CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Arkansas radio announcer Keith Jackson is calling his final game when the Razorbacks play Virginia Tech in the Belk Bowl on Thursday.
In an interview with WholeHogSports, Jackson recanted his most memorable games in 17 seasons with Arkansas' football team.
Miracle on Markham
Matt Jones threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to DeCori Birmingham with 9 seconds remaining to give the Razorbacks a 21-20 win over LSU in the 2002 regular season finale at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock. The win sent Arkansas to the SEC Championship Game the following week.
Overtime Kings
Arkansas has played in the two longest overtime games in the history of college football. The Razorbacks beat Ole Miss 58-56 in seven overtime in November 2001, and beat Kentucky 71-63 in seven overtimes in November 2003.
Black Friday in the Bayou
The Razorbacks upset No. 1 LSU 50-48 in triple overtime to close the 2007 regular season. The loss appeared to knock the Tigers out of the national championship hunt, although a series of losses helped LSU become the first two-loss national champion in college football history. The game was the final for longtime Arkansas coach Houston Nutt, who resigned the following week.
Henry Heave
Arkansas converted a crazy fourth-and-25 lateral play in overtime and later beat Ole Miss 53-52 with a two-point conversion. The loss kept the Rebels from winning their first SEC western division championship.
Bittersweet Sugar Bowl
Arkansas lost 31-26 to Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl to cap the 2010 season. The Razorbacks nearly overcame a 21-point disadvantage, but failed to convert a blocked punt in Buckeyes territory in the final minute of the game.
