TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Arkansas is a rare 30-plus point underdog for today's 6 p.m. game at No. 1 Alabama.
The spread is understandable.
The Razorbacks (2-5, 0-4 SEC) have lost their past four games overall and their past 12 in a row against the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) by an average score of 41-16.
Second-year Arkansas Coach Chad Morris is making his first visit to 101,812-seat Bryant-Denny Stadium.
"We've got a great opportunity this week and a great challenge ahead of us as we build this program," Morris said Wednesday.
It is homecoming for the Crimson Tide, the defending SEC champion, who have won five national championships in the past 10 years and finished as runners-up twice.
