Is Justin Bieber to blame for Arkansas football's embarrassing loss to San Jose State this weekend?
Razorbacks QB Nick Starkel seems to think so ... and that's why he's throwing away the famous JB shirt he wears under his pads for every game.
BACKSTORY -- Starkel is a HUGE Bieber fan. In fact, back in 2018, he sent a video to Ellen DeGeneres begging her to help him meet Justin because the singer is his hero!
As a tribute, Starkel also wears a Bieber shirt when he plays .
