No. 2 Alabama Football (5-0, 2-0) won in a hostile environment against the No. 20 Arkansas Razorbacks (3-2,1-2) despite losing starting quarterback Bryce Young in the second quarter to a sprained shoulder.
During the post-game press conference, Alabama head coach Nick Saban spoke on Young’s injury,
"“He couldn’t go back in the game today because I didn’t think he had much steam throwing the ball. He’s had these before and in a few days he’s responded really well. We’ll just have to see how it goes."
There was no reason to fret. Jalen Milroe came in and played masterfully in his stead, with 65 yards passing and 91 yards rushing, and two total touchdowns. His 77-yard scamper at the beginning of the fourth quarter gave the Crimson Tide life when the momentum swung heavily in the Razorbacks’ direction after a 16-point third quarter.
Jahmyr Gibbs slammed the door shut on an Arkansas victory with two devastating 70-plus yard touchdowns.

It was not a new Alabama football single-game rushing record for Gibbs, but he joined a small Alabama Crimson Tide 200 rushing yards club.
