BATON ROUGE — The magic pill can be a great young quarterback – if there is a simple plan with a great supporting cast.
KJ Jefferson may be the answer some day for Arkansas. But he played like a freshman with too many freshmen in supporting roles in his first start - a 56-20 loss at No. 1 LSU.
Of course, the Sardis, Miss., product with the Cam Newton body and similar speed is exactly that, a true freshman.
Arkansas interim coach Barry Lunney Jr. elevated Jefferson to the first team in the open week after Chad Morris was fired.
