The Alabama Crimson Tide will play their second night game of the season when they take on the Arkansas Razorbacks in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. Touchdown Alabama’s staff predicts how this game will play out:
STEPHEN M. SMITH / SENIOR REPORTER
Alabama 45 – Arkansas 10
Key Insight: Even with the rain, the idea will be to see Mac Jones build some tape, throwing the ball consistently and showing confidence in running the offense. Defensively, the goal is to play a complete game in stopping the run, affecting Nick Starkel in the pocket and challenging all throws.
Season Record: 9-2
Other Big Gam Prediction:
LSU over Auburn
JUSTIN SMITH / SCOUTING/RECRUITING ANALYST
Alabama 41 – Arkansas 7
Key Insight: Expect Mac Jones to be more productive against Arkansas as Alabama’s offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian, will put a game plan together to fit more of Jones’ strength. Alabama’s defense will look to continue to grow as they are starting to look more like Alabama’s past defenses each game.
Season Record: 10-1
Other Big Game Prediction:
Auburn over LSU
PATRICK DOWD / BREAKING NEWS REPORTER
Alabama 31 – Arkansas 10
Key Insight: Even with a backup quarterback and unkind weather conditions, Alabama should be able to scrap this one out. Especially with the emergence of the run game behind the new and improved offensive line and Najee Harris.
Season Record: 11-0
Other Big Game Prediction:
LSU over Auburn
