Ole Miss Week 12 Opponent Preview: Arkansas Razorbacks

The Rebels will hit the road the week prior to the Egg Bowl to face the Hogs.

Last season's bout between the Ole Miss Rebels and Arkansas Razorbacks was one that will be remembered in college football history. Have we come to expect anything less in this rivalry?

The Rebels held on for a 52-51 win over the Hogs in Oxford, sparked by a last-second score by Arkansas and a missed two-point conversion after time expired. ESPN named that contest the best college football game of 2021, and the matchups between Ole Miss and Arkansas have been wild in general over the last few seasons.

What will the Razorbacks bring to the table when the Rebels come to town this season? Here's an overarching preview of the team in Fayetteville.
