History

The rivalry between Arkansas and Ole Miss developed partially due to geography. Besides being neighboring states in the
southeastern United States The Southeastern United States, also referred to as the American Southeast or simply the Southeast, is a geographical region of the United States. It is located broadly on the eastern portion of the southern United States and the southern por ...
, from the University of Arkansas' perspective, before the addition of Missouri, the University of Mississippi was closer in terms of distance than any other Southeastern Conference school. Arkansas has played Ole Miss more than any other SEC opponent with the exception of Texas A&M.


Pre 1980s

The teams were first scheduled to meet each other in 1906, but due to a cancellation, the two teams began play against one another in a 1908 contest in which Arkansas won by a score of 33–0. Arkansas and Mississippi played many times sporadically in the following years. In addition to several single years of playing each other, the two teams played each other from 1940–47 and 1952–62 on an annual basis. The Razorbacks and Rebels also met twice in the

Notable games


1908 – First Meeting

Arkansas 33 – Ole Miss 0 The very first meeting between the two teams was a 1908 contest in which Arkansas won 33–0. The teams were first scheduled to meet each other in 1906, but due to a cancellation, the 1908 contest was the first meeting.


1914 – Contentious result

Arkansas lists the 1914 contest as a forfeit by Ole Miss because Ole Miss used an ineligible player. Ole Miss denies the allegation of using an ineligible player and therefore lists the contest by the recorded on the field winning score of 13–7 in favor of Ole Miss. Therefore, the two school's official records for the overall series shows a one-game difference.

on the hot seat. The Rebels, however, surprised the Razorbacks by opening up a 17–0 lead in the second quarter behind quarterback Randall Mackey. A late touchdown brought Arkansas to within 10 points. The Razorbacks continued in the third quarter with a 19–0 scoring run, including two touchdown runs by quarterback Tyler Wilson and a safety; the Razorbacks were up 26–17. Arkansas added a field goal in the fourth quarter before the Rebels rallied: Ole Miss closed within 29–24 late in the game and was able to recover an onside kick. The Rebels's chance of a winning touchdown was thwarted with Eric Bennett's interception of Randall Mackey with little time remaining, sealing the win for Arkansas. Arkansas moved up to 6–1 (2–1 SEC) while Ole Miss fell to 2–5 (0–4 SEC). The win was Arkansas's second in a row in the series, and it was Houston Nutt's final game against his former team. He was fired at the end of the 2011 season.

called the play "divine intervention." The uniqueness of the play led to widespread media attention and replays. After Arkansas scored an ensuing touchdown, they chose to go for two, even though overtime rules do not require a two-point conversion attempt until the 3rd overtime. The first attempt appeared to result in a quarterback sack and a victory for the Rebels, but Ole Miss' Marquis Haynes was called for an obvious face-mask penalty, which gave the Razorbacks another chance. On the next play, Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen ran it into the end zone. The win moved Arkansas one game closer to eventual bowl eligibility. For Ole Miss, the loss meant they no longer controlled their own destiny in the SEC West for the 2015 season as they had previously coming into the game.

2016 − Battle Between Ranked Teams

No. 22 Arkansas 34 – No. 12 Ole Miss 30 The 2016 meeting between the two teams was the first between the two when both were ranked since 1970. Ole Miss was looking for a measure of revenge after the previous season's overtime loss to Arkansas, which effectively knocked the Rebels out of contention for the SEC Championship Game. But Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen, younger brother of former Hog QB Brandon Allen, engineered a solid offense for the Razorbacks all game long. Allen was helped by sophomore running back Rawleigh Williams III's 180 yards rushing, and a strong performance from Arkansas' defense, which held Ole Miss to a season low 30 points, and kept QB Chad Kelly from amassing his 2015 offensive totals. The game was tied 20-20 at halftime, but Arkansas scored the only points of the third quarter, and held a 27-20 lead in the fourth. Kelly lead Ole Miss to ten unanswered points, and the Rebels took the lead with nine minutes to play. After the teams traded punts, Allen guided the Hogs down the field, and receiver Jared Cornelius scored on a six-yard end around play, to give Arkansas back the lead, 34-30, with only two minutes and twenty seconds to play. After Arkansas defensive lineman Jeremiah Ledbetter sacked Kelly on third down, and the Rebels were penalized five yards for a false start, it was fourth down and sixteen, with the game on the line. Kelly took the snap, rolled left, and tucked the ball to try and run for the first down. It appeared that Kelley had the first, but he was hit hard by Arkansas safety Santos Ramirez, and the ball popped out of Kelly's grasp and rolled out of bounds behind the line to gain. That turned over the ball to the Razorbacks, and Austin Allen took a knee on three plays to run out the clock. It was Arkansas' third consecutive victory over Ole Miss.


2021 − Battle Between Ranked Teams II

No. 13 Arkansas 51 – No. 17 Ole Miss 52 The 2021 matchup was the first since 2016 in which both teams were ranked. Ole Miss was ranked #17 coming off of a 42-21 loss to Alabama the week before, while Arkansas was ranked #13 coming off of a humiliating 37-0 shutout defeat at the hands of 2nd-ranked Georgia in Athens. The game, which took place during Ole Miss' Homecoming Weekend, proved to be a high-scoring affair for the entire duration, as both teams traded touchdowns and neither team had a lead of greater than 10 points. At the end of the game, Arkansas had scored a touchdown to make it 52-51 Ole Miss, but instead of going for the extra point to force overtime, Sam Pittman elected to go for 2 points. This caused Ole Miss fans to become very anxious, as this was the exact same score as the 2015 game (the only difference being that that game went to overtime), where a successful 2-point attempt from Arkansas kept Ole Miss from winning the SEC West (as while they beat the eventual division winner Alabama, they had two losses to Florida 38-10 and eventually Arkansas 53-52 in overtime) and going to the SEC Championship in Atlanta. Ole Miss however was successfully able to stop the 2-point attempt and won 52-51. The Rebels would go on to finish 10-3 (6-2 in the SEC) and lost to Baylor 21-7 in the Sugar Bowl, finishing #11 in the rankings. Arkansas finished 9-4 (4-4 in the SEC), and won the Outback Bowl 24-10 over Penn State while finishing #21 in the rankings.
