What North Alabama head coach Brent Dearmon said about Arkansas

North Alabama’s Lions (1-0) head to Fayetteville this weekend for the first meeting against Arkansas at Razorback Stadium, and coach Brent Dearmon framed the Razorbacks as disciplined and sound. He said Arkansas will likely be “confusing” upfront with different looks to challenge the quarterback. On offense, Dearmon pointed to Arkansas’ run-first approach, play-action off established rushing, explosive receivers, and a quarterback from the state who runs well—adding that North Alabama must contain him. He praised Arkansas defensive coordinator Ron Roberts and special teams coach Coach Lunsford for varied, schemed soundness.
