Arkansas at Ole Miss by the numbers: Rebels airing it out

Heading into this week’s game at No. 9 LSU, the Razorbacks are second in the Southeastern Conference with an average of 472.6 yards of offense per game.

My personal memories of Razorback football date back to 1974, I’ve read extensively about past Razorbacks exploits, interviewed scores of former Razorbacks players, coaches and staff and heard many great tales, but I’ve never seen nor heard or really even imagined any Razorback play remotely as wild as the one we witnessed last Saturday on that 4th-and-25 play.

Sure enough, Brandon Allen threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Drew Morgan, and then ran it in for the 2-point conversion, lifting the Razorbacks to a dramatic 53-52 victory over the Rebels last weekend.

After the play, the CBS affiliate in Monroe, La., switched to the Alabama-LSU game and that caused Jones to miss Arkansas’ final touchdown in overtime. “Sometimes, they had the flawless call, just like we did offensively”.

5 Combinations of offensive linemen have been started by Ole Miss in the Rebels’ past five games. “I thought he was playing like a fifth year senior should play”. Laquon Treadwell was Kelly’s most prolific pass-catcher, as the IL native racked up 132 yards, his fifth straight game with at least 100 receiving yards a touchdown.

“It’s not where we want to be”, Bielema said of the record and state of the program.

Ole Miss is scoring 39.4 points per game, which ranks first in the SEC and 13th in the nation….

With two conference losses, the Rebels are behind both Alabama and LSU no matter what happens in Tuscaloosa.

“Our whole thing has been, ‘Let’s become a very good passing team, ‘” Enos said. The junior, the Razorbacks primary runner since Jonathan Williams’ preseason foot injury, has 3,086 yards rushing in his career – passing former standouts Felix Jones and Cedric Cobbs last week for fourth on the school’s career rushing list.

Will Ole Miss win this one big or will Arkansas pull off an upset?

Ole Miss looked like it might take control when Kelly hit Quincy Adeboyejo for a 17-yard touchdown to give the Rebels a 45-38 lead with 4:55 remaining.

Allen’s improvement as a passer has added a unsafe element to the Razorbacks’ offense, which has broken the 50-point barrier in each of the last three games.

Chad Kelly was 24 of 34 for 368 yards and 3 TDs and 110 rushing yards and 3 TD’s against Arkansas. Just like me calling Brandon Allen clutch, I reserve the right to change my opinion. “You know we’re going to win in overtime.’ It was nearly like a celebration because we were going into overtime”.
