What seemed like an overthrown ball to many was another ample opportunity in the mind of Alabama cornerback Chris Rogers, whose lone outstretched arm extended just far enough to come down with a spectacular interception to put the Crimson Tide offense back on the field and finish a 49-14 victory.
Rogers’ pick of Arkansas backup quarterback Tyler Wilson last week was the fourth interception of Alabama’s rout, the other three off starter Casey Dick.
On two occasions in the first half, Dick was flat on his back and looking foolish after an Alabama defensive back made an easy juke en route to returning one of his passes for a touchdown.
“We needed (the turnovers), they were big plays in the game,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “It was great to make the big plays, and it was great to score the touchdowns.”
After two quick Tide touchdowns, a miscommunication between Dick and his receiver made a pass look like it was intended for Alabama cornerback Javier Arenas, who snatched the ball out of the air, easily shifted past Dick and 63yards later added six points to give his team a 21-0 first-quarter jump on the Razorbacks.
