Shootout on the horizon

From SI.com
• The early scouting report on Arkansas: quarterback Ryan Mallett is as good as advertised (he threw for 408 yards and five touchdowns against Georgia to remain the nation's pass-efficiency leader), but Bobby Petrino's defense is horr-i-ble. With his various ailments behind him, Dawgs quarterback Joe Cox spent the bulk of the night lofting passes down field to wide-open receivers (resulting in five TDs) in a 52-41 win.
• Texas A&M has quietly undergone a massive offensive overhaul after Mike Sherman installed a no-huddle attack. Quarterback Jerod Johnson and the Aggies rank No. 1 nationally at 589.5 yards per game following wins over New Mexico and Utah State. However, A&M also gave up 521 yards to Utah State and ranks 86th in total defense. In two weeks, they face ... Arkansas. Hello, shootout.
