FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) Arkansas tailback Felix Jones has been named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week.<br> <br> In his first collegiate game Saturday, the 6-foot, 195-pounder from Tulsa, Okla., torched the Missouri State defense for a game-high 137 yards and a touchdown on eight carries. On just his second carry, he ran left and busted through for an 80-yard score. He had 116 yards on his first three carries.<br> <br> Arkansas beat overmatched Missouri State 49-17.<br> <br> Jones came just 5 yards shy of the all-time single-game rushing record for a Razorback freshman, behind only Brandon Holmes&#39; 142 yards against LSU in 2000. Half of Jones&#39; carries went for 10 yards or more and he became just the eighth freshman in Arkansas history to rush for more than 100 yards in a game.<br> <br> (Copyright 2005 by The Associated Press.
