Like Georgia, the Razorbacks live on the run game, and they have two backs who are exceptionally good at it. While many may look towards Jonathan Williams as the Hogs Heisman hopeful, I tend to think that Collins is going to be the man to get the attention this year.

Running in tandem with Williams, the two put up 2,290 rushing yards and scored 24 touchdowns on the ground. Their carries, yards and average per carry were nearly identical. You can’t go wrong with either pick, but Collins has a little less wear on his tires.

If Arkansas continues to improve the way they have over the past few seasons, Collins (and Williams) will be getting a lot of national attention.
