Unless Arkansas gets no running game and falls behind early. One dimensional teams have gotten themselves in to a lot of trouble in the past with Nick Saban's defenses. As long as the corners can be put on an island, which they couldn't do last year, and Alabama can shut down the running game to pretty much nothing, the defense could have a free-for-all on the QB.

Let's face it, we did not run the ball worth a shite a year ago and gave the damn game away.

"Most" teams Alabama faces do not have the talent Arkansas has at the skill positions.

btw, we average 180.5 yds on the ground. Thats not against great Ds by any stretch, but if we can grind out just 100 or so yards, we should be fine.

That's fair. But it's also a similar problem bama could have. Arkansas will just stack the box, with an already strong front 7, and force bama to throw. Do you think that'll fair well with what you've seen thus far from the passing attack?
