KJ Jefferson tosses second touchdown to Matt Landers as Hogs take control

The SEC is loaded with great quarterbacks and KJ Jefferson is proving he shouldn’t be forgotten as one.

KJ Jefferson tied a career high and he still had more than 20 game-clock minutes left to play.

The Arkansas quarterback in his first game back from an injury that kept him out of the team’s loss to Mississippi State last week threw four touchdown passes to three different receivers in just more than 35 minutes against BYU.

His fourth was a 39-yarder to a wide-open Matt Landers down the left sideline to give Arkansas a 38-28 lead with 9:20 left in the third quarter. Trey Knox had caught the first one early in the second quarter and Landers caught another later in the frame to put Arkansas ahead, 24-21, while Rashod Dubinion added a final before half, as well.

Jefferson had thrown 20 for 29 with 281 yards and the four scores (tying a career high) through the time of the second Landers touchdown.

Jefferson’s career-high in passing yards is 385, set earlier in the year against Missouri State.
