State of the Hogs: Injury proved too costly

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Who is the most valuable player on the Arkansas football team?

The discussion of late has centered on Jalen Catalon, Grant Morgan or Feleipe Franks.

After Missouri’s incredible rally for a 50-48 victory, the answer seemed certain. With Morgan leaning on crutches with his former high school coach Rick Jones searching for consolation words, that’s the man the Razorbacks can’t lose.

Jones won eight state titles at Greenwood and now works as an analyst for Mizzou head coach Eli Drinkwitz, an Alma native.

Franks did not play after testing injured ribs in two pregame throwing sessions.
