Arkansas vs. Alabama Advanced Stats Preview: Hit It Hard

I’ve titled this preview after the upcoming ESPN 30 for 30 film on Razorback legend John Daly (watch the trailer). But it’s also an apt summation of what Arkansas needs to do to beat Alabama on Saturday.

I was there the last time Arkansas beat Alabama, in 2006. Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin missed a field goal that would have won it in regulation and another that would have won it in overtime before missing the extra point in double-OT that handed the Hogs a 24-23 win in Mitch Mustain’s third career start. Alabama fired Mike Shula at the end of that season and hired Nick Saban, and the Hogs haven’t beaten the Tide since.
