In a season that offered little stability for Arkansas, the Razorbacks’ final game provided one more unexpected twist. After spending the week saying he typically avoids rotating quarterbacks, interim head coach Bobby Petrino opened Saturday’s season finale against Missouri by doing exactly that.
The decision wasn’t reactive, nor was it a result of what happened on the field. It was planned.
Missouri (8–4, 4–4 SEC) closed the day by scoring the final 17 points in a 31–17 win over Arkansas (2–10, 0–8), but the biggest storyline from the Razorbacks’ sideline was the two-quarterback approach: freshman KJ Jackson earned the start, yet veteran Taylen Green saw the majority of the drives.
