TUSCALOOSA - Get ready for hyperbole. When Alabama plays host to Arkansas at 2:30 p.m. CDT Saturday (CBS), as expected, a great defense will be challenged by a very good offense.

Through three games this season, Alabama is ranked No. 2 in the nation in scoring defense (6 ppg). Arkansas is ranked No. 8 in scoring (47 ppg).

The Crimson Tide is ranked No. 3 in total defense (170 yards per game). The Razorbacks are ranked No. 11 in total offense (517.33).

Alabama is ranked No. 5 in passing defense (114.67 yards per game) and No. 2 in passing efficiency defense. Arkansas is ranked No. 8 in passing offense (346.67 yards per game).

It seems that our defense will have to get kick started Saturday to get us good field position. Our offense and their defense seems almost even but there is room for improvement for us, for them i don't know. OH, chilling thought, could the kicking game be the answer to this game? If so I am going to say our Kicking Game is better than theirs.
I think we win with good O-line play and Hard-nosed defense. We are going to find out, what we know, the SEC is going to be a lot harder than the cupcakes. Time to buckle up, and get filled with Red Bull. RTR!

They have racked up the offensive stats against such powerhouses as Missouri State, New Mexico, and Troy... all at home.  They have not had a road game yet, and they have a first year QB too.  These early season stats are meaningless for both sides, but at least we played Penn State on the road.

You are right, SC. I think we just played PSU in name only though. We about to witness one of bama's best defensive games (think MichSt type).

The great thing is, like Coach Bryant said, a good defense will beat a good offense.
