Collins caps great year

FAYETTEVILLE — In any other year, Alex Collins would probably be considered one of the nation's elite running backs.

Unfortunately for the Arkansas junior, he plays in a division with a couple of greats at the same position. Derrick Henry and Leonard Fournette are favorites to win the Heisman Trophy, and Georgia's Nick Chubb received more preseason notoriety before going down midway through the year.

Maybe that's the reason Collins' season has been so under-appreciated. With one game remaining, he has 1,392 yards and 17 touchdowns - numbers that rank among the all-time greatest campaigns ever at Arkansas, a school that has had its share of top running backs.
