It looks like Bama gets
another SEC conference win as the Pigs of Arky come to T-Town. Bama has an 11-game winning streak against
Chad Morris’ hapless Razorbacks.
It’s Homecoming and the
Crimson Tide is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its 2009 National Championship
against the Longhorns of Texas; the only Saban squad to finish the season undefeated.
QB Tua Tagovailoa
suffered a high ankle injury against Tennessee last Saturday. The following day he underwent a procedure to
repair it and will not play against Arkansas.
Next week is a bye week and Coach Saban believes Tua will be ready for
some Murderball against the high-flying LSU Tigers who are currently ranked No.
2 in the nation.
Back-up QB Mac Jones will be starting with Tua out. Mac went 6 for 11 for 72 yards in the win
against the Vols. If he does well, it’s
entirely possible Tua’s brother Taulia may see action in mop-up duty.
The Tide’s defense and LB Terrell Lewis should be able to hog
tie the piggies’ offense given they are 10th in total offense and 11th in
scoring in the SEC. The Razorbacks rushed for only 52
yards and passed for a meager 182 yards and that inexplicable fake punt that
failed miserably in their 51-10 drubbing by Auburn.
Sadly, Coach Morris admitted the resulting interception wasn’t
the result he was looking for saying, “We’d actually been working on that for a
couple of weeks…We were going to let the rush come and just a touch pass over
the top, like a basketball shot.”
Try that again Chad.
Auburn couldn’t do anything with the interception, but Bama—they know
exactly what to do with the pumpkin.
