Easy homecoming win for the Crimson Tide this week, right?
Maybe, but Arkansas State poses more of a threat on both sides of the ball than the average fan may realize, and the Red Wolves’ key strength happens to be what hindered Alabama during its cold spell down the stretch last year.

Staying consistent was a problem for the Alabama football team last year.
While sometimes manhandling good Southeastern Conference schools, a 41-17 blowout of a ranked Tennessee team for example, Alabama also struggled at home against small-conference schools such as Houston and Louisiana-Monroe.

1. Chicago- Michael Beasley, PF Kansas State
