The Ole Miss Rebels overcame miscues, sloppy defensive play and a two-score deficit to knock off Arkansas 37-33 on Saturday in Little Rock.
On a night that drenched War Memorial Stadium in rain, Ole Miss fought back in the second half after entering the intermission trailing 27-17. Jordan Ta’amu used his arms and his legs to garner 528 total yards, just 12 shy of Archie Manning’s mark of 540 against Alabama in 1969.
The Ole Miss defense, again, struggled, giving up 476 yards of offense to the Razorbacks, 299 of which came on the ground. The Rebels, however, allowed a mere six points in the second half, and were assisted with injuries to starting quarterback Ty Storey and running backs Rakeem Boyd and Devwah Whaley.
