Ole Miss befuddled by Arkansas' opportunistic defense

FAYETTEVILLE — Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin and quarterback Matt Corral both showed up for their Zoom press conferences Saturday with puzzled looks on their faces.

That was the result of the defensive game plan put together by Arkansas defensive coordinator Barry Odom and first-year head coach Sam Pittman that forced seven turnovers.

Arkansas (2-2) intercepted six Corral passes and stymied one of the nation's best offenses in a 33-21 victory. The Razorbacks returned two interceptions for touchdowns: 35 yards by Jalen Catalon in the second quarter and 23 yards by Grant Morgan to cap the scoring late in the fourth quarter.
