2. KJ Jefferson is so tough to stop

When KJ Jefferson is on his game, he’s darn near impossible to stop.

Fortunately for Texas A&M, it was able to slow him down and contain him although he was still able to get his yards. For whatever reason, the offense doesn’t run a ton of passing plays even though Jefferson has proven that he can sling the ball, but there were 54 runs to just 19 passes although some of the runs were probably drawn up as passes before he scrambled.

Jefferson played well enough to lead Arkansas to a win, passing for 171 yards and two touchdowns on 12-of-19 completions and he led the team in rushing with 105 yards and a score.

Arkansas is going to be just fine as long as Jefferson is leading the way and if he can play like he did on Saturday night outside of a crucial turnover, the Razorbacks are going to beat darn near everyone.

Jefferson remains underrated.
