So basically, this game played out like we would have guessed in the preseason -- Arkansas was able to run pretty efficiently, couldn't pass a lick (pre-garbage time), and couldn't stop Georgia's running game.

Granted, we didn't know in the preseason that this Arkansas team would be quite a bit better (and it is, even if the degree is diminishing at the moment), and granted, we didn't know that Georgia's running back would mainly be Nick Chubb and not Todd Gurley. So I guess that makes this a second straight surprisingly impressive Georgia performance, huh?
