Cade Fortin replaces backup Malik Hornsby as Arkansas football quarterback vs. LSU
Arkansas football made a quarterback change in the second half of its matchup against LSU.
After KJ Jefferson was ruled out due to shoulder soreness, backup quarterback Malik Hornsby was chosen to start for the Razorbacks. However, after completing only four passes for 24 yards, Arkansas made the switch to Cade Fortin with five minutes remaining in the third quarter.
Fortin threw a sharp pass to Matt Landers for 40 yards on his second drive of the game to give the Razorbacks their first touchdown.
