LIVE UPDATES: No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels Host Arkansas Razorbacks
OXFORD, Miss. -- The No. 16 Ole Miss Rebels are set to host the Arkansas Razorbacks on the gridiron Saturday night following the team's thrilling 55-49 upset win over the LSU Tigers in Week 5.
The last time the Razorbacks came to Oxford in 2021, the Rebels won an electric 52-51 shootout after only seven combined points were scored in the first quarter. Ole Miss is looking for payback this season, as Arkansas smacked the Rebels 42-27 in Fayetteville.
The Razorbacks started the season off 2-0 but later fell to the BYU Cougars, LSU Tigers, and the Texas A&M Aggies, respectively. LSU beat Arkansas 34-31, while A&M won 34-22. A win over Arkansas would put the Rebels in a good position in the race for the SEC West crown entering their bye week.
