After a commanding 58-25 victory over Mississippi State, the Arkansas Razorbacks are setting their sights on their next opponent, No. 18 Ole Miss. In Saturday’s game, Arkansas delivered an impressive performance at Davis Wade Stadium, leading 31-10 by halftime and ultimately overwhelming the Bulldogs. This win brings Arkansas to a 5-3 overall record and 3-2 in the SEC, keeping many of their preseason ambitions alive.
Arkansas fans, hopeful for another strong showing next week, know that Ole Miss will pose a more challenging test. The Rebels, who defeated Oklahoma 26-14, will bring tough competition to Fayetteville. However, if the Razorbacks replicate their high level of play from Starkville, they stand a solid chance against Ole Miss—and potentially against Texas later in the season.
Coach Sam Pittman praised his team’s resolve after last week’s loss to LSU, highlighting a determined, mistake-minimizing performance. Quarterback Taylen Green led the charge, throwing five touchdown passes and rushing for one, while freshman Braylen Russell ran for 175 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown. The Razorback defense also excelled, winning the turnover battle 5-1 and securing four sacks along with crucial goal-line stops.
After the game, Green spoke about the team’s focus on staying level-headed and learning from both strengths and areas for improvement. Pittman, proud of Green’s play and leadership, remarked that he sees Green’s potential as game-changing for Arkansas. With momentum building, the Razorbacks are ready to give Ole Miss all they’ve got in their quest for another big win.
