Hogs' secondary works to get ready for Tua, Tide

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas' secondary has somehow managed to get both older and younger this season.

The Razorbacks will face their toughest challenge when No. 1 Alabama (5-0, 2-0 SEC) visits Arkansas (1-4, 0-2) on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Crimson Tide sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (6-1, 218 pounds) leads an offense averaging 54.2 points per game and presents a big-time challenge, said senior cornerback Ryan Pulley.

“I have been watching him on TV and on film also,” Pulley said. “He is the real deal. He can makes plays with his feet and also make good plays with his arm.
