Arkansas spent much of the week telling fans to be loud, and the fans did their part. It was plenty loud.
Alabama, however, was unfazed by the decibel level and wasted little time handling the Razorbacks. The noise didn’t help the Arkansas defense, which gave up over 10 yards per carry in the first half. The Hogs did force a goal line fumble on the opening drive of the game and flipped the field, but a quick 57-yard run by Damian Harris put the Tide right back where they were to begin with, and this time scored.
Offensively, the Razorbacks were actually much better than I expected.
