FAYETTEVILLE — Alabama has fared well against the kind of offense it expects to see Saturday from Arkansas.
In its last 10 games against Power Five teams that run pro-set offenses, Alabama has allowed an average of 277 yards and 12.8 points per game.
The Crimson Tide has struggled against spread offenses during the same span, allowing an average of 391 yards and 26.2 points per game since 2013.
Look no further than Alabama's two SEC games this season to see the differences against the offenses. Ole Miss had 433 yards and 43 points in an upset win at Bryant-Denny Stadium three weeks ago, but the Crimson Tide held Georgia to 299 yards and 10 points on the road last week.
