After two games on the road, the Arkansas Razorbacks are heading back home. The Razorbacks and the Ole Miss Rebels will face off in an SEC battle at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'
Arkansas was close but no cigar last week as they fell 30-28 to the Auburn Tigers. QB Feleipe Franks put forth a good effort for the losing side as he passed for four TDs and 318 yards on 30 attempts.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 21-21 at halftime, but Ole Miss was not quite the Alabama Crimson Tide's equal in the second half when they met last week. The game between them was not particularly close, with Ole Miss falling 63-48. Yes, you read that final score correctly. And yes, they were playing football. Despite their defeat, Ole Miss got to see several of their players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. RB Snoop Conner, who rushed for two TDs and 128 yards on 21 carries, was the best among equals.
The losses bumped both teams down to an identical 1-2. A couple numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Arkansas enters the matchup having picked the ball off four times, good for 10th in the nation. But the Rebels come into the contest boasting the ninth fewest thrown interceptions in the nation at one. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
