Three True Freshman SEC Running Backs to Watch
« on: May 24, 2013, 05:55:15 PM »
Yes...it's Saturday Down South, but it's nice to read.

http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/2013/sec-freshmen-running-backs/

Alex Collins is one of the three that they feature.

Alex Collins: Arkansas

Why he will: Bret Bielema is known for his pro-style, power offense. Alex Collins looks to be the perfect fit for this offense. In six of Bielema’s seven years at Wisconsin he had a 1,000-yard back. He even had two 1,000-yard rushers in 2010, and he has more talent with Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins to make that happen in 2013. Collins has athleticism and moves players only dream about. He looks like a cross between Trent Richardson and Todd Gurley, and he’s ready to make a splash in the SEC West.

Why he won’t: Will Arkansas be able to offset the running game with a passing game? That’s what everyone wants to know. Plus, the primary ball carrier entering 2013 will be Jonathan Williams. Collins will share carries with Williams, and it is a valid question whether or not he’ll get enough touches to even make 1,000 yards realistic. Time will only tell, but the Hogs’ offense must be balanced in order for Collins to hit the mark.

Needs to get in the weight room and really become a Trent Richardson and not just talk about it.

He was voted Broward County Athlete of the Year today.  Not bad, he's gonna be factor.

Our oline has to step their game up for either Williams or Collins to be a big factor.

My gut feeling is Kody Walker is going to have a far bigger impact than anyone realizes provided his luck holds out.

Y'all better ratchet down the expectations a bit.  Anything more than 6 wins with our schedule would tickle me shitless.

If I get to watch us in a bowl game this year it will make me a proud fan.
