Ole Miss' offensive collapse against Arkanasas started with early-down failures

It was pretty much assumed that Ole Miss would be able to move the ball with ease against an Arkansas defense that didn’t appear to specialize in much of anything. Even stumbling through most of the first half, most concerns were lifted after Chad Kelly led a five-play, 48-second touchdown drive right before halftime. But just as the Rebel defense began solidifying in the second half, the offense collapsed.

Seeing Hugh Freeze’s offense juxtaposed with Arkansas coordinator Dan Enos’ group brought to light how fundamentally different the two teams are in terms of offensive philosophy and how they deploy their talent.
