NCAA Says Referee Made Incorrect Targeting Decision Against Arkansas

Arkansas survived the 2022 edition of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl against Kansas on Wednesday night, but not without some twists, turns and controversy.

Arkansas surrendered two late touchdowns and an onside kick sandwiched in between to complete a total debacle in which the Razorbacks blew a 25-point lead to the Jayhawks.

In overtime, matters got even more complicated for Arkansas. The Razorbacks held a 53–45 lead in the second overtime before Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels sprinted in for a two-yard touchdown to make it 53–51. The Jayhawks needed a two-point conversion to keep the game alive, and it appeared that Arkansas made a goal line stop on the ensuing play before freshman defensive back Quincey McAdoo was called for targeting, giving the Jayhawks another chance at the try.
