FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — There comes a time when fans will get tired of shows without a show at home. Razorback Stadium had 72,894 fans show up for it, but most left midway through the third quarter as Ole Miss cruised to a 63-31 victory.

It’s the first time the Rebels have won in Fayetteville since 2008 and Lane Kiffin’s first win in Arkansas in his coaching career. The huge home losses continue to pile up under coach Sam Pittman, and they likely won’t be slowing down anytime soon.

The unfortunate record of pigs at home

What most are about to read will be offensive to some, but truth be told, Arkansas stinks at home. Teams around the league may not have realized it yet, but the once-feared venue has seen its home team fight for wins since 2022, which could be a historic stretch.

Pittman’s teams have been outscored 414-324 since hosting Alabama in 2022. Arkansas is 5-9 in that span with just two wins against SEC teams (Ole Miss 2022, Tennessee 2024).

In SEC games, Arkansas is now 2-7 in that span and has been outscored 302-165. That’s basically a 34-18 average, including five losses by 21 or more points.

The unstoppable offensive of the rebels

The Rebels barely eclipse 400 yards of total offense against league opponents at 406 yards per game (No. 7 SEC) and an average of just 24 points (No. 11 SEC). Ole Miss scored plenty of style points for the playoff committee after stomping through a mud hole in the Razorbacks.

Arkansas’ dreadful pass defense allowed Jaxson Dart to pass for an Ole Miss-record 515 yards on 25-of-31 passing and six touchdowns. Receiver Jordan Watkins entered the day with 295 yards and two touchdowns on the year, but was virtually unstoppable with eight receptions for 254 yards and six touchdowns.

Ole Miss attacked the Razorbacks secondary early and often shredded the unit for 562 yards, its most given up since 2021 vs. Alabama (Bryce Young 559 yards). The Rebels threw seven touchdown passes Saturday, which is the most against an Arkansas 2020 Florida defense.

Are the Hogs still a good team?

Arkansas has struggled to get anything going at home against any type of opponent since the 2022 season. Good teams don’t allow 60 or more points at home, allowing a struggling offense to be reignited and nearly double its average per game in the playoff game. conference.

There is an opportunity for the Razorbacks to be healthy again with a bye week before Texas comes to town. With bowl eligibility and a game against its biggest rival, this team has a chance to answer if they continue to fight or roll over.

“I told them if we’re not willing to fight now, then we’re not going to fight for the rest of our lives,” Pittman said after the match. “But if we do, we’re going to fight for the rest of our lives. I love this team. I hate that we got beat. I hate for the university. I hate for the state. But I love this team.”

“I know I’m going to get hell for it, but I’m doing it. I like children. I think they’re going to come back and fight and correct a lot of things that were wrong today if we can do it physically, which I have And come back and put on a good showing when we go out there and play Texas the next time we’re there .
