Jefferson completed 12 of 21 passes for 128 yards with one touchdown and one interception and carried eight times for 51 yards and two scores. KJ Jefferson accounted for three touchdowns and Jalen Catalon recorded two interceptions as Arkansas opened its season with a 38-17 come-from-behind win Saturday against visiting Rice in Fayetteville, Ark. Rice’s ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, giving Arkansas good field position, and the Razorbacks took advantage six plays later by scoring on Jefferson’s 5-yard run. The hosts then drove down the field for a 34-yard field goal by Cam Little to tie it at 17-17. Early in the fourth quarter, Catalon intercepted Green and returned it 39 yards (helped by a Rice penalty) to put the ball on the Rice 4.
