VIDEO: Arkansas Scores Late Touchdown After 5 Colorado State Defenders Suddenly Forget How to Tackle
By Karl Rasmussen
Arkansas was looking to put the dagger in Colorado State during their Week 3 matchup late in the fourth quarter with a seven point lead. However, they weren't trying to completely humiliate them. Well, that's what ended up happening after Nick Starkel threw a pass down field to Cheyenne O'Grady. What should have been a time-consuming completion turned into much more when O'Grady managed to slip not one, not two, but freaking FIVE defenders and break away for the score.

These Colorado State defenders need to go all the way back to the basics of tackling because they looked like a bunch of middle school players pinballing off each other, simply unable to drag O'Grady to the turf.
The five defenders did more damage to one another than O'Grady, as after a small delay he sped into the end zone for six, leaving Colorado State not only defeated, but utterly humiliated and awestruck.
Final score between Arkansas and Colorado State is going to show a blowout, and that’s what most of the nation is going to think. That’s a bummer, because that was a damn good — and close — college football game.

This embarrassing defensive disaster will undoubtedly steal the highlight from what was, up until that fleeting moment, a tightly contested game.
Arkansas managed to run up the score even further, adding another touchdown despite scoring this one with less than 40 seconds remaining.
