Arkansas Razorbacks Analysis
KJ Jefferson has been the starter at quarterback for the past three seasons, averaging 191.4 passing yards per game and leading the team with 39.3 rushing yards per game. Wide receiver Andrew Armstrong, top rusher AJ Green and defensive leaders Jaheim Thomas, Landon Jackson and Dwight McGlotherin and Alfahiym Walcott make up Arkansas's strongest points on the field. Unfortunately, the influx of injuries to their running backs causes their chances to be slim in their final home game of the season. The Arkansas Razorbacks, ranked 9th in the SEC with 27.7 points per game and giving up 26.1 points per game overall, have a 4-7 season record this year and will not be playing in a bowl game. KJ Jefferson has been the starter at quarterback, with Andrew Armstrong as the top receiving threat, AJ Green as the top rusher, and Jaheim Thomas, Landon Jackson and Dwight McGlotherin and Alfahiym Walcott as defensive leaders. Injury to their running backs has weakened their chance for an upset in their final home game of the season.
