Arkansas State coach Butch Jones loses it over penalty on successful onside kick

Arkansas State trailed by two late in the Camellia Bowl against Northern Illinois.

The Red Wolves needed a successful onside kick to have a chance for victory on Saturday.

They appeared to get it until a penalty flag flew, saying an Arkansas State player was offside.

That just about sealed the 21-19 loss for Butch Jones’ team.

The head coach blew a gasket on the sidelines over the penalty, which appeared to be highly questionable after seeing multiple replays.

The coach was so upset he called a timeout before play resumed to keep yelling at the officials.

Jones was calm when he spoke about the officials and the call after the game in measured terms.
