No. 1 Alabama 52, Arkansas 0: AJ McCarron threw for three touchdowns and Kenyan Drake ran for 104 yards and two scores as the host Crimson Tide won their 11th straight dating to last season.
Alabama (7-0, 4-0 SEC) beat Arkansas for the seventh straight time and has won 44 in a row over unranked opponents. Derrick Henry's 80-yard touchdown run with 59 seconds left capped the massacre as the Tide beat the Razorbacks by the same score last year. Alabama has allowed one touchdown in its last 18 quarters.
Arkansas (3-5, 0-4) dropped its fifth straight, handing first-year coach Bret Bielema his longest career losing streak.
McCarron completed 15-of-21 throws for 180 yards before being removed from the blowout. Drake, who needed just eight carries to go over 100 yards, broke a tackle in the backfield and jetted down the sideline for a 46-yard touchdown to make it 21-0 early in the second quarter. It was the longest run Arkansas has allowed this year.
Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, returning from a two-game suspension for accepting a short-term loan from an assistant coach, intercepted a first-quarter pass deflected by linebacker C.J. Mosley. It was Dix’s sixth career pick.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Razorbacks QB Brandon Allen hit 7-of-25 throws for 91 yards with two interceptions. … Henry rushed for 111 yards on six carries and T.J. Yeldon ran for 88 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries for the Crimson Tide. ... Alabama averaged a whopping 9.5 yards per carry and finished with 352 yards on the ground.
