FAYETTEVILLE -- At its current rate of 80 yards per game, the University of Arkansas' run game would not surpass FBS rushing leader Texas A&M's Week One production until Oct. 13 in Little Rock against Ole Miss.
That would be two weeks after the Razorbacks and Aggies, who chewed up 503 rushing yards in a 59-7 victory over Northwestern (La.) State last week, meet in Arlington, Texas.
