'They make a lot of explosive plays,' Alabama Crimson Tide football Coach Nick Saban said the Arkansas Razorbacks. '(Head coach Sam Pittman’s) done a great job there, to me. They play with toughness.'
Alabama embarks on a stretch of four straight games against ranked opponents. First up is Sam Pittman and Arkansas.
Why does Nick Saban think going on the road to Razorback Stadium is the Tide’s “toughest challenge” to date? How are players readying for a reunion with transfer Drew Sanders? On Arkansas QB KJ Jefferson: “I’ve got a tremendous amount of respect for the way he plays. This guy’s pretty unique.” On the Hogs’ offensive line: “I think it’s a reflection of Sam’s personality and that’s how their whole team is and that’s what makes them really a good team. They are good, but they have mental and physical toughness and really play hard and play together as a group.”On stopping a dual-threat offense: “I think that is going to be the biggest thing this week that coach is probably going to harp on a lot. We can’t be pushed behind the quarterback. We can’t open up big lanes to have people escape.
