Turning Point: Flag leads to 14-point swing in 3rd quarter

A mistake by two Arkansas newcomers cost the Razorbacks a touchdown and a tied game Saturday night at Ole Miss.

With about six minutes remaining in the third quarter the Razorbacks lined up for a third-and-10 at the Rebels’ 38-yard line. Quarterback Nick Starkel completed a pass to Trey Knox on a crossing pattern. Knox broke a tackle at the 31 and outran two Ole Miss defenders to the end zone.

The score would have pulled the Razorbacks within an extra point of tying the game at 10-10 with 5:50 to play in the third.

But a flag was thrown on the play for Arkansas tight end Grayson Gunter being an ineligible downfield receiver.
