Arkansas had two consensus All-Americans in 1982, Steve Korte, on the offensive line, and defensive lineman Billy Ray Smith.
Going into this game, SMU needed a victory or a tie to claim the SWC championship and secure a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
From the Mustang 43 yard line, SMU quarterback Lance McIlhenny lofted a pass to receiver Jackie Wilson down the left sideline, with Wilson being defended by Arkansas cornerback Nathan Jones.
SMU would score the game-tying touchdown a few plays later, and the game ended in a 17-17 tie, handing the Mustangs the conference championship.
Play-by-play announcer Keith Jackson would even say on live television that the pass interference penalty on Jones was "just a terrible call".
