2. Rakeem Boyd rushes for 100 yards again

Welcome back, Rakeem Boyd.

After a slow star to the season in which he had just 88 yards on 33 carries, Boyd bounced back with his first 100-yard performance in Week 9 against Texas A&M. This was the first time he looked like his old self, averaging 5.6 yards per carry and reaching the end zone for the second straight game.

Well, we’re going to see more of the same in this one as Tennessee’s run defense isn’t exactly stingy, allowing over 150 yards per game.

Boyd will reach 100 for the second consecutive game on Saturday night, seizing that starting running back role again.

It’ll take Boyd about 15 carries to get there, but he’ll hit 100 and he won’t stop there. He’s going to reach 125 yards and find the end zone for the third straight contest. Why did we ever doubt this kid?
