2. KJ Jefferson has five total touchdowns

KJ Jefferson has rebounded rather nicely from a nightmare performance at Georgia a few weeks ago. He finished with under 100 total yards and his Razorbacks didn’t score a single point, but he has bounced back to throw for 554 yards and five touchdowns over the past two games despite losing efforts in each. He also has 151 rushing yards and three scores.

You could argue that Jefferson has gotten better while his defense has struggled over the past two weeks as he has eight total touchdowns while his defense surrendered 52 points against Ole Miss and 38 to Auburn.

Jefferson is going to remain hot on Saturday afternoon with a five-touchdown performance which will be the second time in three weeks in which he has at least five total scores.

I see Jefferson throwing three touchdown passes (two to Treylon Burks) and running in a couple more to finish the day with five scores and over 350 total yards.

And this is all with him not even having to play much in the second half (probably exiting the game before the fourth quarter).
