Bielema: With the way he has looked in practice and a smaller cast, this week Kody Walker will have his opportunity. — Razorback Football (@RazorbackFB) October 19, 2015

Auburn isn’t ready folks, they just aren’t. Hog fans from all around got a boost of adrenaline today when Bret Bielema announced that Kody Walker, who has been out with a broken hand since week 2, has been cleared and will be back to face the Auburn Tigers on Saturday.

Walker has 10 carries for 28 yards in his short 2015 season, but from here on out he can look forward to seeing that number steadily increase. He excited us all in the preseason as he ran all over our defense in the Red/White scrimmage (which served as a good foreshadowing of what other teams would do to our defense). Bielema even said before the season began that Walker was easily a thousand yard back. Of course at this point in the season Walker could never hit 1,000 yards…or could he?

No, definitely not. But that’s okay, because that means we have other backs to get the job done. We all know that Alex Collins is already going to do his dirty work no matter what. And if you don’t already know about the talent that we have in Rawleigh Williams III, then you can read up on that in my previous article here, because that ball of fire could very well be a force. So now adding Kody Walker will not only add to our already amazing on field talent, but now we will have a fresh back behind B.A. on every snap. And that, my friends, is a very dangerous thing.

Here’s a rad video to get you ready for Kody Walker’s return.

With Auburn being as big of a game as it is, getting a key player back like Walker couldn’t come at a better time. The Hogs need to win out their remaining home games to be bowl eligible, and it all starts this Saturday with a stomping of the Tigers. If we can get the running game rolling like I’m hoping on Saturday, there’s no opponent from here on out who’s not going to have trouble stopping our tenacious Hogs.
