Alabama quarterback Bryce Young passed for 561 yards and 5 touchdowns, and the No. 2 Crimson Tide withstood a late challenge to beat No. 21 Arkansas 42-35 on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The Razorbacks pulled within 42-35 when KJ Jefferson threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Raheim “Rocket” Sanders with 1:02 remaining to cap a 12-play, 75-yard drive. An onside kick went out of bounds to allow the Crimson Tide to run out the clock.
Young’s passing yards shattered Alabama’s 52-year-old program record set by Scott Hunter and were the most ever thrown against an Arkansas defense.
