Turning point: Milroe's run snatched momentum

FAYETTEVILLE— After falling behind 28-0 in the first half, Arkansas scored 23 consecutive points to draw close to No. 2 Alabama on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

The “red-out” crowd was in a frenzy. Momentum had flipped to the Razorbacks’ side and the Crimson Tide looked out of sorts. A false start penalty put Alabama in a third-and-15 situation from its own 20 early in the fourth quarter, and it looked like the wheels may be falling off for coach Nick Saban’s team.

That’s when Alabama back-up quarterback Jalen Milroe, who replaced injured starter Bryce Young (shoulder) in the second quarter, disheartened the Hogs with one play.
