Jones taking over as UA quarterback

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas' youth movement down the stretch will feature a change at quarterback, where freshmen John Stephen Jones and KJ Jefferson are listed as the starter and backup for Saturday's 11 a.m. game against Western Kentucky.

Coach Chad Morris revealed the quarterback change during the opening remarks of his weekly news conference on Monday at the Smith Football Center.

"We'll start John Stephen Jones this week," Morris said. "I'm excited for him. We will play KJ as well and continue to develop him."

Offensive coordinator Joe Craddock said the details of playing time at quarterback will be ironed out during the week.
