Video: Arkansas golf team reenacts Razorbacks' crazy overtime play
It will likely go down as one of the most memorable plays in Arkansas football history.
Last Saturday, the Razorbacks trailed Ole Miss 52-45 in overtime, and faced fourth-and-25 at the Rebels’ 40-yard line. They needed to gain 25 yards or the game would be over. Tight end Hunter Henry caught a pass from Brandon Allen well short of the first down, and Ole Miss defenders Tony Bridges and Trae Elston converged to make a potential game-ending tackle.
Out of desperation, Henry blindly lateraled the ball backwards, hoping a teammate would get it and find a way to get a first down. And that is exactly what happened. The ball bounced on the turf near Arkansas running back Alex Collins, who picked it up and raced 29 yards for a first down. Two plays later, the Razorbacks scored a touchdown, then won the game 53-52 on Allen’s two-point conversion run.
The play has gotten the nickname “Swine Intervention” among Razorbacks fans.
Earlier this week, Arkansas’ golf team performed a unique reenactment of the play.
