KJ Jefferson and the Arkansas Razorbacks took it to the Penn State Nittany Lions on Saturday afternoon in the Outback Bowl, cruising to an easy 24-10 victory.
Jefferson didn’t have the biggest numbers, throwing for only 90 yards. But he did add 110 yards and a touchdown as a runner.
Plays like this show just how powerful Jefferson can be in the open field, making him a nightmare for opposing players:
Nice run by KJ Jefferson for a 34 yard gain. Raheim Sanders would score a few plays later via a rushing TD from 1 yard out. Great start to the 2nd half by the Hogs.

Naturally, that performance, and the Hogs ending the year at 9-4 overall, has fans excited about the future under Jefferson.

There’s more optimism in Fayetteville than there has been in a long time. The Hogs are going to be fun to watch in 2022!
