Arkansas drops epic Pirates of the Caribbean social media troll of Mississippi State
Arkansas pulled off one of the biggest upsets in recent college football history with a win at No. 16 Mississippi State. But it may have been their social media troll of Mike Leach’s Pirate nickname that won the night.
The Razorbacks created four turnovers, and a week after Mississippi State won at LSU, Arkansas set the SEC West into full-fledged spin cycle with the 21-14 victory.
Arkansas overcame two turnovers of its own, and overcame a yardage deficit when Mississippi State outgained the Razorbacks 400-275.
First-year coach Sam Pittman and new defensive coordinator Barry Odom led the Razorbacks to end the program’s 10-game overall losing streak, and 20-game SEC losing streak. Zone coverage caused problems for Leach’s Air Raid offensive attack as QB K.J. Costello looked much different than he did a week ago when he carved up the LSU defense.
QB Feleipe Franks was 20-for-28 passing for 212 yards and two touchdowns and the Razorbacks got valuable fill-in yards from Trelon Smith in place of the injured Rakeem Boyd. De’Vion Warren added four catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.
The Razorbacks will look to build on this next week when they meet Auburn.

WPS!!!!!!!!!!!
GO HAWGS!!!
Lol, that’s pretty good.
Good for Arkansas
This reminds me of MSU last week. Getting cocky. Yeah, Arky plays Auburn next week good luck with that one
Celebrating a win after a losing streak is one thing. that is not cocky. You as a Tenn fan knows what its like to lose.
Great win for Arkansas. Celebrating is understood a jabbing makes it that much more fun. Oh yeah…the Vols have an 8 game win streak going. Tied with two others for longest in the country. Even at our worst, we were still better than you WPS!
Does the name Joe Adams ring any bells? Look him up on YouTube and enjoy! WPS!!! GO HOGS!
Wsummitt…you really got me…one play from 8 years ago. I’m proud of ya! Yeeeessssiiiirrr…
Getting cocky? Or celebrating the end of their winless streak by beating a top-25 ranked West rival?
Seems like Mississippi State had an inflated value of self-worth in this game. Come back down to Earth guys.
