Arkansas vs. Ole Miss made no sense, which makes sense

Arkansas, a 1-5 that got blown out by North Texas, was up by six points over Ole Miss, a 4-2 team that wields one of the best offenses in college football. The Rebels had just missed a field goal early in the fourth quarter and looked ready to roll over against perhaps the only winnable opponent on their SEC schedule. Matt Luke, the interim-turned-permanent head coach whose job status has been a hot topic since his team was eviscerated by LSU two weeks ago, could no doubt feel the seat of his pants warming. If you’ve paid any attention to this rivalry over the past half decade, that all makes perfect sense.
