Alabama Football: The key to the Arkansas game

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports

Alabama Football: Crimson Tide fans know there is one key outcome on Saturday and it does not include the final score.

Alabama football players are not advised to play it ‘safe’ in games. There is no place for reluctance or timidity in football. Playing hard and playing fast are not considered to increase the risk of injury. Just the opposite is presumed, but going along with the presumption is a need to play smart.

Failing to tackle correctly can injure a defensive player. Disdaining a slide is usually foolish for a quarterback.
