Razorbacks had to shake off the nerves

FAYETTEVILLE — The quarterback gets too much credit and too much blame in big-time football.

Sam Pittman wanted to make sure that his quarterback got at least some of the credit after a 38-17 victory over Rice.

Yes, KJ Jefferson struggled for a little more than two quarters, but he was at the center of plenty of quality plays as Arkansas scored the game’s last 31 points.

It was enough for the Razorbacks to cover the 19.5-point betting line, but also give the gloomers reason to think the Hogs might be in trouble next week against a much better opponent.
