State of the Hogs: Top 10 keys to victory for Alabama game

Related Topics: The Hogs

FAYETTEVILLE — Upsets happen every week in college football. Last week's whopper reshaped the top 10, perhaps knocking Oklahoma out of the College Football Playoff.

The then-No. 3 Sooners lost 38-31 to the Cyclones. That was only the sixth ISU victory in 82 games in the series.

Arkansas defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads understands that series well. He was head coach at Iowa State for seven seasons from 2009-15.

“It's been ugly,” Rhoads said.

That's kind of where the Hogs are at right now, not a pretty place after a 48-22 loss at South Carolina.
