State of the Hogs: Clyde Scott's talent was one for the ages

FAYETTEVILLE — The question always comes up when old-time football greats are mentioned: Could they play today?

No one ever asks that question about Clyde Scott. The first three-time All-Southwest Conference player and the first All-American at Arkansas in the modern era, Scott is one of those who would meet the recruiting test for new Arkansas coach Chad Morris: Can they run a hole in the wind?

Scott could. Everyone knows his story by now. He played two years at the Naval Academy as the fullback spinner in a single-wing backfield, then moved to tailback and wing back at Arkansas.
