Week 6 – Oct 10: Home vs. Arkansas – Bryant-Denny Stadium Tuscaloosa, Alabama (Homecoming)
The second half of the season starts once these two SEC West teams battle it out in Alabama. Last season, the Crimson Tide narrowly defeated the Razorbacks on the road 14-13.
This year, they will overpower the Razorbacks and make the home crowd happy for their annual homecoming game.
With the loss of running back Jonathan Williams for the whole 2015 season, the Hogs will have an uphill battle throughout the entire year. The biggest hump on that hill – this week 6 matchup with Alabama.
With a major hole in the running back core at Arkansas and no clear leader after quarterback Brandon Allen didn’t impress the coaching staff during early training camp, Arkansas makes it easy to pick Alabama to win this mid-season match-up.
Record after week 6: 5-1
