SEC Daily Fever: It's Offense vs Defense When Arkansas faces Alabama

SEC Daily Fever is the top SEC story of the day. Disagree? Let us know.

One of the more interesting storylines this Saturday will be seeing how effective Bobby Petrino’s offense can be against the top flight defense of Alabama.

The Hogs have scored 48 and 41 points in their first two games, but they will face a huge challenge when they travel to Tuscaloosa. Ryan Mallett looks like a potential star, but he will face pressure in this game that he did not see in his first SEC contest against a struggling Georgia defense.

The Crimson Tide has looked solid early, and many in the media believe they may actually be the best team in the conference. Virginia Tech showed an ability to run the ball on Bama, and the Razorback offense will test their mettle in defending a wide open passing attack.

Nick Saban’s club should be able to score their share of points against Arkansas’ porous defense, but how they handle Petrino’s offense will be very telling for the brutal SEC West race.
