WATCH: Arkansas scores long touchdown, Christian Kirk responds with incredible return
Yes, Arkansas QB Austin Allen holds onto the ball too long, but when he has time, he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
With his team trailing Texas A&M in the fourth quarter, Allen lined up and threw an absolute dart to Jonathan Nance for a long touchdown to put the Razorbacks ahead by three.
As you can see in the video below, Nance got behind a pair of Aggie defenders and Allen hit him perfectly in stride to go ahead 36-33:

However, as ESPN analyst Lee Corso would say — not so fast, my friend!
On the ensuing kickoff, it was Texas A&M WR/KR Christian Kirk’s turn to provide some heroics. Though Arkansas (or anyone else for that matter) should NEVER kick to Kirk, the Hogs did just that, and you can see the results for yourself below:

Naturally, the Razorbacks quickly answered again on the next possession on a run by RB David Williams, and now lead 43-40 late in the fourth quarter.
