TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — After beginning conference play with a comfortable 55-3 victory over Vanderbilt, No. 2 Alabama will head into hostile territory this week as it faces its first SEC road test of the season with a trip to No. 20 Arkansas. The Crimson Tide (4-0, 1-0 in the SEC) is currently a 17-point favorite over the Razorbacks (3-1, 0-1) who are coming off a heartbreaking loss to Texas A&M.
Here are a few things to watch for heading into the matchup.
Another big day from Bryce?
Arkansas is organizing a “red-out” for fans in attendance Saturday. Given Bryce Young’s previous success against Razorbacks and the current state of their pass defense, he and the Alabama offense should be planning to pig out on the Hogs’ secondary.
