in my final SEC note of the day, Arkansas linebacker/safety Ross Rasner had another terrific game. he led all players with a game-high 8 solo tackles (10 total), a forced fumble, and an interception in the endzone.
if you listen to the DWFs on the radio/message boards and the "expert" radio personalities in the state, you would think Rasner is "the" problem with the Razorbacks. as is usually the case, the morons couldn't be more wrong. known for his ability to play the run, Rasner has emerged as the top ballhawk on an otherwise all-afflete defense.
Rasner is second on the team with 47 total tackles (26 solo, also second on the team), leads the team with 2 interceptions, leads the team with 2 forced fumbles, and is second on the team with 3 pass break-ups. he also has 2.5 tackles-for-loss. just imagine what he could accomplish is he weren't "the worst player on the defense" as the idiot sheeple claim. :tsk:
tight end Austin Tate was also a solid part of the offense today against Auburn. he had 4 catches for 44 yards.
