SATURDAY ALABAMA AT ARKANSAS

When: 3:30, CBS
Broadcasters: Verne Lundquist play-by-play, Gary Danielson analyst
The line: Alabama by 7
Why you should watch: Arkansas has aspirations of winning the SEC West; by roughly 7 p.m. Saturday, the Razorbacks will know if they are the division front-runners or stuck playing catch-up. Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett has thrown for 1,081 yards and nine touchdowns this season, but he struggled mightily against Alabama last year. He was 12-of-35 for 160 yards with a touchdown and an interception. A lot is riding on Mallett's right arm: Arkansas is last in the SEC in rushing. Heisman winner Mark Ingram returned to rush for 151 yards and two touchdowns on only nine carries in Alabama's mauling of Duke last week. Greg McElroy is leading the nation in pass efficiency, and Trent Richardson has accounted for 537 all-purpose yards and five touchdowns. The Tide's defense has allowed just one touchdown.
