Alabama football score vs. Arkansas Razorbacks: Live updates from Fayetteville

Alabama football looks to score its first SEC road victory of the season with a trip to face Arkansas.

The Razorbacks have not beaten Nick Saban during his tenure as the head coach of the Crimson Tide (4-0, 1-0 SEC). Sam Pittman's squad came close to earning the first Arkansas victory over Saban in 2021, but Alabama managed to hold on for the win.

Bryce Young set the Alabama single-game record for passing yards in a game that day with 559 yards. It was one of his signature performance's en route to winning the Heisman Trophy.

Heading into this year's game, No. 2 Alabama is fresh off a dominant 55-3 victory over Vanderbilt. Meanwhile, No. 19 Arkansas' attempt at a game-winning field goal in the final minutes hit the top of the uprights and the Razorbacks (3-1, 1-1) fell 23-21.
