hogs but uh ultimately that you can't compete with SEC dep and so I think if T can find a way and all the Playmakers AR has on offense can find a way uh to decod that 425 that uh defense that Brian Nardo likes to run over there in Stillwater I think Arkansas can come out with a W and I don't know that it'll be uh especially CL probably off wow so you're calling not only for a win but you think it could be a you think it could be lopsided Dakota I I I do and it's because you know yes Arkansas play uabb and Oklahoma State played a defending national champion in an FCS in South Dakota state but that for that game to be 44 to 20 you know southa State's not a joke and they probably they're Pro Oklahoma State's probably a little bit more banged out than uh than Arkansas is yeah because they had their shorters in almost the entire game but I I would be interested to see how much uh the how much impact Arkansas missing Patrick hudas is today as well that's a that's a great Point Dakota are you on your way to the game or are you going to be watching it in Arkansas here today or listening here on uh ESPN 995 I think we lost him I think we lost Dakota all right dakot appreciate your call Buddy you made some interesting points I think the SEC thing like this on paper this shouldn't be a game you got one team that's at the bottom of the league one team is at the top of the league you got you're going to the better teams venue and favorite and yet it's it was initially like around a touchdown now it's a little more than that but I just think that that shows you the the SEC and the the difference there I also think uh he made a point so y'all double check me on this because you got the stats in front of you uh Allan Bowman I think only threw 15 touchdowns and he threw like 14 picks last year so you're not going up against I saw that some The Reincarnation double check that for me I don't want to I want to make sure that's cited correctly but um you're not going up against The Reincarnation of Brandon weaton they're about the same age when they were in college but uh this is a kid that that Mike G he likes that's got a lot of college football under his belt and that's important but I'm not going to say he's maxed out Big C but he he definitely doesn't again can't achieve what tailin can achieve as a college quarterback I don't think yeah he doesn't probably probably doesn't have that much room to grow you probably know what you're going to get from him he's been there what seven years and uh I think the experience and just the knowledge of the of the Playbook and that type of stuff is is what you get the most out of a guy like Bowman he'll make he'll make the throws um he'll make the Deep throws the short throws intermediate throws uh but like I said he's not going to take off with his legs and if he does he's not going to probably break off a long run or anything uh he he I mean he's just one of those guys out there that he's a field General he's I mean he's not what do you call him a kind of a game manager I guess you could call it I listen I appreciate Dakota's perspective this morning he gave me some not not necessarily factual reasons but he gave me some reasons that he thinks Arkansas can win the game we got some Arkansas fans that are walking in now this morning let's see we got a text on the text line Mark is leaving Northwest Arkansas now to to make his way to still water so again I think there is a belief not just from the likes of Dakota but others that think that Arkansas has a chance to win this football game now I haven't heard many people say that Arkansas is going to win this game going away that was pretty uh that was pretty emphatic from Dakota Big C but there are some fans that think that I can see where they would think that I mean this offense looked really good last week and I don't care if you're going against air I mean to look as good as they did and score 10 touchdowns on 10 drives I mean that that's reason to be optimistic going into a game like this cuz you know your offense is going to have to be humming and there good word big buzzword huming it's going to be it's going to have to be man it really is Ryan in Prairie Grove he's a he's a man's man he's a he's a hard AR canans and worker um he is going to be cutting rice while listening to the game Ryan you're one of us man you're a radio man through and through we

a Friday and some of you are making your way to Stillwater Oklahoma where our friend Taylor McGregor is already ESPN college football reporter if you're a Cubs fan you definitely know who she is Taylor uh tuso Alabama Stillwater Oklahoma Boon P Boon pickings Brian ddy Stadium a little different than the basements of kimple Hall how's it going this afternoon I know we come a long way uh yeah you know so happy to be on the sidelines of some major college football games it was always the dream so shout out Kimo hall for getting us here Ty you're doing big things as well well shout out to Professor Foley Ricky Thon and everyone else that we had in that department wouldn't be here without him um you're working with a couple studs in Dusty dorek and and Dave Pash I don't know how Dave does anything I mean Arizona Cardinal football he's gonna be in still water with you your schedule's a mess Dusty's got a radio how do youall have time to to prepare for a game as y'all are going to be on call for this game in Still Water tomorrow yeah not a lot of sleep you know especially for me during this season uh like I'm at Wrigley taking calls with players I was talking to T and green yesterday before the game and then Cubs went on to have a no hitter and throw a no hitter I should say and uh you know we keep it moving and and wake up this morning trying to prepare a little bit more so it's something that I think we all love so it never feels like work and that's I think how you keep going it will be cool I'm I don't think this is like a a Tyra damus name but to see Conor Nolan in an actual Chicago Cubs rather than an Iowa Cubs uniform I I think we he was a little bit younger than us when we were in school but the former Arkansas quarterback good pitcher of course here in fville uh basically a call up away from being a cub I know anytime there's a Razer back that uh makes its way to Wrigley Field or any of the majors it's a big deal and hopefully Conor's the next one in line Taylor yeah I've uh met him a couple times at spring training and of course I go up to him and introduce myself and and tell him I'm an Arkansas grad so proud of what he's doing within the organization and hopefully we will see him up pretty soon so the reference to to kimple all for those that don't know Taylor and I both went to the University of Arkansas and graduated from the limpy journalism Department uh it has been along the road since then my goodness gracious uh Taylor's had a myriad of pit stops and and different reporter roles and now doing big things for ESPN and of course the Chicago Cubs with M watch Marquee Taylor you're on a call for this game tomorrow I'm really excited about it I'm going to be in town just like you are uh things have not gone well when I've been in Still Water I watched Arkansas get destroyed in basketball like in 2015 Baylor got stomped my dad's a Baylor grad back when game day was in town uh what is it about this this this stadium and and this venue that makes it tough for opponents is is one of the tightest if not the tightest in college football yeah the environment there is unique for sure I mean the fans are right on top of you and it's going to be a packed house on Saturday morning I'm really looking forward to it but look they they bring the juice and Mike Gundy has had a lot of success over a long period of time in still water it's really impressive what he's been able to consistently do with that program and I think this is a huge test for Arkansas you know they there's a lot of hype after a week one game when you put up 70 points listen it's uapb so people are aware of the competition but I think C rightfully so there's there's excitement and they'll be tested big time on Saturday Taylor if you've gotten a chance to to look at this game you were in Tuscaloosa Alabama last week for those that don't know uh you saw what real college football's like Arkansas didn't have what it needed to to get over the hump last year based on what you've looked at this roster particularly on offense is this the game that like could change maybe the fortunes for the rest of their season when you look at what Arkansas what lies ahead for the Razorbacks I I certainly think it's a really important game for the Hogs early and one thing we saw of Arkansas week one that was really encouraging was the Run game and I say that because last year they could not run the football now granted rocket Sanders their best running back was out a majority of the season but to be able to establish the run in that game was so important for the Hogs and I look for them to continue to do that on Saturday and look when people think a Bobby patrino offense they think highflying a lot of passing but I I think they want their identity to begin on the ground and you have to be able to do that in the SEC you have to establish the line of scrimmage and I think that's going to be really important on Saturday so certainly a lot of things offensively I'm interested to see the way that it all plays out but I think the Run game and establishing that early will be important toin Jackson's going to be the centerpiece there he is really the Undisputed starting running back I thought Dominion would be that he got injured a little bit and D quinon former top three um dual threat quarterback in high school started his career in Texas ended up in Utah and has now made its way to fville he's got a little bit of a chip on his shoulder Taylor I don't know if you've listened to him but uh he's going up against the best running back maybe in college football how motivated do you think he's going to be tomorrow showing that he's got a little something too look I we talked to him this week and I think certainly against olly but I think this Arkansas team overall is out to prove that this is not the Arkansas that we've seen the last couple of years 55 new players a lot of the guys on this roster who are the stars weren't around last year and don't really have to don't really care what the fans think about this team not being very good like they're out to prove that this is a new group they can they can accomplish big things in the context of this really challenging schedule ual um and I think for me when I was talking to them that's what they're more excited to prove is just that it's a new group they believe in the group of guys they have and so what better way to prove it than go out and get a win against Oklahoma State we're talking with Taylor McGregor she's going to be on call for a I keep saying ESPN she's going to be a call for the big one ABC this Saturday 11 o'clock uh Taylor also in Arkansas graduate and does a lot of stuff for the Chicago Cubs with watch Marquee Taylor You've Got the game Texas in Michigan that's the big game of the day I I listen I wish it was still water but the big game of the day is the one in in Ann Arbor between the Longhorns and the Wolverines where do you think like this game in the National eyes of college football where does it fall in the pecking order in week number two I think it's it's certainly one of the the biggest games of the weekend um it it's tough because it's in the same window as Michigan Texas um and that's a top 10 matchup but I think as far as the college football playoff is concerned with the expanded playoff this year this game is going to set the tone because a lot of people believe that Oklahoma State could potentially win the Big 12 and get into a playoff spot now they could lose this game and still get into the playoff because um you know automatic bid will come from the Big 12 but I think because of the national picture because of the expanded playoff like people want to see how good Oklahoma state is and then I think people are really curious about Bobby patrino at Arkansas look I've said this before Bobby patrino is not a good coach he is a great coach and could he help really turn around this Arkansas offense and could Arkansas make the SEC interesting this year that's the thing about this conference like there's so many teams that could provide upsets week in and week out and I think you know people will be paying attention to Arkansas to see they could be one of those teams tell you mentioned Petrino there uh I think that's only the first or second time we we brought him up today there has been like a a buy it and I know we're only a game in of the season they played a team that's much lesser quality but even wide receiver Tyron Broden T changed his profile picture to to coach patrino maybe in your conversations with guys that were here last year what is the level of difference that was maybe with Danos to to where it is week two heading into still Oklahoma so I would say the players have really bought into patrino and they like him and they trust him I do not feel that the players felt that same way about Dan Enos a year ago I think there was a lot of uh conflict between the quarterback running back and Dan Enos and probably some other guys as well and I just do not think everybody was in sync I really believe TN green believes in Bobby patrino same with jaquinn and Jackson like these guys have bought into what he can do with an offense they trust him and that's the biggest thing um for me that has that has stood out now it's easy to to have trust and everything when when things are going well and they certainly went smoothly in week one how will that pan out after week two if if the Hogs come out and do not play well we'll see but for now I think the players are really bought into to what Bobby patrino is doing and and they like him and they believe what he's doing I don't know if you caught the athletic they they did a poll with different College fan bases and Arkansas came in as one of the most pessimistic fan bases you and I both went to school there um there were friends and family that were really high of the Hogs others that were pessimistic do you think fans have a right to be pessimistic about this football program after the last decade compared to where it was when Petrino was here I think fans can feel however they want to feel I'm never going to tell a fan how they can or cannot feel the thing with Arkansas we've seen over the last decade is they've had some really big wins that signal okay this team could do some big things and then it it feels like almost immediately following one of those big wins you have a big time loss to maybe a non power four power five team and that's where maybe some of the you know pessimism comes from the fan base so like I said I'm never going to tell a fan base how to feel but I I certainly empathize with the fact it can be frustrating when your team goes out and collects big wins and then the next week you know loses to a UAB or whoever it might be at home uh nonetheless so yep it's uh it's it's part of being a college football fan only one team can win it at the end of the year Taylor I know you got a run so I got two more quick ones before you go B Knicks recently named captain for the Denver Broncos your hometown team how we feeling about what's going to happen my high this year yeah it's interesting that Broncos have been in need of a quarterback since really the pton Manning era almost a decade ago now so look um I think B knck is interesting one thing we've seen out of him is there seems to always be a lot of preseason hype with B Nick um we'll see how his game translate to the next level uh as a as a Bronco fan I I wish him the best and and certainly hope he he's able to perform well um because if they can get good quarterback play I think they could be a really good team they've got some nice offensive weapons or defense has been really good the last couple years so would love to see see uh bo take hold of that offense and the Broncos to have a nice Year all right last one Taylor you're in Tuscaloosa last week I want to know where you ate last week in Tuscaloosa and where you're excited to eat this week in Still Water Oklahoma as we let you go we ate at Chuck twice on Thursday and Friday I it was phenomenal if you're not familiar with

morning but uh guys Oklahoma say we've talked a lot about olly Gordon and stuff but typically Mike Gundy had himself pretty prolific passing offense and his time in still water it's it's a little different uh than what he had but Arkansas's defensive backs today going to get left off a lot of islands because I would guess that Travis Williams is going to stack the Box a good chunk of the game to prevent the long run yeah I think the Dbacks are going to be tested today like you just said I mean Oly Gordon's going to get some yards but I think our defense is going to bottle him in pretty well you you obviously don't want a big big run him to rip off a big run but um the dags have got to be uh on on point today shout out to Scott's wife Scott's from Fort Smith he's listening as they're

that today as they're they're making their way they want to keep listening to to Arkansas game day and our our guy Phil Elson guys as we uh we Circle back I want to play some of the stuff that we heard this week from from Sam Pitman here this morning coach Pitman has been uh talking about um maybe just the the regional importance of this game here here's what he said about the Dynamics of okah State and the Razer backs well it's exciting to my family I think I'm about 31 tickets or 32 tickets into the game you know so yeah I think it's a as well as you know Oklahoma coming into the SEC I think that will be something that's good for college football but I I think games like this are just really good for college football and and for regional football guys three more games left on the contract should this be an every year thing Big C will start with you col you can chime in as well should Arkansas okahoma State play every single year get with me after this game but uh yeah good answer I'll take that answer uh every I don't see a problem with it Oklahoma State's a is a big 12 U you can almost call them a Powerhouse now with Texas and Oklahoma out and that it's a good uh measuring stick to where your team needs to be and where they are ahead of this SEC schedule gives you kind of a it it kind of prepares you but it it's not quite what you'll see in the SEC but it it's it's the next next step closer so I like I like it I like the idea of them coming to fville too and uh experiencing our home crowd and uh when it comes to the Big 12 man they're they're they're where it's at they're formidable opponent yeah I me next team that comes to mind is what TCU Baylor uh those type of teams so uh we've already played Texas Tech um but I wouldn't I wouldn't mind seeing that but Oklahoma state would be is a good one with Gundy and uh they've typically got really good teams it's just weird last night you go and watch SMU and BYU that's now a big 12 ACC matchup I didn't think I'd ever say that about a BYU SMU game but they both here I am in 2024 they both brought that conference Pride last night with that an amazing out offensive output I'm sure the ACC was it was disgusting it was hard to watch I I couldn't finish it colon I went to bed before the game concluded because my eyes were bleeding with how bad offensively both teams were last night it did not look very good for everyone's um you know favorite future head coach in Waiting Rett Lashley for SMU but um you know I think Christian was right you know Oklahoma state is definitely one of the more Marquee teams now in the Big 12 um with Texas and Oklahoma now joining the big boys in the SEC and I think that this definitely should be a game that we should see more frequently now everyone tiing that we should have been playing this game all along you know I don't know if I would have wanted to play to Oklahoma State in the past you know five you know four or five 10 years honestly because we would have gotten beat probably every time um you know theyve been 22 I think they're 23 and three since two since 2020 at home they lost to Texas and a couple I think I mean South Alabama kind of throw that one fluke loss in there but Oklahoma State man this is a good football program and you know for Coach Pitman obviously like he said he bought 30 tickets for his family he's a Grove Oklahoma guy so it means a lot for him and we got a call this morning from Dakota um in syum Springs right there on the edge of the Border in Western Benton County that's kind of my neck of the woods too and I grew up with a lot of people that would wear that you know that dirty OU colors and those dirty you know orange the Oklahoma state grew up a lot of people like that because they're so close by and so um you know there's a lot of people in this state they're going to have their eyes on that TV this weekend and a lot of folks from across the border in Oklahoma because it means a whole lot and you know for guys like Luke has and things like that the future stuff like that you think that uh that fourstar defensive end that we got in Duncan Oklahoma Colton y wherever he's from in Oklahoma Colton Ybor is watching this weekend he certainly is because yeah Durant excuse me um because he's definitely watching because it means a lot to him because you know Oklahoma um football especially around that area you know Oklahoma state is a really good program and so gundy's built it up this is a very good program and I would love to see the Razer Backs play this game more frequently but like Christian I guess I kind of want to see how it goes after today because if you know we go over there and it doesn't look good uh you know we don't have to play them quite so frequently maybe you know we can play um Western Oklahoma or something J JT and hot spring says you could play them next year at home then go to Arlington start the rotation JT I'm gonna be honest I want these I I want to do away with neutral sight football games and honestly I mean if we're we're looking at the the Arkansas basketball schedule the home schedule's not Elite right you've got a lot of you've got a lot of elite competition You'll Play but a lot of it is neutral side games which is kind of a bummer for fans uh cuz I know what you're about to pay for CGM y'all be safe guys um as what you're about to play pay for Bud Walen tickets and donations and everything else so but I think we're going to see a lot of neutral side games because that's the draw that John caliper has I'm not a fan of neutral side football games at least for Arkansas if they want to put it for other opponents in other venues that's great just not necessarily wanting to have that for the Arkansas razor backs just I mean Christian I you and I have I would say say 100% but like you been hamburger me been L Rock I know the war morals yeah uh a treasure for us but after next year it's probably going to end I I just I mean I want the games in fville and neutral sits too and know in non-conference games too the games in Little Rock really used to mean something when the St when the stands were packed and the the the stadium was more equipped for a larger fan base but if they can't fix that then next year needs to be the last like you said the last game and uh I hate to say it because there's a lot of great memories there but I think uh that's that's basically that's why I think so highly of that or I used to think so highly of that Little Rock game is because of the the Big Time games and plays that's happened in that stadium and um but there's going to have to be a lot of improvements for me for me to change my mind on the future of Little Rock games Mason Conway texting if we don't look good today schedule Oklahoma Baptist instead I I think again I think arkon's going to compete in this game I would be shocked if they get blowed out I don't think they're going to win I think it's going to be a close game in the fourth quarter and then Oklahoma State just pulls away again 38 to 28 is my prediction I hope I'm wrong I hope that the red uh coach Sam Pitman everyone else is Happy um and I've asked the question I asked it yesterday we had Dakota and syum springs we got a couple text in this morning I want you to tell me the formula that Arkansas wins this game because you're going up against a better Coach you're going up against a better running back you're going against an overall better football team you're playing in their home stadium I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer here at 7:08 this morning um but I am asking for logical reasoning why Arkansas is going to win and I think a couple things that have been cited and I I don't necessarily disagree with them is the the SEC and the physicality that maybe Arkansas will play with u we heard coach patrino in the offseason talk about the fact that they think they can run the football and when it comes to Arkansas this season it's the belief in Bobby patr which apparently Tor green and everyone else in that offense has a lot of he demands you know Excellence you know from the quarterback position and he you know demands me to be on my p's and q's every single day and you know having no excuse and you know that trickles down you know to the to the o line to the running backs to the receivers you know just to everybody you know just having the mentality of you know we're going to score every single drive you know every single time the you know ball gets in our hands that you know the belief and you know the execution that we need that we're going to have is is like it says you know 10 out of 10 and that's how we practice every single day I I know some people like when you you think about what the old Bobby patrino was and how podin Arkansas was offensively Christian you brought it up in the first hour this is not like a just an insane Oklahoma State Defense like they're going to have an opportunity to score some points today yeah I think uh you know on paper we get a little uh maybe a little um worried just because it's a big 12 opponent and we we know it's going to be night and day from what we faced last week but that doesn't mean that this team can't be scored on they can't be thrown on they can't be ran on it's going to be a bigger challenge for the o line today the receivers are going to have to run better routes they're going to have to get open they're going to have to make catches uh in traffic things like that um but I mean that's that's what good players do that's that's what they do and they're going to have to make plays today and and and you know part of me thinks this is going to be one of those track meet type of games I don't know if that necessarily favors Arkansas but I and that's a that's a good point because I don't think it does I think Arkansas would be better off if this was like in a game of the 20s just a kind of an ugly slugfest I think that because if you get into track Meek with Oklahoma State or Gundy and I'm not listen I don't want to discredit Bobby Patrina what he's done offensively but it's in year one in game number two in his time in his second didn't in faville Gund is in year 20 right so he's and he's at home he's likely going to have an easier time scoring a bunch of points and and keeping up offensively I just think that that that that type of game um does not favor Arkansas in my in my opinion Big C yeah I I can see that because you know more times than not you're going to make a mistake here and there on the road but uh I think the the thing is is if the defense can can do what they're supposed to do and I know this is obvious obvious and but if they can do what they're supposed to do and hold them in check I think this offense will score plenty of points like I think they're going to score enough points to win to me it's the it's the defense or they going to meet the challenge today and and that speaks to your point about going making it a low-scoring game if if the defense can show up man this I mean e for either team if the defense shows up for whichever defense shows up this could be a runaway honestly for for one of the teams we've heard uh a lot about the linebackers in the offseason from Travis Williams from Darren Wilson from Marcus woods and others this is their game where they can prove that that might be the deepest group we'll find out let's go to L rock big L's called in Arkansas game day Big Lou what's going on this morning man what's up man how y'all doing good good to have you on hey I was wondering well I was thinking what y'all think about this uh them expanding War Moya stadium and playing Arkansas State there every year I think that'll draw a crowd than than uapb or UCA or something like that can they expand it you said just expand the I think and I don't want to I really don't want to go off into this but just a a quick thought on that I think it's about what's best for the University of Arkansas football program in this situation and there's really no Pro that outweighs the con of playing in War Memorial Stadium year after year when you have a venue like Donald W Reynolds raceback Stadium it just doesn't make a lot of sense to play in war memorial this is from a l rock guy in this situation but I really I don't want to dve off too much into that

welcome back to Arkansas game day it's Arkansas game day on ESPN Arkansas brought to you by the stadium shop on Razer back in feville start every Saturday with Arkansas game day 5 hours before kickoff Jackson Cuts right into the touchdown Arkansas Arkansas game day is also presented by Sawyers everything for outside the house yeah coach Patrina offense is like exciting to see it's a show we going to bring a show ESP in Arkansas is Behind Enemy Lines for a showdown in Still Water thanks to Century Bank of the ozar all we're back here from Stillwater at granny appreciate their entire team including Mr Janet that's walking by right now guys we've talked a lot of Arkansas cuz we're in still water and the the game is about three and a half hours Kay Henry's going to join us in about 10 minutes uh either y'all get a chance to take in the Packers and the Eagles last night in Sal Pao Brazil yeah me and Colton watched some of it last night um started off really bad for the Eagles man they were turning the ball over yeah uh the C the Packers couldn't capitalize they just got two fi goals out of that and then Eagles got it together on offense and uh they ended up winning the game uh that's you know that's a pretty good uh Packers team that the Eagles beat there uh was was that that was that in Brazil it looked like they were playing on slippery SL Ian I mean just like soap I mean nobody could get any footing it was kind of hard to watch for a little bit I mean they did not pick the greatest playing surface for them to play The Stadium on the inside looked really cool the fans were extremely Lively it was definitely a unique thing I wonder how Jordan love is fairing this morning I don't know I look he went down with the leg injury and they I didn't didn't hear too much about it after that I wonder what that does for the Packers season this their future this year we're uh we're toast yeah I was I was going to let I was going to let you kind of oh they're done if he's out tail tail I mean literally what was it last play of the game right if I remember that correctly and it's he I mean he's in pain that's I mean you think about a guy that just got paid a vlo not playing in Brazil anymore yes I I think well apparently gell said on an interview that they're going to try and have I can't remember if it was 15 or 30 um out of America games I just I hate that concept and I I I've said I think that we're going to say we're there there will be a day that we're live that the Super Bowls on the United States and I think it's going to be in the next 10 to 15 years I I think we're heading that direction I hate that um I get they're trying to expand Their audience I'm just not a fan of these games that are overseas and whatever um we we've talked about college football games being like at Ireland Tommy a good question is it I mean is it good for Arkansas football to like let's say you played Georgia Tech in that game I I think it's cool but I I'm just I want maybe maybe it's just because it's me I'm partial I want games here in the United States particularly in in if Arkansas's playing in them in Arkansas and and if the Packers are playing I'd just rather than play at one of the other NFL stadiums besides Lambo yeah I think it's really more of the unique Factor about playing overseas or playing outside of the country than it is for the actual facets of what Mak makes the game good or what makes the game important because they were telling all the NFL players you know don't go outside don't hang around outside on the streets in Brazil it's unsafe for NFL players for some of the most intimidating physical specimens on the planet hey don't go outside you might get jumped you might get you know your stuff stolen from you and you're in the NFL so that's not a good thing and you don't want to have to be dealing with that every time you go outside of the country and I'm not saying that that's specifically that crime is limited or anything like that but I I I think that you want to keep a lot of those games and you're right there's really not a big win there's really no wins for going over to play a game in Ireland or things like that you know unless maybe you've got your eye on you know a gym two star you know Irish running back or something like that but that's just not the case I don't know if it's the most conducive I mean it certainly is just cool that's really all it is it's strictly for them like it's it doesn't do anything for me to see us play see a see the Cowboys play in Brazil I mean it be it might be kind of cool the first time but uh you know if Dak got hurt or something that would really like got or CD lamb got hurt playing in another country not that it it can happen anywhere but I mean I'm on the fence about it as it is you feel it it's kind of like when someone gets injured in Little Rock you feel more frustrated you'll feel like well they just got hurt because it was in Little Rock so I I and the same can be said Jordan love and Brazil or other players that may have got hampered and not just Brazil but other uh venues last night all right let's come back to what's happening in Still Water just wanted to touch on that a little bit I know there's some good games on the NFL this weekend uh the Dall Cowboys will take on the Cleveland Browns in um in in in Cleveland yes man thank you um they they'll take on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday who the Dolphins take on this weekend called before we move on I really don't even know I haven't even kept up with them very much the start of the Season we've been a little bit busy but I'm sure whoever it is they'll go out there and get off to a heart hot start like they do every season they'll probably start off 5 and0 and they'll probably get to December and falter like they do every year like to yeah colon is a very uh very negative Dolphins fan so guys back to again boom picking Stadium we're live here in Still Water about a mile or so away from this Stadium I I've I've asked this question why do you think the Arkansas Razer backs uh potentially win today so what does a win do let's say that this team pulls it out against a um I wouldn't say power but a really good football pro and gr under Mike Gundy where they're nearly at a 700 winning percentage since he's been in town I mean in y'all's opinion and just keep up corked up I'll go first but what does it do and if you want to call or text in you can do so we're going to have Clay on about 5 minutes 87 7 377 6963 guys I think you might be ranked the following week and yeah I you haven't been ranked I guess since 2022 if I remember correctly so I don't know if you naturally deserve to be if I'm going to be honest but I I think you can wind up in the AP poll this following week yeah I think you go on the road to Oklahoma State you'll definitely uh turn some heads and you might get you might get you might crack the top 25 you may be number 25 but at the the rankings I mean I we love to see the number beside you know our name but it really doesn't mean anything if you as long as you keep winning you'll you'll get you'll get up there you'll get where you should be I mean I don't I don't think this the second week of the Season uh you win a game on the road it's kind of early to tell if you're if you should be in the top 25 and then you got uapb next week um so I don't know but I was wondering earlier does anybody know like gundy's record against SEC teams I I don't remember the last time pretty good it's actually pretty good um he's either slightly above 500 or about 500 he's had success bowl games there was someone that referenced I think Josh and Fort Worth referenced the uh the Texas A&M win uh he's actually done pretty decent so um I mean most I don't remember the last time he's played It Old Miss or something maybe in a bowl game or something I don't remember the last time they've even played one to be honest uh I think it's it's either slightly above 500 about 500 which is I mean you take that if you're if you're a coach outside this league I think um when it comes to matching up against that Mason and Conway says is the top 20 win ranked and tons of momentum leading up to A&M uh I mean Auburn's the the following game you got UAB at home I think you sell some more season tickets if you beat these guys and then it gives you confidence heading that game in Auburn because while this is going to be a hostile crowd today the one in Jordan ha Stadium awaiting you with 80 plus thousand people is going to be even worse so I think that you need that you need to show that you can win on the road they waited till November last year to be a ranked team in Florida which frankly wasn't that good now he still beat them in the swamp which is as we know very difficult to do but uh it was a little too late in the season unfortunately for that to to mean much all right we're going to talk with Clay Henry coming up

Arkansas Arkansas game day is also presented by Sawyers everything for outside the house yeah coach Patrina offense is like exciting to see it's a show we going to bring a show ESPN Arkansas is Behind Enemy Lines for a showdown in Still Water thanks to senty Bank of the ozar on Arkansas game day thanks for your friends at the stadium shop on Razer back in sawers sun rooms to the phones we go our friend clay Henry joins us hit that line.com senior call Miss senior radio host and uh just a good old boy clay good morning man I figured you'd be up so figured we talk a little ball with you how are you this morning I'm good you'd say senior and you you're suggesting that I'm old I I get it get it what's the what's the best what's the best policy I'm trying to think of a better way like veteran stud yeah g friend of the show okay friend of the show I'll just start saying friend of the show instead well clay we're about what you've done is just fine I'm just is okay okay all right yeah all right well we did have some of Clay's delicious cobbler I think uh I think Christian and colon were a little jealous did you get some of that uh yeah it was fantastic I uh managed to eat some as we're we're in Mountain Home earlier this week um clay that uh I'm not going to lie that that cppo lived up to the hype man that was fantastic I just need some for tail today in Still Water you know it's a it's a complex mixture uh you know it takes me days to pull that off U I'm joking it's it's pretty simple it's it's a cherry pie filling warmed up dump cake pads of butter that's all it is it's all it is but it man that's really the beauty in our world is when something is simple but but classic yeah Clay I want to I want to start with Arkansas and then we can jump to kind of what Oklahoma State brings to the table but you wrote You've wrote a couple things from different Publications in the summer talking about Arkansas's ability that Bobby thinks they're going to be able to run the football and we saw that last and I know the center of attention has been paid to olly Gordon headed into this football game but arkans SC Arkansas's got a pretty good back in jaquin Jackson that based on what I've heard from him puts has chips on his shoulder and I I would guess he's going to have a chip on his shoulder heading up to this match up against olle Gordon and Oklahoma State today well olle Gordon is the is the hype he's the you know he's the guy that everybody's talking about and uh dop Award winner I mean that's his that's you know that's the same kind of stuff Darren MCB wins um so that's that's who people are talking about out and and that seems to get the attention of the players uh going against and I I I'm guessing the running back coaches you know had little notes stuck in his locker and you know like to be sure and say hi to the great olly Gordon after the game you know it's like you know make sure he knows you're there that kind of stuff you know and I don't know that but that's what I'd be doing if I was a running back coach um it's it's a big part of the game can Arkansas run the ball because what patrino likes to do is play action and if if you can't run the ball successfully well then they're just going to sit in you know in zone and sit back and and uh collect your wide receivers and make it hard to have any you know any separation but if you can run the ball those linebackers have to scoot up then your tight end opening on play action safety is going to have to come down in the box then your Crossing patterns are open you've got you got some room in the middle to to operate because they're they're they're having to run manto man and I think Bobby offense is really really good when when they're when when uh they can run the ball it all seems to work and they're they're gonna they're going to use those backs and it won't be just uh Jackson you know I I I expect to see briland Russell out there um you know and and there's you know when uh Rashad Deion is healthy he wasn't for the first game had not practiced a whole lot I don't know his availability but he he's he's a quality SEC back as well when they have him full speed so that that's that's a big part of it and I'm I'm anxious to see if this offensive line holds up in a way that can can run the ball that know Bobby makes it easier on offensive line than than what they've done the last couple of years um they're going to be double teams there there's going to be help at the point of attack they're they're going to you know they're going to bring tight ends across they're they're going to bring their bigger wide receivers in for for for help on on sweeps um you we we'll see how it goes but I I think Arkansas will will want to establish the run and if they can they'll score points today clay I asked this question to Tommy and I just asked it a big scene colon does a a high scoring affair ra favor of the Razia backs in your opinion or do you think it's kind of a low slugfest grinding out that maybe helps Arkansas later on today well I don't know if it does or it doesn't um you know what what I do know is that that that Arkansas defense you know that uh a lot of them uh were used to having to hold the score down to win games if if this offense can score and we all think that that a Bobby patrino offense will be able to score at some point when everything meshes you know they've got a quarterback that can run in throw that's usually a recipe for for scoring points uh what what I just don't know what these wide receivers bring I I'm more confident in the backs right now than I am the wide receivers and now know I know they've added a lot of help at wide receiver that was the petrino's mission in the offseason was to you know get some guys in here um you know uh Jordan is is kind of the wild card to me you know he he was really somebody Bobby coveted and and thought that he wasn't healthy uh really until now uh but but when he is healthy that he's got that magical speed like Joe Adams that that can really uh take the top off of the defense and you hear that phrase and it's so important and it means that that the safeties have got to take a step or two deeper the way they line up well then then there's space there's space you know it's it's harder for them to get down into the box for the running game uhuh there's there's space open in the middle the tight end has got a place to to operate so that that's important in this offense and he really wanted speed now Oklahoma State's got that you know they've got the wi that's the undervalued part of this Oklahoma State team uh everybody talks about Gordon but the the wide receivers are special players and they they they have been effective and and done it in big games um so you we'll see if it can be a high-scoring game I my prediction is is in the high 20s it could be like a 29 28 28 27 game um the yeah go ahead Ty no you finish your point clay I was just gonna you're you're sorry when you have high-scoring games there's usually a reason like there's a turnover or two that gives easy points but I can remember Arkansas playing Patrick Mahomes and and Brandon Allen and those teams went up and down the field but they were slow methodical drives because the defenses were not Taking Chances and it you know the neither team stopped the other but it was like a 28 to 24 game so it was an offensive explosion but it was a points explosion so it's hard to say where is the scoreboard going to finish up we're talking with Klay Henry this morning here on Arkansas game day clay initially we we kind of wanted the running backs a little bit Jon's obviously get a start um you mentioned Rashad Deion's Health which we're kind of unaware of you think you think we'll see all four backs today is if it's the case do you think we'll you you mentioned Russell and Rody Hill of course the Forida State transfer um or do do we kind of see chop that down a little bit to maybe two or three yeah they they've got those those weapons um I think it you know if if uh Jackson's being effective and and he's not nicked up you know he's going to stay out there you they're going to go with the hot back you know does he get you know does he get 20 carries does he get 22 24 and it just depends on what is health is does he you know is he is he getting banged up or is you know is he uh going out of B at the end of long runs I mean you know I don't know that's that is hard to predict uh I think they like their back field but you know it's like I you know will Olie Gordon stay out there if he's healthy hell yeah he will and I think Jackson's that that same kind of back you you brought up this speed of of Jordan Anthony I think we've been waiting I I know we saw a little bit in the BYU game for Isaiah satania to have a coming out party um brought in a couple different concepts that Arkansas's probably going to utilize today Clay is as good as they looked in that opener I mean Bobby patrino had a lot of stuff back and I would guess that we're going to see some Jets sleep not just with Isaiah satania but maybe some more deep balls with Anthony and and Broden some of the other guys I know that um Taylor didn't have the best first throw of the game but I think you're going to see a little more uh variety later on at 11 o'clock yeah I mean it's it's when they play a big game they're going to run some Concepts that give him the wheel route too we we didn't see that good point BR brayan Russell is a guy that Bobby said really catches it well he's a big guy with speed I wouldn't be surprised to see him you know out in the in in the in that wheel route territory uh and then the guy that to me is is their their veteran the guy that uh is they're the they're probably the most confident with any receiver on the field is is lukea uh he's going back to Oklahoma to play uh I I think that uh he he's going to be primed for a big game uh he is a really good player he's he's a good blocker so I I think there's going to be a lot of combination things that you know they show that him is a blocker but he's slipping out you know in play action hard to cover that tight end when he blocks down you think it's a run play and all at once he SLI ipia um you know we we know that that Bobby knows how to to utilize a great tight end and he's got a lot of confidence in Luke HW so that that might be a guy that we see in in some critical situations and can score some touchdowns when they get in the Red Zone you you mentioned Luke and I know his twin brother Dylan clay as we wrap you up I wonder for S Pitman Grove Oklahoma not too far from here um G's mentioned the regional significance but uh the significance for for Coach being an Oklahoma guy um I know Oklahoma's the bigger main state in this state but what do you think this mean this game means to him playing back in in really his home state oh yeah I think it's uh I think it's it's it's huge you know he Co coached it Oklahoma grew up in Canton that that's closer to still water than than Grove uh canton's out in the in the in the western part of the state it's it's on a lake out there it's uh I I think that what we what we uh know about Sam is that he's proud of Oklahoma he's he's he's a proud Oki and he knows exactly what this game means to his program you know they they've been down uh if there's if there's a coach in this country that you know that was on the hot seat for the off season it starts with him yeah and he knows that and this so this is a big game it's a big game for Bobby patrino too I mean he's he's you know he's the Gunslinger this is his CH this is his chance to lift up his team that's why St for a game like this yeah no question it is and well for all the games but it's it's uh you I think I feel great about this game because they really look coached last week I think this bunch and I don't mean just Bobby Travis all these coaches you know they they've meshed and they they had this team on point last week is uapb but they look coached and their operation was smooth not a lot of lost yardage play that that will be a key today just look about lost yardage plays because if they make positive yardage on first and second down they'll convert the chains Bobby can do that third and two third and three he's got plays for that and I think they've got inside running for that so um I'm excited for the game and I I think that Arkansas fans feel a little bit better about themselves after what they've seen over the summer and and with that first game they they need to see them play well today and I I think that you you'll uh you'll find Razorback Stadium full for the rest of the year if Arkansas plays well and if they win well goad can't think of a better uh stopping point than right there we appreciate you waking up early with us and uh yep enjoy the rest of your day got you I'm listening to you hang tough buddy okay all right we'll

this game today as we get it well I put in an 18 parlay last night to see if I could just make you know make some make some quick money over the weekend thinking that I could get some score and I banked last night that Western Illinois could cover 41 points against noted football Powerhouse Indiana and they put up 42 points uh in the first half and so I lost what could have been $20,000 on just a $10 bet so but I would but on that parlay yeah I know it was never going to hit but I did have the Razer backs I took the money line on that one so I am thinking they're going to pull it off tonight money line yeah okay why did that Christian what do you I wonder why it went from to nine and a half all of a sudden like that and that is a great question and I wish I had the answer that I could just uh that kind of wor there's some collusion you know it but I I I got Arkansas winning 3427 I think they win by seven 3427 okay yeah I I wondered that same thing for those that don't know the line initially opened at like 8 and A2 then went down like 7 and A2 and now it's at 9 and a half and 10 on something places I don't know the someone some Oklahoma State fan here guys told me well T Moon's grandson bet like 5 million on Oklahoma State that's why the line went up but have no idea what uh what's happening in this situation well that's going to do it for us again really appreciate
