TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The University of Alabama football team worked for two hours in full pads at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields on Wednesday afternoon. The team continues to prepare for its road contest with No. 16/18 Arkansas.
The Tide continued to work on its game plan to counter a balanced Razorback offense that ranks among the best in the conference both on the ground and through the air. The SEC West rivals are scheduled for a 6:05 p.m. CT kickoff at Reynolds Razorback Stadium with the game airing on ESPN. Joe Tessitore and Todd Blackledge will call the action from the booth with Holly Rowe covering the sidelines.
Alabama holds the all-time series advantage, 16-8 (19-7 before forfeited and vacated games), and has won the last nine matchups between the two squads. The Tide has also won four consecutive meetings in Fayetteville, outscoring the Razorbacks 139-47 over that span. Last season, Alabama posted a 27-14 Homecoming win over Arkansas at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
