Jackson’s Growth Tested Against Utah | Little Rock News

KJ Jackson delivered a solid debut under center for Arkansas, leading a dominant 31-14 win over North Alabama with 267 yards and three touchdowns—but the real test looms: a brutal road trip to Utah. The Utes’ elite pass rush and physical secondary will expose any lapses, especially against a young QB still learning to handle top-tier defenses. Jackson’s mistakes—interception, fumble—were masked by a stellar defense and ball control, but Utah won’t be as forgiving. Arkansas must tighten up execution, protect the ball, and rely on a balanced offense to give Jackson a fighting chance against a hungry, disciplined Utes squad.
