It looks like a Suh-esque stomp, and it has taken the Internet by storm.
After video surfaced of the Arkansas Razorback offensive lineman standing over a Texas Tech cornerback lying on the ground, college football fans want to see him “banned forever.”
It's not clear whether Razorbacks rookie offensive lineman Fernando Carmona stepped on CJ Baskerville's ankle with intent, although the Red Raiders cornerback certainly thinks so.
“There's no denying that Arkansas played a great game last night, and I'm not taking that from them,” Baskerville wrote in a post on X that included two angles of the incident. “But for Fernando Carmona's No. 55 to blatantly stand on my ankle and deliberately squeeze it is dirty. He proceeds to say 'I got a b**** a***.' Do better.”
The incident happened in the fourth quarter of Friday's Liberty Bowl game — the Razorbacks had just passed the ball up the middle of the field and Baskerville stepped up to make the stop.
He was still on the ground when Carmona's foot landed on his ankle.
Baskerville's post of the supposed stomp had been viewed by nearly four million X users as of Sunday.

One user wrote: “We must demand that this pig/thug be banned from playing football.” “Let's make this bigger!”
Another noted: “Looks like he's walking around trying to get to his right back, which he almost stepped on too.”
“A petty move on his part. A man like that always has his own day.
A number of users went after Baskerville, including one person who wrote: “Looks like he was right. Very soft. Never in my life have I seen a top footballer take to social media to post like this after training.
The scrimmage appears to be getting as much attention as the Liberty Bowl itself, which Arkansas won 39-26.
The Razorbacks were led by junior quarterback Tylen Green, who threw for two touchdowns and 341 yards on just 11 completions. Green added another touchdown and 81 more yards on the ground.
Arkansas finished with 559 yards to Texas Tech's 497.
With Friday's win, the Razorbacks improved to 29-8 against the Red Raiders all-time.
