TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Add another frenzied chapter to the history of Arkansas-vs.-Alabama football.

No. 16 Arkansas rallied from a three-touchdown second-half deficit at Bryant-Denny Stadium for the second time in four years to take a fourth-quarter lead, but this wild, wild SEC-West shootout went to the home team.

Alabama scored on its final two possessions, including John Parker Wilson's 4-yard touchdown throw to Matt Caddell with 8 seconds remaining as the Crimson Tide snatched a 41-38 thriller away from the Razorbacks.

"You've got to give Arkansas a lot of credit for coming back in the second half," Alabama Coach Nick Saban said. "They never threw in the towel."
Alabama (3-0, 2-0 SEC ) made the first significant bid to contend with LSU in the SEC West by rallying in the closing minutes with the aid of a wall of sound provided by a sellout crowd of 92, 138.


Arkansas (1-1, 0-1 ) trailed by 21 points in both halves, but stuck to its game plan and fought back to take the lead.

"I really thought this was our game here," Arkansas Coach Houston Nutt said. "We felt like we had them very, very tired. We should have won the ballgame, no question about it. They were very fortunate."
