The Razorbacks put up a valiant effort throughout the game. Their offense managed to accumulate a total of 286 yards with an average gain of 4.2 yards per play over the course of 68 plays. The passing game was particularly notable as they completed 25 out of their 39 attempts for a total of 250 yards and two touchdowns; one being a significant play that resulted in a longest touchdown pass for 17 yards. Despite being sacked five times, the quarterback maintained an impressive passer rating of approximately 125.


Arkansas's rushing attack struggled against Ole Miss's defense, managing only to gain an average of just over one yard per carry for a total rush yardage count at just above thirty-five. However, their red zone efficiency was impeccable with both attempts resulting in scores.


Special teams also contributed to Arkansas's points tally as they successfully converted two field goals with one remarkable long-range effort from beyond fifty yards contributing to their scoreline.


Penalties seemed to plague both teams equally; however, it was noteworthy that Arkansas incurred ten penalties amounting to seventy penalty yards which could have been decisive moments within the game.


On defense, Arkansas managed two sacks and seven tackles for loss among other defensive efforts but were unable to force any turnovers through interceptions or fumble recoveries which might have shifted momentum more firmly in their favor.


The Rebels' performance should not be overlooked as they secured twenty-seven points including scoring ten points each in both the first and fourth quarters while keeping Arkansas scoreless during the second quarter which helped them maintain control throughout most parts of the game.


As fans look forward towards future games after this hard-fought battle on turf before an attendance crowd numbering over sixty-five thousand spectators at Oxford city stadium; it is important to note that there will be no rest for The Razorbacks as they prepare for another challenging encounter against Alabama Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium located in Tuscaloosa on October fourteenth scheduled at eleven AM Central Time (CT).
