Alabama Football vs. Arkansas Bold Prediction No. 1
Brian Robinson Jr. will carry a heavy load against an Arkansas defense that is stingy against the run. B-Rob may not get much rest with Trey Sanders’ ability for a heavier workload undetermined. The rest of the current running back roster will likely get limited snaps. Even with the extra opportunity carries, B-Rob will rush for less than 150 yards. His total production, with pass receptions, will be over 150 yards.
Arkansas Game Bold Prediction No. 2
The Crimson Tide rushing attack will be held to less than 4.5 yards-per-rush.
Bold Prediction No. 3
The above predictions are more of a statement about the Tide’s offensive line than they are a reflection of Brian Robinson’s ability. There is little reason to believe the Crimson Tide o-line will suddenly become a consistently powerful blocking machine. What they will do well on Saturday is pass protection. There may be some busts but Bryce Young should frequently have enough time to throw to second and third options if needed.
