It's nice to be positive, and there's a good chance you'll manage, even if you need go landside to collect luggage and recheck. You will need to be onto it from the outset.
Fail and you are likely SOL with your flight to ZQN.
Most experienced travelers would rather avoid putting themselves in such stress - for the majority of FTer's there's generally a lounge to await the next flight if early etc.
Delays outside of your control can eat up the time. Once with a 4 hour layover at LAX, my flight from SYD left 90 minutes late, arriving 100 minutes late. CBP took 75 minutes followed by a sprint from TBIT to T7 seeing me fall into my seat breathless 20 minutes before departure - I had five minutes to spare. So, I did not miss the flight .... but I could have done without the stress....
