* Alex Collins ... he's already up to 113 carries, 656 yards rushing (131.2 yards per game and 5.8 yards per carry) and 6 TDs ... in any other season, he'd be on pace for 1st-team All SEC, but a couple of guys named Fournette and Chubb are making SEC history almost every week and are deserving shoe-ins for the first team. And Derrick Henry of Alabama is also having a big year -- I think he and AC will make the 2nd team, and those two would probably be the 1st-team all-league backs in just about any other conference. Definitely the year of the RB in the SEC.
After a slow start in the first 2 games, AC has been a beast over these last 3 games -- over 470 yards and 4 TDs, and he's really gotten into a nice groove with the hesitate-cut-accelerate aspect of his game. Plus, he's running better through contact and picking up 2 or 3 more extra yards to finish runs. If he had finishing speed, he'd probably be leading the SEC in rushing and TDs right now, and that is saying a lot.
* Rawleigh Williams ... just gets better every week, and I finally figured out who he reminds me of = Cadillac Williams, the stud Auburn RB from the early 2000s. Like Cadillac, there's nothing spectacular about Raleigh's game, but he runs hard and runs to daylight (for the most part, missed a couple of holes tonight), and he instinctively keeps his legs churning and falls forward to finish his runs.
Had his first C-note as a Razorback tonight (14 carries for 100 yards), and now he's up to 226 yards on 47 carries (4.8 yards per carry) and 1 TD. He's going to be a very good RB for Arkansas.
