1. Alabama scores four touchdowns in final 15 minutes to win

Arkansas will have Alabama on the ropes in the third quarter, looking to take a lead and shock the Crimson Tide much like Ole Miss almost did earlier in the year.

But much like that Ole Miss game, Alabama will realize it’s Alabama and catch fire in the fourth quarter to run away with a win. In fact, the Crimson Tide will have a three-point lead heading into the fourth and they’ll add four touchdowns to run away with a 59-28 win.

This may seem like a lopsided victory for the Tide, but this is one of those rare cases in which the final score is not indicative of just how close the game was. Arkansas will match Alabama tit-for-tat through three quarters and have an answer for every Crimson Tide score. But that magic will run out in the fourth as the Razorbacks will just be worn out by then.

Alabama will flex its muscle on Saturday afternoon, putting the Razorbacks away like everyone expected, but this trap will almost catch the Crimson Tide.
