Tony Jones hangs on to upset Arkansas

Nov. 17, 1987: Trailing Arkansas 14-10 with 1:58 remaining in the fourth quarter, Texas started an 11-play, 56-yard drive. On the final play, Brett Stafford hit Tony Jones just inside the goal line. Jones was immediately met by two Arkansas defenders, but after withstanding two power hits, he fell into the end zone, clutching the ball with no time left to give the Longhorns the 16-14 upset victory over the 15th-ranked Razorbacks.
