(Fayetteville,AR) The most shocking development in this young season is not the major injury to Matt Barkley (partially torn ACL - 7 weeks), but the fact the mighty Alabama Crimson Tide are 1-2. The Tide was up 24-21 in the 4th quarter on Michigan and let the lead slip, losing 35-24. They bounced back to clobber Western Kentucky (0-3), 48-7. But then, go to D.W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium and get absolutely demolished. Arkansas was in control the whole game. "I couldn't believe the holes that were open. It seemed like they (Alabama) were blitzing every play and somehow we would block it just right and myself, KD or DJ would break a big one," senior fullback Kiero Small said.

The three turnovers were drive killers with one pass in particular being intercepted as Alabama was moving the ball with force. It was obvious Coach Jenkins wanted to keep the ball out of the hands of the Crimson Tide offense. The Hogs milked the clock and ran the ball creating the bleak situation that the Tide found themselves in going into the 4th quarter. "It feels really good to finally have us beat the Nick Saban coached Alabama team. We cannot stand that school and finally are making this a decent rivalry instead of being Bama's doormat," Coach Jenkins chuckling with ESPN.
