2017: The Hunter Henry Heave
Sometimes, the most influential part of a season isn't a player, necessarily. Sometimes it's a moment.
In 2015, Arkansas was a game or two from having a great season. Arkansas lost tough games like the 28-21 thriller against Texas A&M and the 51-50 shootout against Mississippi State. The Razorbacks also ran into Patrick Mahomes against Texas Tech and lost a head-scratcher versus Toledo.
The season was already a disappointment halfway through, but Arkansas never stopped fighting. The Hogs won five of the last six games of the season, including a four-overtime victory against Auburn and another overtime victory against Ole Miss — a game that will be forever etched in Arkansas history.
Arkansas had a chance to move above .500 for the first time since week one with a win over Ole Miss and potentially play spoiler to Ole Miss' national championship hopes. The game went into overtime, and Ole Miss scored first. When Arkansas found themselves on fourth and 25, most people would have counted them out. Star tight end Hunter Henry had other plans.
On a short pass to the near sideline, Henry was met by a defender well short of the first down. Instead of going down with the ball, he lateralled it back in desperation and landed in Alex Collins' lap. Collins took it to the first down mark, and the rest is history.
