Watch Arkansas football block a punt and return it for a touchdown against LSU

Early in the first quarter of Arkansas football’s game against LSU football on Saturday, the Razorbacks made a statement on special teams.

After fumbling on its opening possession, the Razorbacks defense held and forced a punt. On that punt, though, redshirt freshman linebacker Wyatt Simmons broke through the Tigers protection and blocked the punt from LSU’s Grant Chadwick. Arkansas senior defensive back Caleb Wooden recovered the ball and returned it for a touchdown to open the game’s scoring.

It was the first Arkansas blocked punt for a touchdown since 2009, when the Razorbacks returned one for a score against Eastern Michigan.
