Alabama started off slow, tied with Arkansas at three with less than three minutes remaining in the first quarter.
All that changed when star wide receiver DeVonta Smith returned a punt 84 yards to the house for the first touchdown of the contest.
This game is still an interesting one to watch, and a four-point lead is not preferable for the No. 1 team in the nation.
The Arkansas defense is looking tough against the Crimson Tide run game, and is limiting the deep passes by Mac Jones.
While the special teams touchdown is helpful, Alabama will need to get more consistent on offense and defense if they want to win this game by a sizeable margin.
