  "account": "Arkansas quarterback KJ Jackson (7) ran for a touchdown during the Razorbacks' 31-14 victory against North Alabama on Saturday. However, the offense fell far short of expectations, failing to reach the 40.5-point spread. Quarterback Jackson completed 68% of his passes but also threw an interception and lost a fumble. The offensive line struggled, failing to generate the necessary push to unlock the run game, and Arkansas rushed for just 148 yards, with no running back breaking 50. Coach Silverfield called it \"one of the worst offensive performances that I've been a part of.\" The defense, though, was strong, holding North Alabama to only 153 total yards and forcing three sacks. Arkansas snapped a 10-game losing streak with the win. The team now heads to Utah on Saturday, facing a much tougher challenge as 11.5-point underdogs. Coach Silverfield expressed concern over the recently released kickoff times, which will result in nearly a full day of rest for the student-athletes, affecting their well-being and performance.",
