Same number, similar results: Boyd first Hog since McFadden to hurt Tide on the ground

FAYETTEVILLE — For the first time since Darren McFadden did it in back-to-back seasons in 2006 and 2007, Arkansas had a 100-yard rusher against Alabama on Saturday.

Wearing the same No. 5 that McFadden wore, Rakeem Boyd rushed for 102 yards on 15 carries in Arkansas' 65-31 loss to the Crimson Tide. He also caught a 24-yard pass.

Boyd is popularly known for his role on Last Chance U where he was featured as a member of the Independence Community College team in Kansas. Arkansas coach Chad Morris praised Boyd for the impact he's had for the Razorbacks in a short time.
