STARKVILLE, Miss. — Arkansas is gearing up for its first true road game of the season, and the status of starting quarterback KJ Jefferson is still unknown.
The Mississippi native made the trip to Starkville, but his head injury may keep him on the sideline for the game. If he cannot go, all eyes will be on backups Cade Fortin and Malik Hornsby.
