The pain and stinging prickle of defeat spread across the face of Hugh Freeze as he sat in a small room outside of the visiting locker room at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback stadium, the site of Ole Miss’ third straight defeat to Arkansas, this one by a score of 34-30.
“It stings,” Freeze said. “It hurts. Give credit to them, but we certainly leave here feeling like we let one get away.”
Ole Miss did let one get away. Victory slipped from its hands in the waining minutes of the fourth quarter as Arkansas marched 56 yards, getting a third down and fourth down conversion before a Jared Cornelius six-yard touchdown rush put the Razorbacks ahead for one final time with 2:20 remaining in the game.
