FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas will face the biggest running back it has seen this season on Saturday in Tennessee's Jalen Hurd, a 6-4, 240-pound sophomore who was a four- and five-star signee in 2014 from Hendersonville, Tenn.
Hurd has 86 carries for 402 yards and has scored 7 rushing touchdowns and 1 receiving touchdown. Not only does he charge hard between the tackles, he also can get to the perimeter .
"He's a big, old good-looking joker, and he's hard to bring down," Arkansas linebackers coach Vernon Hargreaves said.
"He's a big, strong, physical back, and once he bounces out there he has the juice to be able to take it the distance," defensive backs coach Clay Jennings said.
