TWTW: Tejada Least-Bad Kicker In Arkansas Liberty Win

((HT: WNCT-TV, Greenville NC))

You really have to feel beyond bad for East Carolina senior kicker Ben Hartman.

He went 1-for-5 in field goal attempts in this year's Liberty Bowl.

Unfortunately, one of those was with 69 seconds left and another was as time expired in regulation.

The game went to overtime tied at 17 and Hartman had another chance to put points on the board for ECU- but he missed again. One off the upright from the right hash, one off to the right as he tried to compensate for the hook, and the third one in OT was off to the left from the left hash. He was short from 45 earlier in the game.

Arkansas' Alex Tejada had his growing pains as well. He missed in the Florida game and in the LSU game. Robert Petrino was seen cursing after a miss in the Liberty Bowl- and, no, we can't reprint what he said.

But Tejada got his chance in the bottom of the first overtime, and he made it giving the Razorbacks their 20-17 win...

Here's your wrap from our friends at WNCT-TV
