Defensive end Jake Bequette returned to practice Tuesday, 10 days after tweaking his hamstring against New Mexico. Wednesday brought no certain word that he will be available for the Tide game, although defensive coordinator Willy Robinson sounded decidedly optimistic at the direction Bequette’s headed.
“He’s doing more and more every day,” Robinson said according to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. “As far as that goes it seems like he’s working hard, but he’s doing more and more every day.”
The Tide is currently 15th in the country in rushing, averaging 242 yards per game. Their 6.7 — 6.66 if you want to be technically correct, which I don’t because it creeps me out — yards per carry, however, is good for No. 4 in the nation.
Bequette’s return would be a welcome addition against such a quality opponent; after starting 13 games and recording seven sacks in 2010, Bequette was named to the preseason All-SEC first team prior to the start of this season.
