Bryce Young, Alabama humble Arkansas

Arkansas has had a really good season and the 7-3 Razorbacks could certainly add to it in spectacular fashion with a win over second-ranked Alabama Saturday.

While this should be one of the best games of the day, it won’t be. This isn’t going to be like Alabama and LSU. The Crimson Tide will make a statement and Bryce Young will too.

Young has been spectacular for the Crimson Tide. He hasn’t had a single game this season without throwing at least two touchdowns and he won’t start Saturday.

Arkansas does have a talented running game and it has proven it can play quality football. But the Hogs were outclassed by Georgia and an Alabama team looking to score points with the College Football Playoff committee will win in convincing fashion.

There is plenty of talk about a two-loss Alabama team being a playoff contender. Well, that won’t happen with close wins down the stretch. Alabama needs blowouts and on Saturday, they get one, while Young makes his argument for the Heisman with 300 yards and three touchdowns.
