Arkansas running back Trelon Smith (22) carries the ball during a scrimmage Saturday, March 20, 2021, in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — The University of Arkansas got by with something last season that flew mostly under the radar.
The Razorbacks received 216 combined carries from just two running backs — Trelon Smith and Rakeem Boyd — to account for 92.3% of all their tailback carries in 2020.
Before Boyd opted out with two games remaining, the percentage was much higher, as T.J. Hammonds took 14 carries for 101 yards in spot duty after starting the season as a slot receiver.
