Bama Report Card: Grading Alabama’s narrow victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks

Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports

The inconsistencies on the defensive side of the ball continued on Saturday against the Razorbacks. The Tide was stout against the run, allowing just 2.6 yards per carry to a very physical Arkansas rushing attack.

The Crimson Tide even did a good job of forcing the Razorbacks into third and fourth down situations. But Alabama could not get Arkansas off of the field. Arkansas went a combined 10-19 on third and fourth down.

Explosive plays in the passing game continued to haunt the Alabama secondary as well. Treylon Burks cooked the back-end to the tune of 179 yards and two touchdowns.

Final Grade: C-
