As Eric put so well the feeling of impending doom lingered even with a significant lead late in the fourth quarter against Ole Miss. Ty Storey, Rakeem Boyd, and Devwah Whaley were all out and with 4:15 left the only punctuation needed on this game was a couple first downs.
The Razorbacks had just given up a 10 play 84 yard touchdown drive to Ole Miss to set the score 33-31 with 4:15 left to play. It was obvious the momentum dramatically shifted after that drive. The options were: be aggressive and risk a turnover setting Ole Miss up in scoring range, or try to pick up a couple first downs killing some time then take a shot down the field.
