Video resurfaces of Arkansas' Fernando Carmona 'playing dirty football' amid CJ Baskerville outrage
As Fernando Carmona is in the spotlight for a 'disgusting' act during Friday's bowl game against Texas Tech, a video has resurfaced of a past 'dirty' play from the Arkansas offensive lineman.
During the first quarter of a November game against Ole Miss, Taylen Green fumbled the ball in the Arkansas end zone.
Carmona and Rebels' defensive lineman Jared Ivey were the closest to the loose ball for their respective teams, with Ivey getting to the ball a split second before the controversial Razorback.
As Ivey tries to secure the ball, Carmona does not go for the pigskin. Instead, Carmona grabs Ivey's arm and twists it back behind his body.
The play ended with Ivey's teammate, Princely Umanmielen, landing on the ball for the touchdown.
However, the video resurfacing has done nothing but add fuel to the fire of those who want Carmona banned for what he did to Texas Tech's CJ Baskerville.

Footage shows the moment players are trying to get back to their feet after a six-yard rush by Braylen Russell with Carmona, a team captain, stood up above the pile.
Texas Tech player CJ Baskerville can be seen laying on the floor, seemingly still down after making a tackle.
It's at that moment that Carmona can be seen purposefully stomping on Baskerville's player ankle, pushing all of his weight down on to the opponent's leg.
The player can be seen writhing around on the floor in pain afterwards, although the referees appeared to miss it.
A furious Baskerville posted two videos of the incident on X and captioned them: '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.
'Proceeds to say "got your b**** a***." Do better @RazorbackFB.'
Arkansas has not publicly commented on the incident, choosing to upload several photos of players with the Liberty Bowl trophy, after a 39-26 win.
