Alabama is taking care of business on the road Saturday.
The No. 2 Crimson Tide has opened up a 28-7 lead over Arkansas at halftime in Fayetteville.
Nick Saban’s team has dominated the game despite losing star quarterback Bryce Young to injury early in the 2nd quarter.
Freshman Jalen Milroe has replaced Young under center and passed for a touchdown and added another on the ground.
Also impressive thus far for the Crimson Tide has been their talented young receiving corps.
Freshman Kobe Prentice has 3 catches for 92 yards in the opening half, including a 47-yard touchdown reception.

Isaiah Bond, another freshman, has added 2 catches for 76 yards.

Of course, it remains to be seen how serious Young’s injury might be.
But the Crimson Tide appear to have no shortage of playmakers on the outside regardless of who’s under center.
And with youngsters like Bond and Prentice already filling key roles, that won’t be changing anytime soon.
