The fans were clamoring for it. And Malik Hornsby wasted zero time showing why.
Arkansas’ third-string quarterback entered on the Hogs’ second drive of the game after back-up Cade Fortin, who started for injured KJ Jefferson, was ineffective in his first drive.
Horsnby went around the right side for 52 yards with a burst speed no one has seen this year on the Razorbacks roster. Arkansas was into the red zone, at the Mississippi State 20 immediately.
Three plays later, Horsnby was gone.
He took a shot to the head on a five-yard run up the middle and exited to the injury tent. Fortin re-entered. Arkansas turned the ball over on downs at the Mississippi State 8.
It might be a long day in Starkville.
