KJ Jefferson needed less than 10 minutes to put Arkansas ahead of Texas A&M, 14-0.
Jefferson’s second touchdown pass, a 56-yard deep ball to a wide-open Warren Thompson, was a stamp with 5:26 left in the first quarter. Texas A&M fans were already losing their minds.
For Arkansas, a win over the Aggies int he Southwest Classic would be a second straight in the series after the Hogs lost nine in a row. It would also set up a showdown between them and undefeated Alabama in Fayetteville in Week 5.
But Saturday, it wasn’t about that. It was about Jefferson, now a dark horse Heisman Trophy candidate. Jefferson had 98 yards passing and 36 rushing halfway through the first quarter.
