Ja’Quinden Jackson scored three first-half touchdowns as Arkansas jumped out to a 20-7 halftime lead at Oklahoma State on Sept. 7 but needed Kyle Ramsey’s 45-yard field goal as regulation time expired to get to overtime before losing 39-31. Jackson finished with 149 yards on 24 carries while Taylen Green threw for 416 yards on 26-of-45 passing with a touchdown and a pick. Andrew Armstrong caught 10 of those passes for 164 yards.
There was no such drama for the Blazers, who were thumped 32-6 at UL Monroe on Sept. 7. Jonah Delange’s two first-half field goals were all the scoring for UAB, which hurt its cause with three turnovers, including a pick-six. Jacob Zeno finished 22-of-32 for just 167 yards in the air while Lee Beebe Jr. picked up 62 yards on 14 carries.
Jackson leads the Razorbacks with 250 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, gaining 7.8 yards per carry, while Green has thrown for 645 yards and three TDs thus far. Armstrong is the leading receiver despite missing the opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff with a hamstring injury.

Kam Shanks leads the receivers for 10 grabs for 116 yards and Beebe tops the ground game, averaging 5.0 yards a carry with 144 yards and two touchdowns.
