Alabama Football: Bold predictions for the Arkansas game
By Ronald Evans
Alabama Football vs. Arkansas Bold Prediction No. 4
If Treylon Burks played for the Crimson Tide or Ole Miss, he would be an All-American. In an Arkansas offense that throws fewer passes than any other team in the SEC, Burks is still third in the league in receiving yards. The Alabama defense will give him extra attention and it will work. Burks will have less than 75 yards in receptions.
Bold Prediction No. 5
By any reasonable definition, Bryce Young will have a big day. The most frequently used Hogs’ 3-2-6 defense may drop eight into coverage, but Young will pick it apart, throwing for 300 yards or more.
Bold Prediction No. 6
The Crimson Tide will play its most complete game with strong performances on defense and offense. The offensive production will generate 40 or more points.
The last prediction is not the least bit bold. Whatever the outcome, Nick Saban and Sam Pittman will be gracious during post-game comments.
A score prediction for Saturday is a nearly four-touchdown Crimson Tide victory with the Arkansas offense finding the end zone only twice.
