Arkansas running back Raheim Sanders (5) carries the ball on Saturday, Oct. 9, 2021 during the fourth quarter of a football game at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss.

Arkansas’ Raheim "Rocket" Sanders has been building up his firepower all season, and he finally took off last Saturday in the Razorbacks' 52-51 loss at Ole Miss.

Sanders (6-2, 225), a true freshman, rushed 17 times for a career-high 139 yards in the loss. It didn’t surprise the former Rockledge (Fla.) standout. He went in prepared.

“When it comes down to it, it’s like our practice," he said.
