2. Isaiah Spiller reaches 200 total yards

Through three games this season, Isaiah Spiller has 330 total yards. He has reached 100 rushing yards twice in Weeks 1 and 3 and that sandwiched a disappointing eight-carry, 20-yard performance against Colorado in Week 2.

Spiller’s only Power Five game was disappointing and that has fans wondering if that’s a sign of things to come in SEC play. He’ll quiet the doubters on Saturday afternoon in Arlington.

The elite running back is going to get back into the Heisman conversation against Arkansas, totaling over 200 total yards. He’ll rush for 175 yards while adding 30 receiving yards, putting some serious pressure on that Razorback defense.

It’s only a matter of time before Spiller has one of his Heisman-caliber games and I think on the big stage in a rivalry game, this has to be it. He has struggled against Arkansas a little over his career and I think this is the game that changes that.
