Just finished watching a fantastic college football game. Arkansas beat LSU, 50-48, in three overtimes on the strength of an incredible effort by junior running back Darren McFadden, who finished with 31 carries for 205 yards and three touchdowns.
He also completed three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown from offensive coordinator David Lee's "Wild Hog" formation. I'm more convinced than ever that McFadden will be the No. 1 choice in the 2008 draft, but his backup, Felix Jones, is about to start shooting up draft boards.
When Arkansas was required to go for two in the third overtime, it was Jones who got the carry for the Razorbacks. He raced into the end zone, making it 50-42.
Jones could stick around for one more season and probably drive up his draft value. But according to scouts I've talked to, he might go as high as No. 15 if the draft were held right now.
Oh, and Baylor may have just lost another head-coaching prospect.
