Louisiana-Monroe quarterback Kolton Browning outruns Arkansas linebacker Alonzo Highsmith (45) to the end zone for an overtime touchdown and a 34-31 victory over the No. 8 Razorbacks on Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. The Warhawks trailed 28-7 in the third quarter before the comeback.
Arkansas lost quarterback Tyler Wilson in the first half, then the No. 8 Razorbacks saw their national championship hopes almost certainly dashed in overtime as Louisiana-Monroe pulled off a stunning 34-31 victory Saturday.

"the No. 8 Razorbacks saw their national championship hopes almost certainly dashed"
Who is this guy kidding? Almost certainly dashed? Unless JLS lost on purpose to try and lull Alabama into a sense of complaceny, I think you can take the "almost" out of that sentence.

Wow, I had not thought of that! A throwaway loss to fool those Tide boys into thinking we have a lackluster defense. Brilliant strategy, indeed! Just wait until our D as well as our offense REALLY show up next weekend in Fayetteville! Those Bama boys better be on top of their game.

Yeah, I bet we have Alabama quaking in their cleats. Maybe they will be too busy laughting hysterically to play ball.

I find this ironic:
Smith rattled off a litany of reasons for the upset.
The primary reason I see for the upset was a lack of coaching by all the staff and no leadership by Smith himself. If he's stepped up and said this was on me on down, I'd been happen with him. I didn't see that happen today in his presser. This man needs to go.
