Jefferson jumps into fire against red-hot Tigers
Baton Rouge, La. -- KJ Jefferson's first start as a true freshman quarterback for the University of Arkansas against a top five team on the road didn't go as well as Razorbacks interim Coach Barry Lunney Jr.'s did 27 years ago.
Lunney, who was promoted to interim coach on Nov. 10 after Chad Morris was fired, made his first start as a true freshman quarterback on Oct. 10, 1992, when the Razorbacks upset No. 4 Tennessee 25-24 at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville.
Jefferson and the Razorbacks didn't come close to pulling off a similar upset Saturday night against LSU, which beat Arkansas 56-20.
