5TYDK No. 4: Former Tide RB Kamara Excelling At UT
Tennessee junior running back Alvin Kamara had the all-around game of his career in College Station last week, piling up 312 all-purpose yards en route to a new Tennessee single-game record. The 312 all-purpose yards are the second-most recorded by an FBS player this season, trailing only Dalvin Cook, who posted 329 for Florida State against South Florida on Sept. 24.
Kamara is only the second Vol in history to record 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game. Jamal Lewis had 128 rushing yards and 105 receiving yards in a 59-31 win over Kentucky in 1997. Kamara is also the first SEC player to post a 100/100 performance since Florida’s Chris Rainey accomplished the feat against Tennessee in 2011.
