Alabama Football: Crimson Tide unstoppable in blowout of Arkansas
Alabama Football entered Week 6 looking to make quick work of Chad Morris and the new look Arkansas Razorbacks. As expected, they won in dominant fashion.
Alabama looked to continue their hot start to the season by beating up on the Arkansas Razorbacks in SEC play. With Tua Tagovailoa leading the charge the Crimson Tide offense wanted to make an early statement against Chad Morris’ team’s suspect defense.
The offense was in rhythm from the opening drive, scoring 20 seconds into the game on a 76-yard touchdown strike from Tagovailoa. Alabama scored their second touchdown off a fumble recovery after a 47-yard pass and quickly got up by two touchdowns.
Tua was dynamite and should keep his firm standing at the top of our Heisman Trophy leaderboard, as he finished the game 10 for 13 for 334 yards and four touchdowns. He has yet to throw an interception this season and could be the number one pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
Jerry Jeudy torched the Razorbacks for four catches for 135 yards and two touchdowns, and Irv Smith Jr. had two catches for 123 yards and a score. The running game looked great with Damien Harris leading the way, and the talented running back finished the game with 15 carries for 111 yards and two touchdowns.
The defense will look to fix a few things after giving up 31 to the Razorbacks, but this was easily the poorest performance of the season.
At the halfway point of the season, Alabama is now 6-0 after this 66-31 victory and face Drew Lock and a Missouri squad that isn’t ready for them. All signs point to Bama ending the season undefeated, as this offense is easily the scariest of the Saban era.
