If there were a list that existed of games that Ole Miss<\/strong> fans would love to see avenged, this week\u2019s game would be at the top. The Rebels<\/strong> will have that opportunity as they face off against the Arkansas Razorback<\/strong>. The last we saw of this Razorback team was when we lost to them in 2015, 53-52 in overtime. <\/span>
\nThat game was highlighted by Arkansas\u2019 conversion of an improbable fourth and 25. The play included an over-the-head lateral that eventually led to a first down that extended the game. A game that was lost on a two point conversion in overtime.<\/span>
\nThe Rebels are hoping this year\u2019s version of their rivalry against the Hogs will be a little more joyous. There is plenty of motivation for Ole Miss this week. In what is usually deemed as a sign of disrespect in the sports world, the Rebels will be Arkansas\u2019 homecoming opponent. This is a designation normally reserved for your lesser teams or non-conference opponents. So, scheduling Ole Miss as this year\u2019s homecoming foe adds fuel to the fire.<\/span>
\nArkansas will bring a lot of talent to the field. Last year\u2019s star Hog quarterback Brandon Allen is gone. However, he has been replaced by his younger brother Austin. Allen is coming off of a 400-yard game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. He threw for three touchdown but also threw to three interceptions. <\/span>
\nThe Tide jumped to a substantial lead early which forced Allen and the Razorbacks to pass more often. He attempted 48 passes. However, Arkansas\u2019 offense is not built to be a pass-heavy offense. They are successful when they can have a healthy dose of runs.<\/span>
\nBut victory for the Rebels will have little to do with Arkansas. When the Rebels\u2019 offense is clicking for four quarters, there is not a team in the country that can beat us. Our passing offense is second in the conference behind Missouri. That\u2019s only because they haven\u2019t faced the teams that we have faced this year. <\/span>
\nChad Kelly and his bevy of receivers are unmatched in the SEC. If they execute, we should win. The defense just has play well enough to make Arkansas work for points. But vengeance shall be ours. Ole Miss 48 Arkansas 34\u00a0\"The<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
