If you're a fan of big plays, the game in Fayetteville was one you should have liked.
The big news, of course, is the injury to Bryce Young. It's being officially called a shoulder sprain, so hopefully he'll recover with no aftereffects.
The Razorbacks pulled the game close at the close of the third quarter, but Alabama then proceeded to get a touchdown run from McClellan and two long touchdown runs from Gibbs. One was 72 yards, and the other was 76 yards.
While the Tide did not open up the passing playbook extensively with Milroe in for Young, they also chose to run the ball to eat clock and control the game.
It worked.
We'll just have to wait and see if Young can recover and be ready for next Saturday's matchup against A&M.
If Milroe starts, we're likely to see a more run-centric game plan since Milroe is really damn fast, and they'll want to protect him a bit with easy throws. I guess the positive will be that he's likely to have all kinds of reps with the first-team offense this week.
And they recruited Milroe for a reason. He's talented but just young and inexperienced.
