It’s funny how the losses are sometimes recalled more vividly than the victories. The phone call to former Arkansas quarterback Matt Jones was to discuss the seven-overtime triumph over Kentucky in 2003.
The idea for the visit centered around Kentucky’s plans to honor its great quarterback, the late Jared Lorenzen. The two teams renew their brief SEC rivalry at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Kroger Field in Lexington, Ky.
Lorenzen died July 3. He was Kentucky’s all-time leader in passing yards (10,354) and touchdowns (78). He was as beloved for his outgoing personality as for his great quarterback play.
