Arkansas didn’t waste any time spoiling Mike Wright’s start for Mississippi State as Will Rogers is out. Wright threw an interception to Al Walcott on the Mississippi State 35-yard line on his first pass of the game.

The Razorbacks were happy to be back home in Fayetteville after a brutal road stretch that led to a 4-game losing streak. Rogers suffered a serious left shoulder injury 2 weeks ago against Western Michigan, and even though the Bulldogs had a bye week, he couldn’t get back to play this week.

Arkansas went 5 plays, but settled for a 24-yard field goal from Cam Little after a 3rd down and 4 pass near the goal line from KJ Jefferson to Ty Washington fell incomplete.

That interception from Walcott was Arkansas’ 12th takeaway as a team this season, which is tied with Vanderbilt for first in the SEC.

On the next Bulldogs’ drive, they went 4 plays and out to give the ball back to Jefferson and the Hogs.
