Alabama improved to 6-0. Read more...

-- Saban liked the balance of the offense (run vs. pass). Passes to O.J. Howard and Miller Forristall "could have been touchdowns" if passes were on point. But there "were a lot of good things on offense today."

-- The early fumble "was a test of character" for this team after getting down to the 2-yard line. The running game opened up the passing game, Saban said.

-- Tim Williams got more opportunities since they played 3-4 defense. He was able to take advantage of certain matchups with blockers...

   I like it when CNS is mellow.

There were some mistakes and still some areas that need to improve, but he should be pretty pleased with the way the team played. Arkansas is a good team, and Bama handled them pretty easily.

It was a little frustrating that the defense gave up so many points and the starters had to play longer than they should have, but we shouldn't be nearly as banged up and tired as Tennessee will be next week.

Yeah, saw where you pointed that out during the game too.  Good points.
We've been fortunate this season; fewer injuries than usual thus far.  Hope it keeps up.

One thing I noticed yesterday; Tennessee players are soft.  They flopped on the field like LSU roaches, especially during the second half.  Must have had 7-8 players helped off the field, then they'd reappear a few plays later.

I suspect Tennessee will be physically and emotionally exhausted by Saturday. They've had a wild first six games and had their championship hopes pretty much shot down yesterday.

Meanwhile, Bama has had one wild game and been getting every week. The offense looks like it has really come together with almost everyone healthy now. Hurts kind of quietly had a really good game last night.  He was 13/17 for 253    yards with two touchdowns and an interception, which was the result of being hit on the arm as he threw.  The O-line was blocking well for the RBs, who took advantage for some big plays. 

I'm feeling pretty good about the next two weeks right now.

I feel good all but who will take Reuben's place at Middle Linebacker with the concusiion? RTR!

I'm sure there is a plan for this that has already been worked on in practice.  Plus, the D played a lot last night without RF.  Now they have a week to prep without RF.  If he can't go, we'll miss him as a player, but someone has to step up.  It is what it is...

  yes sir I know what you mean. I do hope your right and pretty sure you are. It's just that RF is such a force in that middle, is the reason for my concern.  , Here is hoping all things will be well. RTR!
