FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas' defense might not be ready to post back-to-back SEC shutouts, as the Razorbacks did late last season when they beat LSU and Ole Miss by a combined 47-0, but the unit seems to be rounding into form.
The defense kept the Razorbacks in their game at Alabama until the fourth quarter, when the Crimson Tide took advantage of a failed fake punt, an interception and a long punt return to rally for a 27-14 victory after trailing 7-3.
Even with all that working against the defense, the Razorbacks ended Alabama's streak of scoring 34 or more points at nine games.
