The University of Alabama football team put in another full-pad practice today at the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields in preparation for this Saturday's matchup with the Arkansas Razorbacks. The top-ranked Crimson Tide battles No. 16/18 Arkansas at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
The Crimson Tide is working out the game plan for the Saturday confrontation to overcome a potent and balanced Razorback attack. This Saturday begins a very tough three-game stretch for Bama. But first, it's Arkansas with a ground and air attack that is one of the best in the league, and the Tide is readying for it.
Alabama and Arkansas will meet Saturday at 6:05 p.m. CT, with the game airing live on ESPN. Joe Tessitore, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe will be handling the game-call.
