I started as a power RB with Arkansas. I picked Arkansas because I'm an Arkansas fan and live very close to the stadium...

But, it's a pretty good choice for a power RB. First, it's exactly the type of RB that Bobby Petrino likes to use in all his offenses. Second, RB is definitely the weak link in the Arkansas offense. QB is 96, TE is 92, WRs are 92, 92, 89, and HB is 85.

It's also a pro-style offense. It's pass-first, which isn't necessarily what a RB likes, but you do get plenty of carries, and the runs become more and more effective as the passing game continues to work. And as an added bonus, it's a great way to get the achievement for scoring on a draw play on 3rd and 6 or longer, as the draws are pretty effective at Arkansas.

You'll run from all the usual formations: Singleback, pistol, shotgun, I-form, offset-I, goal line.
