Arkansas is getting embarrassed by Ole Miss and the reactions are as unkind as you’d imagine
Published:
Looking for its first SEC win of the season, Arkansas appeared to have a puncher’s chance of earning it in Oxford Saturday against a banged up Ole Miss team without its starting quarterback. Instead, the Razorbacks are making the Rebels look like an elite SEC contender in the first half of the Week 9 SEC opener.
The route began immediately, as the Razorbacks gave up a 64-yard touchdown run to Ole Miss running back Jordan Wilkins on the second play of the game. Things haven’t exactly trended up since that time as Arkansas got down 31-7 midway into the second quarter.
To say the reaction to the game has been negative for Arkansas would be an understatement. At this point, it looks like Bret Bielema may not be welcome back to Fayetteville for next week’s Coastal Carolina game.

Actually housed doesn’t even describe it. Ole Miss is beating Arkansas WORSE than Alabama beat the Rebels. Let that sink in.

The belief within the industry that a change would happen at Arkansas ticked up this week. Something has to give after another stink bomb.

The #Razorbacks are getting boat raced by a 3-4 Ole Miss team under investigation with an interim head coach and a first time starter at QB.

Arkansas has given up 66 points in the last three quarters and five minutes. Today: 31 to Ole Miss w backup QB. Unbelievable collapse.
