Arkansas A Trap Game?

Not much talk about this game. Coming off of a big win on the road, an early kickoff this week and playing our most hated rival the following week? Arkansas will give us their best game because every team does. This could be a trap game in my opinion.

If we punch them in the mouth early, game over. Their will is weak after so many losses

This. I almost feel sorry for Arky.

KJ Jefferson is still a good veteran QB and they have a couple of good receivers and a solid RB rotation. Unfortunately for them, their OLine has looked worse than Bama's so far. I'm sure they'll play their best game of the season Saturday, because of course they will. 
Doubt Bama can lose this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer than most think.

Bama playing Auburn next week?

I and a lot of other old timers hate Tennessee more.

Possibly. Big road win last week, Vols next week, 11 am start. Has all the makings of a trap game. Hopefully we will be focused on improving rather than the opponent.

I think the fact that it's Homecoming will probably help the team get focused on the game, despite the early kick and the TSIO being next week.

Just remind yourself they are also Arkansas basketball fans. There is zero sympathy from me.

while Bama is "UN"officially 15-0 (16-0 given the vacated game from 2007) there have been some very close games of late.... Coming off a hard fought road game (with a ton of penalties) and looking ahead to the UT game... as well as feeling so good about themselves and not worrying about this sub par team ahead of them... could it be a trap game? very mush so... will it turn out to be one? NOPE, nada gonna happen this time

I'm hoping the team doesn't come out emotionally flat after last Saturday. Yes, Bama could possibly lose and I just hope Bama comes out firing on all cylinders this Saturday.

Kentucky will be more of a trap game than Arkansas.

One thing I've learned is to never count a win before it happens. I feel a lot better about this team after last weekend but still don't know what to expect. I could see Bama blowing out Arkansas or I could see a close game.

Do you think media and people online determine these games?
We just are critical but nothing we do or say has any effect.

Arkansas is on par with Bama this year in terms of allowing sacks. In fact, they're below Bama is just about everything - total defense, yards per play allowed, total offense, sacks allowed, passer rating, yards per pass, etc.
This should not be a close game. Alabama is ascending.

Yeah. I think the offense knows that it has work to do and needs to be improving every opportunity it gets.
The defense is just full of hate. So....

Once again, this is a game I'd like to see the team run the ball successfully.
I know the defense will show up. I know special teams will show up.
Guess what? I trust Milroe will show up. As much grief as he's gotten, he's 3rd in the SEC in passer rating, 2nd in yards per attempt, and completing a higher percent of passes than Bryce did during his Heisman year.
Arkansas does not have a great rushing defense. They're giving up 4.63 yards a carry to P5 teams, 5.21 yards a carry on the road.
Meanwhile, Alabama doesn't have anyone averaging 5 yards a carry. This is the time to run the ball.
