Our milestone game was a great showcase for Arkansas running back Alex Collins.
The junior back ran for 185 yards and three touchdowns, averaging eight yards per carry in the Razorbacks' 45-23 win. He also became just the third SEC back to rush for 1,000 yards in three consecutive seasons (Herschel Walker, Darren McFadden).
