In a more tightly contested battle than many might have thought, the Tide took down the Arkansas Razorbacks 24-21 in Tuscaloosa early Saturday afternoon in what was Coach Nick Saban’s 200th career win at Alabama.
Arkansas received the opening kickoff Saturday morning in Tuscaloosa looking to get on the board early and make a statement. However, the Alabama defense stepped up big on the first possession of the game, forcing a Razorback three and out. However, after the defensive stop, the Crimson Tide offense was unable to do much on their own, going three and out as well.
The Alabama offense stalled again on their next drive, this time going only 5 plays for 9-yards, and had to punt the ball away for the second time in as many possessions. KJ Jefferson then led the Arkansas offense back down the field again after completed passes to Isaiah Sategna and Andrew Armstrong for 14 and 21 yards.
