No. 11 Alabama holds off late Arkansas charge in 24-21 win

No. 11 Alabama hung on for a 24-21 win over Arkansas on Saturday.

The Crimson Tide led 24-6 in the second half before Arkansas scored 15 consecutive points to pull within three with 10:59 to go when KJ Jefferson hit Rashod Dubinion for a 14-yard TD.

Arkansas got the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead with 9:45 to go after quickly forcing a three-and-out, but the Razorbacks’ drive ended before midfield when Dallas Turner sacked Jefferson on a third down.

The sack forced Arkansas to punt the ball away and the Razorbacks never got the ball back again thanks to a couple of big plays by Jalen Milroe.
