OFFENSE

Right tackle JC Latham anchored a front that helped account for 217 yards rushing on the day and averaged 4.2 yards/rush. He also helped back Jase McClellan rush for 83 yards, while Roydell Williams added 68 yards and Jam Miller finished with 40 on the ground. Latham did not allow a sack, hit or hurry as Jalen Milroe threw for 238 yards and accounted for three TD's.

Latham was also honored as the SEC's offensive lineman of the week.

Tight end/H-back Amari Niblack caught both his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. He also converted one first down to go with his scoring play from 29 yards out. It should be noted that Niblack's first-down catch helped the Tide continue its final drive and eat clock to secure the win.

Wide receiver Kobe Prentice led Alabama with 93 yards receiving on two receptions, including a career-long 79-yard touchdown to open the scoring for the Crimson Tide.

DEFENSE

End Justin Eboigbe was the lone defensive honoree. He made five tackles, including half a sack (-6 yards), added a pass breakup and one quarterback hurry and did his part to help hold Arkansas to just 250 yards of total offense.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Punter James Burnip averaged 49.9 yards per punt with a long kick of 59 after returning from a leg injury. He also pinned the Hogs inside their own 20 on twice.

Linebacker Quandarrius Robinson garnered a career-high six tackles, including three on the Tide’s special teams units. While at outside linebacker, he registered three tackles, including one for loss (-5 yards).
