FAYETTEVILLE — Four questions for five writers previewing Arkansas’ running backs in 2021.

Trelon Smith rushed for 710 yards in 2020. Does he reach that mark again?

Tom Murphy: Smith exceeds that mark by a decent percentage as long as he stays healthy. His work between the tackles for a shorter, “speed” back was impressive. It felt like by about Week 3 or 4 he was the de facto starter as Rakeem Boyd was slowed by his ankle injury.
