KJ on the road
Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson became the Razorbacks’ quarterback of the future two years ago against Missouri at Faurot Field.
Filling in for an injured Feleipe Franks, and playing with what he called “messed up” ligaments in his knee that he suffered earlier in the second half, Jefferson led a 13-play, 75-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter that culminated in a 14-yard touchdown pass to Mike Woods with 43 seconds remaining. Arkansas coach Sam Pittman opted to try a two-point conversion to give the Razorbacks the lead.
Jefferson found Woods off a deflection for what appeared to be the winning score, putting Arkansas ahead 48-47.
