• Freshman tight end Miller Forristall recorded his first career catch for 32 yards.
• Alabama coach Nick Saban’s halftime quote when his team led, 35-17: “I’m very disappointed in the way we’re playing defense. We’ve done a great job on offense, making a lot of big plays and scoring a lot of points, but the defense just isn’t playing very well at all, not playing fundamental football in the back end, not good coverage, not executing what we need to do, busted a couple of coverages. So we need to play a lot better.”
• Alabama fumbled the ball three times and lost two of those (both in the redzone).
• Passes of at least 15 yards not counting RAC (run after catch) yards. (Note: I stopped keeping up with this five minutes into the fourth quarter, but it looked like Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen completed at least two more such throws for around 40+yards.)
  • Alabama: 2-of-4 for 44 yards
  • Arkansas: 4-of-6 for 79 yards and one interception
• Injury Report (per Saban): Reuben Foster (concussion) left the game in the second half and did not return, right guard Alphonse Taylor  also suffered a concussion and Jacobs (nerve in his elbow) was cleared to play second half after going down in the first quarter, but coaches elected to sit him.
