Quarterback
ARKANSAS
KJ Jefferson (165-2443, 2,149 yards, 20 TDs) is back where he had a statistically strong start behind Feleipe Franks in 2020. Jefferson is 10th in FBS pass efficiency (166.2) and at 67.6% completions is again pursuing Franks’ UA record 68.5%. Jefferson has 472 rush yards and 6 TDs. Malik Hornsby (13-27-2, 268, 1) and Cade Fortin (14-29-0, 135, 1) have started once each in losses with the backups playing better.
MISSOURI
Brady Cook (201-307-7, 2,262 yards, 12 TDs) is at 65.5% completions, but his 12-7 TD-to-INT rate drags his efficiency rating to 135.7, 11th among SEC starters. Cook is the Tigers’ second-leading rusher with 409 yards and 5 TDs on 107 attempts and 3.8 ypc. Backup Jack Abraham (38-2, 44, 0) has not played much, nor well. QB of the future Sam Horn (02-0) played a series last week.
