A long time coming

FAYETTEVILLE -- No matter what comes of the rest of Jack Lindsey's football career, he'll always have Baton Rouge.

Lindsey, a University of Arkansas redshirt junior, made his first career action at quarterback memorable.

The Springdale High graduate ran for 30 yards on his first play after subbing in for injured Nick Starkel early in the fourth quarter against then-No. 1 LSU. After a timeout, Lindsey stood resolute in the pocket and feathered in a perfect 24-yard touchdown pass over the middle to Mike Woods on the next snap.

Two plays, 54 yards, touchdown. Not bad for a long-time scout teamer who became Arkansas' fifth quarterback of the season working against mostly LSU starters on a well-regarded defense in perhaps the most hostile environment college football has to offer with a crowd of 101,000-plus on hand.
