Alabama vs. Arkansas: What it is advisable to know
1. The place Alabama goes at receiver. It is the large query dealing with this offense. The dearth of an absolute No. 1 possibility was a evident problem courting again to the Texas recreation and was simply glossed over because the Tide rolled in opposition to different, overmatched opponents. Traeshon Holden and Ja’Corey Brooks are Bryce Younger’s two major targets, as is operating again Jahmyr Gibbs, a gifted receiving again, however it will serve Alabama properly to get Jermaine Burton concerned extra: 61% of his receiving yards on the yr got here final week, he was underneath 20 yards in every of the final 2 video games, and hasn’t scored since Week 1.
2. Arkansas on the line. Going up in opposition to the Tide’s entrance seven is without doubt one of the hardest gigs in school soccer, however the Razorbacks might be as much as the duty. They’ve one of many nation’s most skilled and expert blocking formations, and have been constantly clearing lanes for an elite dashing assault. Raheim Sanders is 4th nationally with 508 yards on the bottom and is the one FBS participant with 500 dashing/100 receiving yards this yr. Hogs quarterback KJ Jefferson is a risk together with his legs, too, including 274 yards and 4 scores and is 1 of three FBS gamers with 900 passing/200 dashing yards on the season. Arkansas ran for 244 yards in opposition to an excellent Aggie entrance final week.

3. Hogs can unfold the sphere, too. Boasting such a reputable risk operating the ball forces protection to commit close to the road, aids Arkansas in promoting the play motion, and helps open up passing lanes downfield. And the Hogs have the instruments for simply that. Even final season, Jefferson was in a position to constantly evade the Tide’s secondary in a 7-point loss on the street. And once more, Alabama is dealing with questions within the again seven after some points at Texas when Quinn Ewers was in that recreation.

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks (6-5, 3-4 SEC) secured bowl eligibility with a 35-14 win over the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (4-7, 3-4 CUSA) on Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
The Razorback offense struggled in the first half and only scored 14 points before the two teams went to the locker rooms at halftime. Quarterback Taylen Green threw an interception, wide receiver Andrew Armstrong fumbled and the Hogs punted three times in the first two quarters.
