Arkansas Razorbacks Lose SEC Opener 41-35 at No. 17 Ole Miss

The Arkansas Razorbacks suffered a narrow 41-35 loss to the No. 17 Ole Miss Rebels in their SEC opener, despite a strong offensive showing that totaled 522 yards. Backup Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss excelled, completing 72% of his passes for 353 yards and three touchdowns, while also leading the Rebels in rushing with two touchdowns. Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green put up impressive numbers with 305 passing yards, 111 rushing yards, and two touchdowns, but a late fumble by wide receiver Jalen Brown ended the Razorbacks' comeback bid. Arkansas' defense struggled throughout the game, allowing Ole Miss to score on nearly every drive in the first half and failing to contain Chambliss and the Rebels' offense. The game featured multiple momentum shifts, with both teams exchanging touchdowns and field goals, but Ole Miss held on after capitalizing on Arkansas' late mistakes. Arkansas missed a critical 51-yard field goal early on, and despite a perfect red zone efficiency, their defensive lapses proved decisive in the defeat.
