The Alabama Crimson Tide are back in the hunt for conference honors after a reassuring victory against SEC West opponents, the Texas A&M Aggies, in College Station last weekend.
Next up is a clash against a talented albeit faltering opponent—Coach Sam Pittman's Arkansas Razorbacks.
The Razorbacks have had a tough start to the season, and their 27-20 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels last weekend marked their fourth straight loss. In Southeastern Conference play, Pittman's team is 0-3 as well.
Nick Saban's Crimson Tide are heavy favorites for this matchup due to the sides differing fortunes.

Who will be the starting QB for the Alabama Crimson Tide?
After starting the season shakily with no guaranteed QB1, Jalen Milroe has separated himself from the pack and has grown into the role.
Going into the clash against Arkansas, Nick Saban explained the growth witnessed in Milroe's performances in the past few weeks.
"I think his confidence, relationships and understanding with his coaches of exactly what he needs to do as a player has gone way up," Saban said. "And I think that is what has helped his performance."
Who will be the starting QB for the Arkansas Razorbacks?
KJ Jefferson is the Razorbacks' starting quarterback, and after being named to the 2022 Second Team All-SEC team, he has struggled this season, throwing at least one interception in each of his last four games.
His coach, Sam Pittman, explained the quarterback's recent struggles in the press conference before the game.
"I think he’s (Jefferson) pressing, too," Pittman said. "I think everybody could understand if he was. I think he’s pressing. It’s his senior year, a lot of things on his mind.
"He would be better at answering it than me, but that’s what I believe, that he’s probably pressing. He also has way more on, much more on his plate now than he ever has. It’s been, I’m sure, difficult for him."
With Alabama on a hot streak, this game will be a chance to win five straight games after a tepid start to the season.
