SB Nation’s Arkansas Expats says that the Week 3 trip to Georgia is gut check time for the Hogs:
Arkansas Vs. Georgia: Razorbacks Ready For The Big Time?
The Hogs have been in the SEC for nearly 20 years now, but haven’t managed to crack the upper echelon of conference aristocracy. We’ve had some good seasons, sure, but have never had that true breakthrough. Every time we’d get close, we’d always seem to lose the next game under particularly frustrating circumstances (hi, HDN) and slide back down the hill again.
Now, I’m definitely not saying that if the Hogs beat the Dawgs then we’ll suddenly be a member of the SEC elite. Far from it...that sort of thing has to be earned game-by-game over a longer period of time. But, for the Razorbacks to ascend from a middle-tier team to one that achieves the glories that we all hope they will (and know they’re capable of) they have to consistently win games exactly like this. And Saturday would be a great place to start.
