OK, I'm a believer now, and I'll make good on my promise.


Actually, I was already a believer in Arkansas, but felt like Georgia would find a way to win that game today.

I was wrong, and now I'm ready to sport one of those Hog Heads when I come to town, have my picture taken with it on and post it on my blog.

So get it ready, Hog fans. I'm sure you will.

Ryan Mallett's 40-yard touchdown pass to Greg Childs was the play that propelled the Hogs to a 31-24 win against the Bulldogs, but it was a huge stop on defense that gave Mallett and Co. one final chance.

Jake Bequette's sack of Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray on third down forced the Bulldogs to punt.

That stop was huge for the Hogs because Georgia had just marched right down the field to tie the game.

With Alabama looming next week, this is an Arkansas defense that has clearly improved. Yes, the Hogs gave up some big plays, but they didn't wilt when it came time to win the game.

A year ago, they probably would have wilted.
