FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas stands deeper at quarterback and shakier in the secondary heading into today’s non-conference game at Brigham Young University.
KJ Jefferson quarterbacks after a week off healing from a head injury during Arkansas’ 49-26 loss to Alabama on Oct. 1.
The fourth-year junior co-captain practiced crisply this week, Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman said.
Though committing the season’s biggest goal-line gaffe, prematurely attempting his touchdown leap with the ball extended which Texas A&M swiped and bolted for a devastating touchdown in the Aggies’ 23-21 victory, Jefferson remains Arkansas’ best goal-line option. The fast, powerful 242-pounder can bulldoze or roll out.
