Kenyan Drake Scores Second Alabama Touchdown

During Saturday's victory over Arkansas, the former Hillgrove standout also led the Crimson Tide in rushing.

 

Kenyan Drake gave Alabama his second six on a 12-yard run during Saturday's 52-0 blowout over Arkansas. And even though he had fewer rushing attempts than a couple of his teammates, he rushed for the most Crimson Tide yards.

The victory pushes Alabama to 3-0 and No. 1 in both the AP Top 25 and USA Today Poll

In his first college season after a career of racking up stats and winning awards at Hillgrove, Drake is in a field of five running backs in the Crimson Tide's arsenal.

Junior Eddie Lacy ran for 55 yards on 12 attemps, making it into the endzone three times against the Razorbacks, according to the box score. Freshman T.J. Yeldon had one touchdown and 55 yards on 13 attempts.

Meanwhile, on just six carries, Drake racked up 57 yards (for an average of 9.5) and a fourth-quarter touchdown.
