Arkansas must adjust backfield following Williams' injury

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas coach Bret Bielema talked repeatedly throughout the summer and preseason about how lucky the Razorbacks were to have such depth at running back entering this season.

That depth is about to be tested again following the announcement on Monday that freshman running back Rawleigh Williams is out for the season with a neck injury he suffered in a four-overtime, 54-46 win over Auburn.

Williams was injured in the third quarter and taken from the field on a stretcher. He had his facemask grabbed on the play before taking another hit from an Auburn player.
