We climb into our Throwback Thursday time capsule this week and head back to 1998, Houston Nutt’s first season.
November 7, 1998
Arkansas was 7-0 and had climbed to No. 11 in the polls following a victory on the road over Auburn on Halloween.
Ole Miss was led by Tommy Tuberville, who had been the other finalist in the coaching search that had taken place the previous winter, and would eventually leave for Auburn following season.
Nutt won out in that search, and probably had a chip on his shoulder against the Rebels.
