Late morning in Oxford, Miss. | October 24, 2009

The first drive in the 11:21-start football game between the University of Arkansas and the University of Mississippi at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss., leads one to believe that the Razorbacks defense possibly thought that because the Hogs nearly beat Florida last week the Mississippi offense would just lie down before them in this game.

It turns out that Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead and his crew didn’t believe the Arkansas press clippings and went on a long opening scoring drive for a 7-0 lead. Two drives later, it looks they’ve done it again. Ole Miss 14, Arkansas 0.

If this goes the way most Razorbacks comebacks go, they fall behind early, then fall just short.

That strategy Hogs fans had of “teaching Houston Dale Nutt a lesson” isn’t working out so well so far.
