Ryan Silverfield expects better quarterback play for Arkansas ahead of Utah

Arkansas head coach Ryan Silverfield is seeking more consistent decision-making from quarterback KJ Jackson following a narrow 31-14 victory over North Alabama. Despite the win, Silverfield expressed dissatisfaction with the offensive execution, noting the team averaged only 4.9 yards per play and committed three turnovers. Jackson finished the game 24 of 35 for 267 yards with three touchdowns and one interception, though he struggled with accuracy in the first half. Silverfield stated that Jackson must better balance taking deep shots with checking down to running backs to improve the passing game's effectiveness. The Razorbacks prepare for their next matchup against a Utah defense that limited Idaho to 119 passing yards in its season opener. Silverfield cited the need for improved offensive performance to compete against the Utes, who are led by first-year head coach Morgan Scalley.
