Alabama overcame turnovers and blocked kicks to win their conference opener. The offense had a mediocre day with Ingram going down with an injury that held him out a few quarters and Upchurch never consistent. You could tell Coach Perry was uncomfortable with how the running game was going when he had freshmen runningback Trent Richardson standing next to him almost being sent in. But he decided not to and so far Richardson still has his redshirt status.

The rush defense had a great day with many tackles for loss that put Arkansas's total rushing yards in the negative.

Next week the Tide travels to Lexington to take on the Kentucky Wildcats. Will Bama take out their frustration on the Wildcats or is this another potential trap game?
