TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama didnt catch the upset bug that struck much of the Southeastern Conference. The top-ranked Crimson Tide looked perfectly robust in a 52-0 romp over struggling Arkansas on Saturday night, racking up 352 yards rushing, big plays and yet another stout defensive performance. AJ McCarron threw three touchdown passes, Kenyan Drake rushed for 104 yards and two scores, and freshman Derrick Henry tacked on an 80-yard run in the last minute as a final blow. The Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) rolled to a 28-0 halftime lead on a day when No. 6 LSU, No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 11 South Carolina, No. 15 Georgia and No. 22 Florida fell -- three of them to unranked opponents. Alabama didnt give fans anything to worry about, and many of them had streamed out of the stadium long before Henrys big run. "Were starting to come together more," McCarron said. "Guys are starting to do the right things. Not only on the field but off the field. Were going to class, education. Thats the most important thing. Everyones starting to buy into the process. It helps us." The Tide has won by the same margin over Arkansas two years running. Its the first time Alabama has shut out an SEC opponent two years in a row since wins over Mississippi State in 1973-74. "We pride ourselves on being a tough, relentless defence and we got it done tonight," said Tide cornerback Deion Belue, who blocked a field goal to preserve the shutout. "Having a zero at the end of the game is going to feel great. We come in to play great defence." The Razorbacks (3-5, 0-4) have dropped five straight games --the longest losing streak of Bret Bielemas head coaching career -- and were coming off a 52-7 loss to No. 11 South Carolina. "This is getting a little old," Bielema said. "Its a long way to go. We just cant have one missed tackle turn into a touchdown. It happened on two or three occasions." The Tide outgained Arkansas 532-256 in total yards. McCarron was 15-of-21 passing for 180 yards in three quarters, including touchdowns of 4, 30 and 17 yards. Drake needed just eight carries to reach 100 yards for the second straight week. T.J. Yeldon had 88 yards and a 24-yard touchdown on 12 carries. Yeldon caught four passes for 45 yards. Henry ran for 111 yards on six carries, all in the fourth quarter. The Razorbacks had allowed only eight rushing touchdowns in the first seven games, but gave up four Saturday. Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen continued to struggle in the teams fourth consecutive game against a ranked team. He completed 7 of 25 passes for 91 yards with two interceptions. "We have to stay together," Razorbacks defensive tackle Darius Philon said. "Weve still got a whole lot of the season to go." The Tide also managed to contain Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams, who both came in ranked among the SECs top seven rushers. Collins ran for 77 yards on 18 carries and Williams had 13 rushes for 48 yards. "We certainly respect their passing game but we were really trying to stop the run as much as possible," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. Alabama has allowed just one touchdown and 16 points in its last five games. The offence pounded away at Arkansas but also produced some big plays, especially in the first half. Drake bounced off tight end Brian Vogler at the line and burst outside for a 46-yard touchdown. Amari Cooper, easily the Tides best receiver as a freshman, caught his first touchdown pass of the season. He dropped one ball on the sideline then caught a near-perfect throw from McCarron on the next play for the TD. Freshman tight end O.J. Howard added a 17-yard catch for his first career touchdown in the third quarter. Defensively, Alabama got one veteran safety back but might have lost another. Vinnie Sunseri left the game with an apparent leg injury in the first quarter. He limped off the field after helping cover a kick, headed to the locker room and didnt return to the game. Free safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix returned from a two-game suspension and picked off a tipped pass for his first interception of the season after Arkansas moved into Alabama territory on its second drive. Clinton-Dix was reinstated by the NCAA on Friday after reportedly accepting a short-term loan from an assistant strength and conditioning coach. "It felt great just to be back with my team," he said.

If Jonathan Stewart runs the way he did Sunday night, Newton wont need to. Newton made a successful return following ankle surgery, Stewart ran for two touchdowns and the Panthers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 28-16 in a preseason game. Newton completed 4 of 9 passes for 65 yards and led a pair of touchdown drives before exiting late in the second quarter with Carolina (1-1) up 14-6. Stewart ran for 26 yards on four carries and made a strong case to be the Panthers goal-line back -- if not their primary ball carrier -- with scoring runs of 3 and 2 yards. Newton has been hit more than any quarterback in the NFL over the past three seasons and Rivera has said hed like to reduce the wear and tear on his franchise quarterback. "If we can run the ball effectively with the backs and not have to rely on him running we would much rather do that," Rivera said. And thats fine with Newton. "Im trying to win football games and if that is saying, Cam hand the ball off every play. Cam run the ball down the field 20 yards like a chicken with his head cut off every play. Cam drop back and throw the ball. Cam go get everybody a drink of water. ... Whatever is asked of me, I will do to try to win the football game," Newton said. Newton was rusty early. Carolinas first three possessions netted a yard and no first downs. Newton compounded the problem by overthrowing Kelvin Benjamin on a deep ball after the rookie receiver got behind the secondary. But Stewart replaced DeAngelo Williams and immediately gave the Panthers a boost with a 17-yard carry around left end. The Panthers found their rhythm after that, driving 66 and 50 yards for touchdowns on their next two possessions. "We had a slow start tonight, which is unacceptable," Newton said. "We have to stay on schedule and not waste opportunities like the shot to Benji. Kansas Citys a good football team and we didnt match their intensity early." Kansas Citys Alex Smith finished 14 of 22 for 127 yards. The Chiefs (1-1) moved the ball well early on without star running back Jamaal&nbssp;Charles, but were forced to settle for a pair of field goals -- one of them a 54-yarder by Ryan Succup.dddddddddddd "We did some good things," Smith said. "We moved the ball on a stout defence. We just didnt finish, but self-inflicted things tonight." Kansas Citys search for a reliable No. 2 receiver continues. Dwayne Bowe, who will miss the first game of the regular season because of an NFL-imposed suspension, had five catches for 62 yards but none of the Chiefs other wide receivers stood out. Rookie quarterback Aaron Murrays first NFL pass was for a 43-yard touchdown strike to tight end Travis Kelce, but he later threw an interception leading to a Carolina touchdown. Newton had to shake off some early rust. He missed on five of his first six passes and was sacked for a 13-yard loss, leading to three straight three-and-outs to start the game. Carolina benefited from a 32-yard pass interference penalty on Chiefs cornerback Ron Parker that set up Stewarts first TD -- a run in which the 5-foot-10, 235-pounder bounced off a defender and bowled his way into the end zone. Newton connected on a 24-yard pass to Benjamin over the middle on Carolinas next series leading to Stewarts second score. It was an encouraging return to the field for Stewart, a former first-round draft pick who has missed 17 games the past two seasons with foot and ankle injuries. Stewart has been limited to 516 yards rushing and one touchdown the past two seasons. "Its been a while since Ive touched the end zone," said Stewart, who sat out the first preseason game because of a strained hamstring. The Panthers had a chance to extend their lead before halftime, but Benjamin lost his cool and head-butted Chiefs defensive back Chris Owens. That cost the Panthers 15 yards and took them out of field goal range. NOTES: Chiefs WR Junior Hemingway left the game with a strained hip flexor. Coach Andy Reid said Hemingway he will re-evaluated Monday. ... Rivera wasnt ready to declare Byron Bell his starting left tackle, but said he has played extremely well. ... Rivera pulled cornerback Josh Norman from the game after he started talking trash on the field in the first half. ' ' '
