After such a painful loss to the No. 17 Ole Miss Rebels (3-0, 2-0 SEC), the Arkansas Razorbacks (2-1, 0-1), as the Hogs were on their way to scoring a touchdown before wide receiver Jalen Brown fumbled the ball trying to battle for additional yards, allowing Lane Kiffin's team to avoid an upset, are obviously disappointed in the outcome.
However, the Razorbacks have many reasons to be excited about their performance on the road in Oxford, Mississippi, against the Rebels. Before continuing with explaining why they should be excited about their performance against Ole Miss, it's vital to understand that this isn't an effort to articulate a moral victory for Hogs because the present writer is under no illusion that such a victory doesn't appear on the scoreboard, on a team's record, or in any statistics.
