FAYETTEVILLE -- Things looked dire for the University of Arkansas when No. 1 Alabama scored on the first snap of the day and raced to a three-touchdown lead less than 10 minutes into the game Saturday.
Yet the Razorbacks did not fold.
Showing more pluck and imagination on offense than they have all season, the Razorbacks racked up 405 total yards and managed to turn the game into a mini shootout before falling 65-31 before a crowd of 49,273 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Alabama (6-0, 3-0 SEC), playing Arkansas as the No. 1 team for the third consecutive year and sixth time in the past nine years, dissected the Hogs for 639 total yards while stretching its winning streak in the series to 12 games.
