Nick Saban addresses "the good news" and "the bad news" following Alabama's 26-20 win over Texas A&Mhave made it through much of the panic that surrounded a Week 2 loss to Texas and a rough performance on the road at South Florida and have moved to 3-0 in SEC play, 5-1 overall.
Occasionally the Tide have had a slip-up in the secondary, but Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold have been an excellent duo at corner. At safety, Caleb Downs has come on over the past two games, grabbing an inception in each one. The offense as a whole has also been dreadfully inconsistent. Alabama has had far too many touchdowns called back for penalties this season, and it ofen seems like a positive play will quickly be followed by a negative one.
It starts with an Arkansas team that has struggled throughout the 2023 season, especially on offense. Then Alabama has two payback games in a row, facing Tennessee and LSU at Bryant-Denny Stadium to avenge last year’s two losses.
