The Daily Hatch

Highlights of the #9 Razorbacks 29-24 victory over the Mississippi Rebels. The Black Bears would have a 17-0 2nd quarter lead, but the Hogs would score 29 straight points and would pick off a late Mississippi rally too hand them their 10th straight SEC loss. The win was the second straight over Houston Dale Nutt and his Rebels. Dennis Johnson would rush for a career high 160 yards on only 15 carries. Arkansas now leads the all-time series 32-25-1.

Arkansas and Ole Miss football rivalry Part 3

Wikipedia talks about the Arkansas and Ole Miss football rivalry:

[edit] Notable games

[edit] 1908 – First Meeting

Arkansas 33 – Ole Miss 0

The very first meeting between the two teams was a 1908 contest in which Arkansas won by a score of 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.

[edit] 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.^{[8] [9] [10]} Therefore, the two school’s official records for the overall series shows a one game difference. As of the 2010 Arkansas win, Ole Miss lists the series as 30–26–1 in favor of Arkansas while Arkansas lists the series as 31–25–1 in Arkansas’ favor.

[edit] 1954 – Powder River Pass

Arkansas 6 – Ole Miss 0

Arkansas and Ole Miss met in War Memorial Stadium on October 23, 1954. The game was scoreless until the Razorbacks called a trick play: a 66-yard halfback pass from halfback Buddy Bob Benson to Preston Carpenter for the only points of the game. Arkansas head coach Bowden Wyatt named the play after the Powder River, a river in his native Wyoming. The river is a mile wide but deceptively only a foot deep. With the 6–0 win, Arkansas would go on to fall in the 1955 Cotton Bowl Classic against Bobby Dodd‘s Georgia Tech, and the Rebels would continue to the 1955 Sugar Bowl, losing to Navy.

[edit] 1959

Ole Miss 28 – Arkansas 0

The 1959 contest was won by Ole Miss 28–0 in Memphis, Tennessee on their way to a final record of 10–1 for the 1959 season and one of their three claimed national championships.

[edit] 1960

Ole Miss 10 – Arkansas 7

The 1960 contest between the teams was won by Ole Miss 10–7 at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock, Arkansas, on their way to a final record of 10–0–1 for the 1960 season and the second of their three claimed national championships. Sometimes called the Tommy Bell game by Arkansas fans, he called a timeout in an attempt to quiet Razorback fans.^[11] Rebel Allen Green did not hear the whistle and kicked the ball through the uprights. After the timeout, fans swear Bell signaled that the kick was good as soon as Green connected with the ball. Fans also swear that the kick was no good. Fighting broke out all around the stadium and because of this, the annual series between the two schools was played the next year in Jackson and then was canceled until the two teams renewed the series in 1981.

[edit] 1963 Sugar Bowl with National Championship implications

Ole Miss 17 – Arkansas 13

The January 1, 1963 Sugar Bowl in New Orleans was played between the two teams as a end to the 1962 regular season. It was both the Razorbacks’ and Rebels’ fourth bowl in four seasons, and was the second straight Sugar Bowl for Arkansas.

After each team kicked field goals, Ole Miss scored the first touchdown, a 33 yard strike from Glynn Griffing to Louis Guy gave the Rebels a 10–3 lead.^[12] The Hogs replied with a five yard touchdown toss from Billy Moore to knot the game at 10. Ole Miss QB Griffing then scored on a one-yard touchdown scamper. The Razorbacks would tack on a field goal, but neither team could dent the scoreboard in the fourth quarter. Ole Miss won the game by a final score of 17–13 to finish the season 10–0 and win a share of the 1962 national championship in college football. This was their third of three national championships Ole Miss claims.
