Arkansas linebacker Bumper Pool (10) signals the Razorbacks have the ball following a fumble during the second quarter of a game against BYU on Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, in Provo, Utah.

Defensive stops were at a premium Saturday, and one of Arkansas’ turned the tide during the Razorbacks’ 52-35 victory at BYU.

With his team leading 21-17 late in the second quarter, BYU coach Kalani Sitake sent his team to the line of scrimmage, intending to try to draw an Arkansas defender offsides on fourth-and-1 from the Cougars’ 34-yard line.

But center Joe Tukuafu snapped the ball to quarterback Jaren Hall, who was not expecting it.
