The Arkansas Razorbacks’ 53-52 overtime victory at Ole Miss last season was perhaps the best game of the 2015 SEC schedule.
Facing a 4th-and-25 scenario in overtime, QB Brandon Allen found TE Hunter Henry along the right sideline, short of the first-down marker. As he was being tackled, Henry desperately heaved the ball back toward his teammates in the middle of the field, where RB Alex Collins scooped it up and picked up the first down.
The play is known as the “Henry Heave”/”Hunter Heave” and led to the formation of Arkansas fan site: www.4thand25.com.
Arkansas season ticket holders will be reminded of that game-saving play when the Rebels come to Fayetteville this season, thanks to the photo Arkansas chose to put on the ticket:

The Arkansas-Ole Miss rematch is set for Saturday, Oct. 15, in Fayetteville.
The Razorbacks probably shouldn’t count on another miracle finish against QB Chad Kelly and company this season. A lower-scoring, non-overtime game would seem to favor the 2016 version of the Hogs.
