TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama improved to 11-0 against Arkansas during the Nick Saban era Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and it was never in doubt.

Next up for the top-ranked Crimson Tide?

A chance to improve to 11-0 under Saban against struggling Tennessee this week inside Bryant-Denny.

Damien Harris started right and then cut left into open field for a 75-yard touchdown run on Alabama’s first play from scrimmage Saturday, setting the tone for a 41-9 blowout of Bret Bielema’s Razorbacks. The victory improved Alabama to 7-0 overall this season, while Arkansas fell to 2-4 overall and 0-3 in league play.

Alabama, which was coming off some second-half struggles in last week’s 27-19 win at Texas A&M, has scored in all 28 quarters this season.
