Stewart: 'Stupid Things' Will Decide QB Starting Job

The Arkansas Razorbacks' quarterback competition between KJ Jackson and AJ Hill is a daily focus for the coaching staff. Quarterback coach Mitch Stewart emphasized that avoiding "stupid things" with the football will be crucial for either player to secure the starting position. The coaching team, including offensive coordinator Tim Cramsey, is meticulously analyzing every aspect of the players' performance, from team meetings to on-field execution.

Stewart highlighted that Jackson needs to improve his completion accuracy on easy throws, while Hill must make quicker decisions and progress through reads faster. Mistakes such as a missed completion by Jackson and Hill leading a receiver out of bounds were noted in recent practice sessions. With three weeks remaining before the season opener against North Alabama, both Jackson and Hill have time to impress head coach Ryan Silverfield and earn the starting role.
