NOTABLE Alabama will be without starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who injured his ankle during the first half of the Crimson Tide’s 35-13 victory over Tennessee last week. Mac Jones, a redshirt sophomore, will make his first career start for Alabama….The Crimson Tide are ranked No. 1 for the sixth time in the past 11 meetings against the Razorbacks. Arkansas is 4-20 all-time in games vs. No. 1 teams and has lost eight consecutive games vs. No. 1-ranked teams since defeating No 1 LSU in 2007….Alabama has scored a touchdown on the first play of the game the past two seasons against Arkansas. Tagovailoa threw a 76-yard touchdown pass to tight end Irv Smith Jr. on the first play of the Crimson Tide’s 65-31 victory last season in Fayetteville, and running back Damien Harris ran for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play of Alabama’s 41-9 victory in 2017….Arkansas enters on a 15-game SEC losing streak, which is the 11th longest in league history and two games shy of the school record of 17 between 2012-14. The Razorbacks have not won a conference game since 2017….Alabama has won 13 consecutive games against SEC opponents. The Crimson Tide have not lost a home game since September 2015….Alabama receivers Jerry Jeudy Jr., Henry Ruggs III and DaVonta Smith all have 100-yard receiving games this season. Jeudy was the 2018 Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation’s best receiver….Arkansas could be without two starting offensive linemen this week. Left guard Austin Capps will not play while he remains in concussion protocol, and left tackle Colton Jackson is doubtful with a back injury….Arkansas has not named a starting quarterback for the game. Ben Hicks, who started last week against Auburn, was limited in practice this week with a shoulder injury….Alabama coach Nick Saban is 15-2 all-time vs. Arkansas and his teams have won 14 straight over the Razorbacks by an average of 25.5 points. Saban has won all 12 games over Arkansas while at Alabama, and was 3-2 while LSU’s coach from 2000-04. The Razorbacks last defeated a Saban-coached team in 2002, and last defeated Alabama in 2006. Arkansas has not won in Tuscaloosa since 2003.
