Alabama football coach [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] has to be pleased with the resiliency his team showed on Saturday afternoon. The Crimson Tide would lose its star quarterback [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag] early in the contest and would weather the storm of a third-quarter surge by the Razorbacks to defeat Arkansas 49-26.
The Alabama offense would need to lean on the ground game in the second half with the absence of Young and the offensive line and the backs delivered.
[autotag]Jahmyr Gibbs[/autotag] broke two touchdown runs of 70+ yards in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for the Tide. Backup quarterback [autotag]Jalen Milroe[/autotag] also had a run of 77-yards on a long third down to set up a touchdown for Alabama.
Defensively it was a bit of an up-and-down day, but to be fair they were put in some unfortunate circumstances on a couple of occasions in the third quarter.
Now that we have had time to digest the victory, let’s take a look at this week’s report card for the Crimson Tide.
First…the offense…
