Defense Lines Up With 10 Players To Honor Late Teammate, Recovers Fumble, Scores Touchdown

Arkansas Tech’s defense had only 10 players on the field on its first play against Southern Nazarene in honor of Zemaric Holt, a 21-year-old defensive lineman who drowned in July. Despite the intentional disadvantage, the Wonder Boys—great name, by the way—scored a touchdown.

Southern Nazarene ran a trick play that went horribly wrong, and Arkansas Tech’s Nick Akins recovered the fumble in the end zone, eight seconds into the game.

The Wonder Boys won in a rout, 62-14.
