Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas Razorbacks Last week against South Carolina, the Georgia Bulldogs narrowly pulled out a win in a shootout with their SEC rival to avoid its first 0-2 start in more than a decade.

On Saturday night, the 23rd-ranked Bulldogs look to build on their first victory and answer another defensive challenge when they visit the Razorbacks. Arkansas is coming off their best offensive showing under second-year coach Bobby Petrino.

Coming off a 48-10 win against Missouri State, NCAA odds makers have the Razorbacks at -2.5 with the total in the contest sitting 54.5.

Although the impressive win last week for the Razorbacks came against a team they were expected to beat, it was a promising start to Petrino's second year. Coming off a 5-7 finish, the Razorbacks expect to make significant
strides in 2009.

"We are a more mature team than we were a year ago and it showed in the game," said Petrino. "I approach every game the same way. You don't want to change your approach based on the opponent."

For the Bulldogs, they may have some concerns about their quarterback. Joe Cox is expected to play, however reports surfaced he was bothered by a shoulder injury.

"It's something that been with me for about a year now," said Cox. "It hasn't gotten any worse. It doesn't bother me to the point where I can't function. I still feel like I can throw the ball fine. It's just something I've been dealing with for a while."

Cox has some big shoes to fill this season. As for this game on Saturday night, take the Razorbacks and give the 2.5 points at home. They should prove to be a very good team this season.
