Arkansas mildly inconvenienced Nick Saban on Saturday, giving him something to complain about as his juggernaut program marches toward another national title.
The Hog defense was out of its league, but the offense, ranked last in the SEC by several measures, moved the ball with surprising ease against the Tide’s army of blue-chip recruits. For the day, the Hogs had three 75-yard touchdown drives, with two of them coming before the game was out of reach. Arkansas rolled up more than 400 total yards, totaled 31 points, and got its first 100-yard rusher against the Tide since Darren McFadden in 2007.
