2016-17 Statistics (127 total teams):
Passing offense: Alabama 252.8 YPG > Arkansas 246.4 YPG
Rushing offense: Alabama 231.6 YPG > Arkansas 197.0 YPG

Passing defense: Alabama 188.0 YPG > Arkansas 211.0 YPG
Rushing defense: Alabama 68.4 YPG > Arkansas 163.4 YPG
Turnover Margin Per Game: Alabama +0.6 > Arkansas 0
Strength of schedule:
Alabama is (5-0) with wins over USC, Western Kentucky, Ole Miss, Kentucky and Kent State. Arkansas is (4-1) with wins over Louisiana Tech, TCU, Texas State, and Alcorn State. Their only loss came on the road against ranked Texas A&M.
Summary:
Alabama finally faces another test and they have risen to the challenge every time. The Crimson Tide are averaging well over 500 yards of offense per game. Their defense ranks as a top ten collective unit in college football. Arkansas has put up strong numbers this year but have played a very weak schedule. They were blown out in their only real test of the season. I think Arkansas will be competitive but ultimately fall by two touchdowns.
