FAYETTEVILLE — When Arkansas defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads looked back on Saturday’s 38-37 comeback win at Ole Miss, he found a clear point at which his defense started played well.
It was at the 10:51 mark of the second quarter when Ole Miss scored to go ahead 31-7.
The Rebels had amassed 372 of their 566 yards total offense in their first five possessions, but only managed two field goals in their final nine possessions.
“I think it was a constant message about just continuing to play, continue to execute what their assignments were and do their jobs as we like to say,” Rhoads said.
