Alabama 49, Arkansas 14

/
The score pretty much says it all. Saturday's game in Fayetteville was a disaster, a total breakdown. The Hogs' lopsided loss to Bama was the worst they've suffered in years. The Crimson Tide scored 49 points, but the Razorbacks gave them 14 of those points in returned interceptions. In all Alabama picked off four passes, the lead photo being the last one of the game. Casey Dick was picked off three times and accounted for the two Bama touchdown returns. After a game like Saturday's it's really hard to optimistic about Arkansas' chances for the rest of the season.

Arkansas freshman wide receiver Jarius Wright loses the football just short of the goal line.

Arkansas linebacker Freddy Burton tackles Alabama wide receiver Mike McCoy.

Arkansas tight end Andrew Davie hauls in the Razorbacks' first touchdown of the game.

Arkansas freshman Dennis Johnson returns a kickoff.

/
Arkansas safety Jerico Nelson sacks Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson.

/
Arkansas wide receiver Greg Childs pulls down a pass from quarterback Casey Dick.

/
Arkansas tailback Michael Smith was the one solid element of the Razorbacks' offense. Smith had 91 yards on 19 carries, caught six passes for 67 yards and had one touchdown.

Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino and quarterback Casey Dick have a chat during a timeout. I hope Casey keeps his confidence in check for this weekend's game against Texas. Otherwise Saturday's game will pale in comparison to what could be in store in Austin.

Hope you enjoyed your Saturday off Z-Man. The A-Team gets back to work this Saturday. Let's pray those Texas fans are as friendly as the fans at LSU. I'm sure we'll be needing a couple of cold ones after the game. I doubt they'll be serving "Razorback Red" though.

Damn, nice shots, Marc. You beat the crap outta mine.

And, wtf is Razorback Red? This sounds like something I need to be educated on.

The A-Team better have a plan, like Hannibal, Face, BA and Murdoch because if you don't, it will get FUGLY in TexASS

Have fun.

Great stuff, Marc. I have to admit, though, I had more fun at the Happy Howlers dog walk than I think I would have had at the game. Am I getting old?

I pity the fool who gets in my way on the sidelines! :)

Andy,

be it a good game or a bad game, i'd much rather shoot a football game than a news assignment any day.
