Alabama 41, Arkansas 38

I just realized that I hadn't posted my weekly Alabama update! Oh, no! Well, the Tide was able to manage a 41-38 victory over Arkansas last weekend.

Alabama dominated early, getting out to a 21-0 lead. Alabama would also lead 31-10 late in the 3rd quarter when Arkansas's Darren McFadden proved why he's the best player in the SEC (maybe the whole country), leading the Hogs to four consecutive touchdowns and a 38-31 lead in the 4th quarter. Alabama's offense then came back to life, driving down and getting a Leigh Tiffin field goal to make it 38-34. The Tide defense held, and QB John Parker Wilson drove the offense down to set up this play:



Alabama picks up their first 4th quarter come-from-behind victory in four years and moves into the rankings for the first time this season. Alabama moves to 3-0 on the season and into contention for the SEC West.

This week: Georgia.
