Nick Starkel throws horrible red zone INT, gets trucked by former teammate

Arkansas QB Nick Starkel threw 5 interceptions against San Jose State last weekend, and he already has another pick on his resume this week.

This one was particularly brutal, as it came at the goal line against Texas A&M. DL Justin Madubuike, a former teammate of Starkel’s, snagged the ball.

As you can see below, it was an egregious throw, one that should have never been made:

To make things worse, Starkel was injured making the tackle and had to be taken back to the locker room for evaluation. No word on his status yet.

The Arkansas defense stepped up on the ensuing possession, though, taking advantage of a botched exchange on an A&M run play to score a touchdown and cut the Aggies’ lead to 14-10.
