Razorback Fans Pack The Hill for Home Opener Against North Alabama
KJ Jackson completed 24 of 35 passes for 267 yards as Arkansas out-gained North Alabama 415-153 and snapped a 10-game losing streak.
On Saturday, quarterback KJ Jackson threw three touchdown passes to lead the Razorbacks to a 31-14 victory over North Alabama, snapping Arkansas' 10-game losing streak.
Coach Ryan Silverfield, in his first game leading the Razorbacks, acknowledged the struggles despite the win, calling the first half "one of the sloppiest halves of football I" have been associated with.
Receiver Ismael Cisse converted third-and-10 with a 20-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter, while Jackson added 2-yard and 10-yard scoring passes to Matt Adcock and Jaden Platt.
Arkansas out-gained North Alabama 415-153 and held the Lions to 17 yards of total offense in the first half, though the Razorbacks committed multiple turnovers against the Football Championship Subdivision opponent.
The Razorbacks will enter Week 2 with a 1-0 record, though Arkansas committed eight penalties for 74 yards, an area Silverfield must address before facing tougher competition.
