KJ Jackson impresses as Arkansas snaps 12-game skid vs FBS opponents with win over Tulsa
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — In a bid to end a 12-game losing streak against Bowl Subdivision opponents, Arkansas secured a 34-6 victory over Tulsa on Saturday night. Quarterback KJ Jackson shone bright as he completed 24 of 36 passes for 309 yards, scored two touchdowns and intercepted one. Jackson also contributed a rushing touchdown, adding to his impressive performance.
The Tulsa offense struggled early, failing to cross midfield until the third quarter and amassing only 56 total yards. Arkansas dominated the second half, scoring seven touchdowns in seven red-zone attempts, though only three led to points. Max Gilbert's four field goals limited Tulsa's rally, but two lost fumbles in the final drive and the first drive of the fourth quarter sealed Tulsa's fate.
Arkansas has yet to showcase its full potential in the SEC, with KJ Jackson and Chris Marshall leading the charge. The team faces No. 23 Texas A&M in the upcoming match.
