The top-ranked, 3-0 Alabama Crimson Tide of coach Nick Saban opened their SEC schedule by traveling to Fayetteville to meet the 10^th ranked, 3-0 Arkansas Razorbacks of coach Bobby Petrino.  The Crimson Tide needed 10 points in the 4^th quarter including a 1-yard touchdown run from RB Mark Ingram to secure a 24-20 victory to retain The Belt.  It took the Razorbacks just 2 plays & 0:50 to show their game plan as QB Ryan Mallett completed a 31-yard pass to WR Jarius Wright on the first play with the Arkansas touchdown coming on a 43-yard pass to RB Ronnie Wingo, Jr. for a 7-0 Razorbacks' lead.  Midway through the 1^st quarter, Ingram tied the game at 7-7 with a 54-yard touchdown run to cap a 4-play, 80-yard drive.  Arkansas PK Zach Hocker gave the Razorbacks a 10-7 lead when he kicked a 31-yard field goal late in the quarter.  Early in the 2^nd quarter, Arkansas appeared to be driving for another score before Mallett's pass was intercepted by Alabama S Robert Lester at the goal-line keeping the Crimson Tide within a field goal.  The Razorbacks stopped an Alabama drive in the same ways as Arkansas CB Andru Stewart intercepted Crimson Tide QB Greg McElroy at the goal-line to prevent Alabama from taking the lead.  Just before halftime, the Razorbacks took another McElroy interception & used it to set-up a 7-play, 66-yard drive with Mallett carrying in from a yard out for a 17-7 halftime lead.  In the 3^rd quarter, Arkansas pushed their lead to 20-7 when Hocker kicked a 48-yard field goal with 5:04 left in the quarter.  The Crimson Tide used the final minutes of the quarter to establish their dominance on the line-of-scrimmage as they drove 74 yards in 8 plays with McElroy throwing a 20-yard touchdown pass to RB Trent Richardson for the score leaving Alabama trailing 20-14 as the final quarter started.  The next Crimson Tide' drive covered 16 plays & 66 yards before stalling at the Razorbacks' 19-yard line where Alabama PK Jeremy Shelley kicked a 36-yard field goal bring the Crimson Tide within a field goal at 20-17.  Arkansas tried to hold off the comeback attempt but Mallett threw his second interception of the game to Lester which the Alabama safety returned to the Razorbacks' 12-yard line.  Ingram's touchdown came 3 plays later with 3:18 left in the game giving the Crimson Tide their only lead of the game.  Mallett tried to rally the Arkansas offense but as they crossed midfield, Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick intercepted the Razorbacks' quarterback to end the threat.  Ingram finished with 157 yards rushing with 2 touchdowns while McElroy threw for 194 yards with a touchdown & 2 interceptions.  Mallett threw for 357 yards with a touchdown but 3 interceptions & Wright made 6 catches for 131 yards for Arkansas.  The Razorbacks finished the season 10-3, ranked 12^th nationally while Alabama finished 10-3, ranked 10^th nationally.  Arkansas has not played for The Belt again.
