Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama is once again a heavy favorite this week, this time over an Arkansas team coming off a mistake-filled loss to Texas A&M. Were the Hogs looking forward to Alabama? Guess we will find out on Saturday, but Alabama’s elite defense is a big reason for the lofty point spread.
The Commodores (3-2, 0-1 SEC) moved the ball fairly well on that scoring drive, its second possession of the game. Moving 52 yards on 11 snaps included converting a third-and-short after a nice 22-yard back-shoulder throw to Will Sheppard. That was one of just two passes that covered 15-plus yards.
