Alabama’s homecoming will be a rare 11 a.m. local kickoff as Arkansas comes to Tuscaloosa. Saturday’s contest features two teams going in opposite directions.

The No. 11 Crimson Tide (5-1, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) has been rolling through second halves amid a four-game winning streak. Sam Pittman’s Razorbacks (2-4, 0-3) are losers of four straight and have struggled on both sides of the ball. The game should be a battle of two dual-threat quarterbacks with Jalen Milroe and KJ Jefferson forcing defenses to prep for potential big plays.

There are clear areas of concern for Alabama’s offense, namely its sack and rushing numbers when compared to preseason expectations. But defensively, a dominant defense has put up matching numbers. Before Pittman and UA coach Nick Saban square off, here’s a look at their teams’ statistical rankings.
