Last year, the Razorbacks went to Gainesville to play the #1 Florida Gators and their star quarterback. They played tough, but ultimately left with a crushing defeat and lingering questions about a couple of horrendous calls that affected the outcome.

Throw in the fact that Houston Nutt has some sort of weird mind-meld powers over the Razorbacks (and Ryan Mallett's shaky condition and the fact that Nutt will probably unveil some random player who's been riding the bench but will turn out to be great and the fact that most of the student section will probably stay home to guard their laptops) and I'm not feeling too good about this game.
