KJ Jefferson has Arkansas fans excited for 2022 after big Outback Bowl performance
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.
