Right when a team is feeling like it has the momentum and can just coast for the remainder of the year until it earns a bowl bid, Alabama comes a-knocking.

More from Arkansas Razorbacks

The Crimson Tide will wipe away the celebration of a Week 8 win over Auburn. Winning in Tuscaloosa is almost unheard of in college football and the Razorbacks will soon find that out.

A year ago, Arkansas dropped 31 points on the Tide in an ugly 34-point loss, but don’t expect Alabama to give up that kind of production this time around, even with an improved Razorback offense. They’ll be lucky to reach 20 points in this matchup with Alabama returning one of the best defensive units in the nation.

The Razorbacks will get behind early and never find a way to respond to Tua Tagovailoa and the Crimson Tide offense. Najee Harris will run wild over Arkansas all day long, too, and it’ll result in a blowout defense, but not quite as bad as last year’s — little victories, right?

Final Score: Arkansas 17, Alabama 42 (4-4, 1-4)
