Arkansas facing its biggest spread in last 20 years vs. Alabama

The Arkansas Razorbacks already faced a tough challenge this week, going into Tuscaloosa to take on No. 1 Alabama.
However, to complicate matters, it has been reported that starting QB Austin Allen will miss the game after suffering a shoulder injury last week against South Carolina.
Now, the spread has shifted to having Alabama favored by either 34.5 or 35.5, depending on where you look. That makes it the biggest spread the Hogs have faced in the last 20 years:
Holy cow. Looks like the spread has increased to 34.5-35.5 points. That would be the largest spread against the Hogs in the last 20 years.

That’s a huge spread, and it won’t be easy for the Crimson Tide to cover it, but they’ll be motivated for a big win after narrowly holding off Texas A&M last weekend.
If Allen is indeed out, it could be a long night for coach Bret Bielema and the Razorbacks as they attempt to pull off a massive upset.
