Arkansas had scored 23 straight points. Alabama was without Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, who went out in the first half with a shoulder injury.
A 28-0 lead dwindled to five points before the Crimson Tide offense turned on the jets. And they went full bore.

First, backup QB Jalen Milroe for 77:

The Tide wound up leaving Fayetteville with a 49-26 win and Coach Nick Saban said Young had a sprained shoulder.
