Matt Jones was different than Tebow. Jones was big but he was blazing fast. He was a bigger version of Eric Crouch or Tommie Frazier on a much worse team.
If he was playing today when the spread offense was embraced instead of in the early 2000s, he would be a Heisman candidate. Arkansas got really unlucky missing out by one year on having him, McFadden, Hillis, and Felix Jones in the same backfield.
Watching Jones eviscerate Texas in 2003 was eye opening. That game had to be really fun for Arkansas fans.

It certainly was..... then came the Nutt “October Special”.
Fortunately I was naked with a chick named Brandi in Tempe, AZ during most of the Florida game and didn’t care much.

I wouldn't say that the teams that Matt Jones played on were much worse but undercoached and not developed much like Matt Jones himself.
No matter what people think of Urban Meyer, he is a much better coach than Nutt. Tebow was a much more disciplined player than Matt Jones.
He wouldn't be a heisman candidate at QB because his arm strength wasn't good. His best chance was at WR.
He missed out in 2005 because Nutt and his terrible QB development led to pulling off his redshirt in the middle of the 2001 season.
Even if Matt Jones did play in 2005, Nutt would still underachieve because he can't develop quarterbacks. Nutt would still pull the redshirt off of Casey Dick with three games left and screw his freshman year.
Yes went 4-0 but then 0 for October and it ended up a deflated season.
