I want to take one more look back at the 35-7 loss to Alabama before turning the page to Texas A&M later today.

It’s time to look back at the five keys to beating Alabama and how the Razorbacks fared:

1. Score Points Early: This one is pretty self-explanatory. Arkansas’ defense did a good job of keeping Alabama off the scoreboard for awhile, but the offense got nothing done itself. Arkansas failed to score in the first quarter for the first time this year … KEY NOT ACCOMPLISHED

2. Fix the Leaks: For the second straight week, an opposing quarterback had a career day. Arkansas’ secondary gave up plenty through the air once again, including an 80-yard touchdown pass (although, Rudell Crim was in good position. He just couldn’t make a play) and a 50-yard touchdown on a trick play. Arkansas has given up 8 passing touchdowns the past two games … KEY NOT ACCOMPLISHED

3. Pressure McElroy: Arkansas registered just one sack Saturday and did not get much pressure on Greg McElroy. The quarterback had plenty of time in the pocket and completed 17 of 24 passes for 291 yards with 3 touchdowns. … KEY NOT ACCOMPLISHED

4. Limit Turnovers: When you see a team score just seven points, you figured turnovers had to play a big role. But Arkansas did a good job of protecting the football. The only turnover came late, when Ryan Mallett threw an interception with the outcome already decided. It was his first interception of the season, but not bad considering ‘Bama had four picks in this game last year. … KEY NOT ACCOMPLISHED

5. Establish the Run: Arkansas showed some flashes with its ground game, but finished with a season-low 63 yards. Michael Smith led the team with 61 yards on 12 carries and nearly every other back had opportunities, too. But the biggest run of the day was an 18-yarder and that came on a third-and-25 play in the first half. Running for 63 yards against ‘Bama won’t win the game. … KEY NOT ACCOMPLISHED
