Rutgers RB Paul James to miss SMU game. I've watched this kid a couple of times and he's a stud-best player on their team. Second in country in rushing with 573 yards 7.3 yards per carry

I bet his backup is chomping at the bit to play SMU

Kind of unusual stats. He had close to 500 yards before the Arkansas game but over half of his yardage had come on 4 carries. He had 4 carries of over 50 yards each.

Rutgers will still be good but I saw a team that we can beat while watching their game yesterday.

Then watch the aggie game and we all realize we can only compete with Tulane and Memphis

James is a walk-on, if I remember correctly. Glad to see he'll be watching from the bench.

That's not true. A&M are outstanding. No one else near it on our schedule

Arkansas played with their 2nd team QB who has no arm strength and compensates for that by having no accuracy either. He missed several wide open receivers, yet Arkansas, with a very poor secondary was up 17 with about 17 minutes left in the game. Rutgers finally found the weak secondary and stacked the box and came from behind to win.
