Three takeaways from Ole Miss’ narrow victory over Arkansas

Ole Miss found itself in a battle against the unranked Arkansas Razorbacks until very late in the fourth quarter. Chalk it up to a hangover from the LSU game, or playing down to the level of their opponents, but the Rebels escaped the fierce battle to move to 5-1 on the season.

Through all the struggles, though, there were many things that stood out in fairly positive ways that Ole Miss fans can look forward to going into the bye week.

Defense with an impressive first-half stand

The Rebel defense stepped up tremendously after giving up a season-high 49 points to LSU last weekend.
