Alabama went into Fayetteville in Week 6 and took care of business, blowing away Arkansas 49-30.

On the offensive side of the football, with freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts in complete control, the Crimson Tide both ran and threw for over 250 yards. Not only are they balanced, but they make explosive plays.

And then defensively, ‘Bama terrorized Razorbacks quarterback Austin Allen from start to finish. Ignore the fact that he threw for an even 400 yards and 3 touchdowns — he was in desperation mode trailing by double digits all night. The Tide forced five turnovers and returned two of them for TDs of their own.

Now 6-0, atop the SEC West and firmly No. 1 in the country, coach Nick and Saban and Co. look better than ever. No matter how closely you investigate all three phases of the game, it’s hard to find any sort of flaw.

Be sure to watch the video above for some quick commentary from yet another impressive victory for the defending national champions.
