Initial Impressions from the Arkansas Game
John David Mercer-USA TODAY SportsRoll defense roll...
Well, it wasn't necessarily pretty, but we'll take it.
Alabama withstood some body blows from a feisty bunch of Arkansas defensive linemen, eventually wearing them down sufficiently enough to take home a 27-14 victory. The game provided reasons for concern but on some level should offer more hope for the Tide's chances. For a half, the offense was objectionable enough to warrant an NC-17 rating in mainstream theaters, yet this insane defense never came close to wilting. Offenses will have bad days and tend to be somewhat inconsistent in nature - truly elite defenses do not, and that appears to be what we have here.
