“Do better”: Texas Tech Raiders DB CJ Baskerville calls out Arkansas player alleging foul language after stepping on him

CJ Baskerville was involved in the Liberty Bowl on Friday night as his Texas Tech took on Arkansas in Memphis, Tennessee. The cornerback had a great game against the Razorbacks, recording 10 tackles. However, the Red Raiders couldn't get a win in the encounter.

On Saturday, Baskerville made an allegation on social media about an incident that occurred during the game. He detailed the unsportsmanlike conduct of Fernando Carmona towards him in the game as well as the use of inappropriate language by the offensive lineman.

“There’s no denying that Arkansas played a great game last night, I am not taking that away from them.” Baskerville wrote. “But #55 Fernando Carmona blatantly stepping on my ankle and pressing down on it on purpose is straight up dirty. Proceeds to say “got your b**** a***.” Do better @RazorbackFB”

Neither Carmona nor Arkansas has addressed the allegation made by CJ Bakersville. While the Red Raiders haven't taken it up on behalf of their player, it is expected that the situation will be attended to by the Razorbacks either publicly or internally.

Fans react to CJ Baskerville's allegation

The disclosure of the incident that took place in the game on Friday night CJ Baskerville has generated a lot of reactions from college football fans. While not many took note of the incident during the game, the cornerback's allegation was an eye-opener to many.

While some fans are disappointed at the actions of Fernando Carmona in the games, others are unapologetic about it, believing it’s a foul cry following the team’s loss in the Liberty Bowl. Here’s a look at some of the reactions online:

A few more fans called out Carmona for his alleged behavior.

“That's completely BS man I'm sorry this happened, we r better than this man!” a fan wrote.

“He should face serious repercussions for that crap. abhorrent behavior. He and his team should be ashamed,” another fan wrote.

Others didn’t feel sorry for CJ Baskerville following Carmona’s unsportsmanlike action:

“You’ve been playing football your whole life. I’m sure this isn’t the first time a player has been ‘mean’ to you. And you went to tweet about it instead of fighting back in the game. U missed ur chance. Man up bro,” a fan wrote.

“Looks like he was right. So soft. I’ve never in my life seen a major conference football player run to social media to post like this after getting drilled. He shouldn’t have done it, but posting this is worse. It’s football. Stuff stays on the field if you’re a real player,” another fan wrote.

As it stands, it's unknown whether the authority in charge of the Liberty Bowl or the NCAA will take action on the incident after CJ Baskerville's public complaint. The way the situation will be handled by governing bodies will be clearer in the next couple of days.
