  A week after beating then-No. 15 Texas and a week before facing No. 5 Texas A&M, both age-old rivals, No. 20 Arkansas could have faltered against Georgia Southern. After all, the Razorbacks, who haven't had a winning season in five years, only beat the last Sun Belt team it played by a single point. The one before that actually beat Arkansas at home. No such disappointment this time as coach Sam Pittman's team smashed the Eagles 45-10 on Saturday behind quarterback KJ Jefferson, who threw for a career-high 366 yards and tied a career high with three touchdowns.

The win sets up a showdown with the Aggies next week in Arlington, Texas, where both teams will enter perfect. "We played them last year, they were the best football team we had played at that time," Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said. "It's a big deal." Jefferson and the Razorbacks defense were the biggest reasons for the blowout. Jefferson set his career high in passing by the first drive of the third quarter. A 60-yard touchdown pass to Warren Johnson gave him 275 yards, one more than his previous high, and gave Arkansas a 31-10 lead with 13:28 left in the period. On Arkansas' next offensive play, Jefferson connected with preseason All-SEC wide receiver Treylon Burks for a 91-yard score. At that point, the Razorbacks (3-0) were comfortable, shifting largely to the No. 9 rushing attack in FBS to slow the game and preserve the win. Jefferson, who entered as the No. 2 rushing quarterback in the SEC, spent more time on his passing instead, something his coach was happy to see improve. He entered the game with just 266 yards over the team's first two games. - Arkansas/AP College Football
