This may be one of the strangest wardrobe malfunctions in college football history.
Saturday in Fayetteville, Arkansas trainers had to attend to running back Alex Collins, who had the helmet of a Southern Miss player .... stuck to the back of his jersey.

Trainers eventually had to use a screwdriver to pry off the facemask of the lid, which belonged to Golden Eagles defensive back Ed Wilkins.
Collins took the handoff on a seven-yard run in the second quarter and when he tried to get up Wilkins, one of the last Southern Miss players in on the stop, was along for the ride. An official helped free Wilkins from the helmet, then tried to remove said helmet from Collins' jersey before the Razorbacks staff took over.
A freshman, Collins would go over 100 yards in the game, making him the first player in SEC history to go over the century mark in each of his first three games.
But back to the absurd moment in his day, which prompts the question: is Collins familiar with this chart-topping Huey Lewis and the News tune? Yes, it came out 12 years before he was born, but it seems so fitting given his quality time with Wilkins' helmet, doesn't it?
