Getting greedy

-

Arkansas freshman tailback Javion Hunt had an 11-yard run on his first college carry last Saturday.

Offensive line coach Cody Kennedy said he thought it could have gone for more, according to Coach Sam Pittman, who ribbed Kennedy on Saturday.

“The first run, Coach Kennedy was on the headset going, ‘He missed the read,’ and he ran for 11 yards,” Pittman said. “I was like, ‘Be cool man. He rushed for 11 yards.’

“Cody’s getting the big head, you know. If we don’t get 20 yards a carry he’s like, nah. But I thought he hit it well and he went up there and ran for 11 yards.”

Hunt ran for 19 yards on four carries against Georgia Southern, giving Arkansas eight ball carriers with at least 19 yards on the season.
