Ole Miss improves to 5-1 after shutting down Arkansas and KJ Jefferson

The Ole Miss defense shined brightest on a night when the Rebels needed it most in a 27-20 win in Oxford.

Ole Miss (5-1, 2-1 SEC) had an offense that never seemed to get into a good rhythm as the Razorbacks (2-4, 0-3 SEC) held the Rebels passing attack to a paltry 153 yards. With a 17-13 Ole Miss lead headed into the fourth quarter, Arkansas drove down the field in a 72-yard touchdown drive to take the lead momentarily. But the Rebels responded with a drive of its own with Ulysses Bentley scoring from seven yards out.
