FAYETTEVILLE — When Memphis football beat Arkansas on Sept. 20, it was backup quarterback Arrington Maiden that sealed the win.
Arkansas had the ball down 32-31, but Mike Washington fumbled in the red zone with 1:18 to play. The Razorbacks had all their timeouts and still might have had a chance to win if they could get a stop.
When starting quarterback Brendon Lewis’ helmet came off on a play, it was Maiden who had to come in for third-and-8. He ran 11 yards up the middle, dragging 6-5, 387-pound defensive tackle Ian Geffrard down the field for a first down.
