Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson is shown during a scrimmage Saturday, April 3, 2021, in Fayetteville.
Quarterback play often rules the day in a spring scrimmage.
Whether or not there is sharpness in their passing can either impress or depress.
In two Saturday scrimmages this spring open to fans and the media, it’s probably the lack of the desired crispness that stands out. That’s unfair, because I saw flashes from almost every quarterback that leads me to believe the second year under Arkansas coach Sam Pittman will be plenty good.
No, the passing game – intentionally vanilla in the two open scrimmages – has more capability than what offensive coordinator Kendal Briles could call upon last season with Feleipe Franks at quarterback.
