In the Liberty Bowl held on December 28, 2024, the Arkansas Razorbacks secured a 39-26 victory over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. However, the game’s outcome was overshadowed by a controversial incident involving Arkansas’ left tackle, Fernando Carmona, and Texas Tech defensive back, CJ Baskerville.

The Incident

During the fourth quarter, as Arkansas executed a running play up the middle, a pileup ensued. In the aftermath, video footage captured Carmona appearing to intentionally step on Baskerville’s ankle while the latter was on the ground. The act was met with immediate pain from Baskerville and sparked widespread outrage on social media platforms.

Reactions and Backlash

CJ Baskerville took to social media to express his frustration, stating, “There’s no denying that Arkansas played a great game last night, I am not taking that away from them. But #55 Fernando Carmona blatantly stepping on my ankle and pressing down on it on purpose is straight up dirty.”

The incident quickly went viral, with fans and analysts condemning Carmona’s actions. Some called for severe penalties, including suspension, citing the play as unsportsmanlike and dangerous. Others debated the intent, suggesting it might have been accidental.

Carmona’s Apology

In response to the mounting criticism, Fernando Carmona issued a public apology via social media. He wrote, “I’d like to apologize for my actions last Friday night in the Liberty Bowl. I let … . I have nothing but respect … .”

Team and Official Responses

Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman addressed the situation, emphasizing the program’s commitment to sportsmanship. He stated, “We hold our players to a high standard of conduct both on and off the field. Fernando’s actions do not align with our expectations, and we have addressed the matter internally.”

As of now, no official sanctions or suspensions have been announced by the NCAA or the Southeastern Conference (SEC) regarding Carmona’s actions. The incident remains a topic of discussion among sports communities, highlighting the importance of maintaining professionalism and respect in collegiate athletics.

Game Highlights

Despite the controversy, the Liberty Bowl showcased impressive performances from both teams. Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green led his team with a stellar performance, contributing significantly to the Razorbacks’ 559 total yards. Texas Tech amassed 497 yards in a high-scoring affair that kept fans engaged throughout.

The Razorbacks concluded their season with a 7-6 record, while the Red Raiders reflected on the game’s events and their performance.

Conclusion

The incident involving Fernando Carmona and CJ Baskerville serves as a reminder of the intense emotions inherent in competitive sports. While passion drives athletes to excel, maintaining composure and adhering to the principles of fair play are paramount. Both players and coaches are expected to uphold the integrity of the game, ensuring that respect remains at the forefront of athletic competition.
