March Badness: Jared Lorenzen vs Matt Jones

For the first time in our glorious bracket of badness, we have a showdown of contemporaries. A pair of unorthodox SEC quarterbacks that we may directly compare, because they actually played each other.

And hooooo boy did Jared Lorenzen and Matt Jones play each other a lot. Two-hundred and ninety-six minutes worth of football, all of it on November 1, 2003. The game, a 71-63 win for Arkansas, went for seven overtimes. To this day it still is tied for the longest game on record in college football history. Technically, it ended at 12:01 a.m. on November 2.
