The hot start Arkansas had against Brigham Young on Saturday was just that. A start. The Razorbacks was a disaster offensively after their first series.
Until just before halftime.
KJ Jefferson led Arkansas on a 10-play, 70-yard drive that chewed up almost six minutes and was capped by a 19-yard touchdown pass to freshman tight end Luke Hasz.
The touchdown was the first of Hasz’s career and was one that allowed Arkansas tie the game with BYU, 21-21, with 1:43 left before halftime.
Arkansas had taken a quick 14-0 lead after AJ Green ran 55 yards for a touchdown on the first drive and Isaiah Sategna returned a punt 88 yards for a touchdown after BYU’s first possession.
The Cougars responded with a trick-play touchdown pass and a 45-yard touchdown run before taking the lead on their own 10-play, 70-yard drive early in the second quarter.
Arkansas had picked up only 25 yards on five drives in-between its two offensive touchdown series.
