Alabama vs Arkansas Game Preview

Why Alabama Will Win

Did Alabama fix the glitch?

The lack of a sure-thing star at wide receiver stood out in the close call against Texas a few weeks ago, but Ja’Corey Brooks stepped up against Vanderbilt, Traeshon Holden has been okay, and Jermaine Burton is overdue to bust out.

Texas A&M couldn’t do much to get the passing game going against Arkansas – the world was all happy that Max Johnson wasn’t totally awful – but everyone else has been able to throw without a problem.

Missouri State’s Jason Shelley – a former Utah Ute – went off. South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler cranked it up, and Cincinnati’s Ben Bryant had a big day.

Arkansas won all three games, but Alabama should be able to do more on the ground to go along with Bryce Young being Bryce Young.

The Bama wide receivers don’t have to be amazing, but they should be good enough.

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Arkansas Will Win

No, really, did Alabama fix the glitch?

No, not the wide receiver one – but that matters, too. Can the defensive backs handle a downfield passing game?

Bama wasn’t tested by ULM, Vanderbilt, or Utah State, but Texas was terrific with Quinn Ewers bombing away, WR Xavier Worthy went off – at least he did before Ewers got hurt – and now it’s up to KJ Jefferson to go big right away.

The Hogs made things interesting in last year’s 42-35 loss, with Jefferson going crazy on the Bama secondary in the comeback attempt.

He has enough weapons to work with to stretch the field, the SEC’s second-best ground attack will power away, and on the other side, the nation’s best pass rush should bother Young.

What’s Going To Happen

No, really, did Alabama fix all the glitches?

Beating up on ULM and Vanderbilt might have made everyone feel okay after the Texas game, but now the team gets tested for real.

Is the offensive front really fixed after all of the issues last year? Probably not 100%.

Can the team really handle life on the road after the first time around didn’t go so well? Sure, it’s Alabama.

Arkansas will play well enough to make this interesting. The defensive front really will get to Young, Jefferson really will hit a few big shots, and …

Bama will come through, the offensive line will pound away with the ground game when it has to, and the team will get out with a very tough, very good win.

Why Alabama Will Win

Nothing is stopping this thing.

The Crimson Tide just keep getting better and better, roaring against LSU with 650 yards last week in the 55-17 win, It’s not just that the games are dominant practices, it’s that they’re essentially over by halftime, if not sooner.

Arkansas might be playing better this year, but it’s on a three-game losing streak – including a loss to LSU – allowing close to 1,500 yards over those three games with no luck defensively in any phase.

The Hogs are struggling a bit to move the chains on third downs, and the offensive style doesn’t help at all in a game like this – the O can’t slow things down.

Arkansas is dead last in the SEC in time of possession. It can strike quickly, but keeping the Bama O off the field is a must. With no real pass rush, there’s going to be a problem.

Week 15 College Schedule

Why Arkansas Will Win

Bombs away.

The Arkansas defense doesn’t have the ability stop the Tide attack, but the offense has rolled whether or was Feleipe Franks under center, or KJ Jefferson, who got the start last week against Missouri and threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score.

The offense is efficient enough to at least make Alabama keep working, and the team has been great overall at not putting itself in a bad position with turnovers. The Hogs lead the SEC in turnover margin, giving it up just twice int eh last six games.

Arkansas has to be perfect, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Could Bama be just trying to get through this and move on as quickly as possible?

The program might be all about process and focus, but the battle with Florida for the SEC Championship the week after is all that truly matters. It’s going to be a tense game with everyone holding their breath that no one gets hurt before the big battle, and just as big a concern will be a plucky Hog team that will score just enough to make this interesting … at least for a little while.
