Transcript
00:00 We finally have a Razorback win to talk about.
00:03 After six weeks of losing, plus a bye week,
00:08 Arkansas goes to Gainesville, Florida
00:10 to play the Gators in the swamp where they've never won.
00:14 Now they have.
00:15 It took an overtime period to do it
00:18 in a miraculous effort by KJ Jefferson.
00:21 I'm looking up the stats now
00:24 to tell you exactly what KJ did.
00:28 It was a game that fans will talk about.
00:31 They wish they had seen earlier in the year.
00:33 KJ ran the ball 17 times for 92 yards.
00:38 Passing, he was 20 of 31 with two touchdowns,
00:43 one of them coming in overtime.
00:45 And Arkansas comes away with the win
00:49 simply because KJ Jefferson refused to let this team lose.
00:53 And they didn't for a change.
00:55 They took it to overtime,
00:58 had to overcome again penalties
01:00 by the offensive line when it mattered,
01:02 and scored over a Florida team that's not really that good.
01:08 And at times this game was ugly.
01:11 The difference between the Mississippi State game
01:14 is everybody was scoring, both sides.
01:18 The Gators scored, the Razorbacks scored.
01:22 Went back and forth.
01:23 14-14 was the score at the end of the first quarter
01:26 after Arkansas blew a 14-0 lead.
01:30 Then the second quarter evolved into
01:34 what looked like two mules fighting over a turnip at times.
01:38 And then in the third and fourth quarters,
01:40 this game turned into a scoring fest.
01:43 ETN, Tyrone ETN for Florida.
01:49 Arkansas couldn't stop him on one drive.
01:52 Went down and got Florida the lead back.
01:56 And for the longest, you wondered,
01:57 could Arkansas keep answering?
02:00 KJ Jefferson could, and he did.
02:03 In the end, that lifts the Hogs to a 39-36 win.
