Arkansas (3-4, 2-3), which has scored only 65 points this season, had its best drive to open the second half, but running back Carlton Gray fumbled into the end zone.

Michael Lowery, who also had an interception, recovered Gray’s fumble which Ole Miss followed with a 31-yard miss by Grant.

Ole Miss got off to a quick start when Smith returned the opening kickoff 55 yards to the Arkansas 43 and then had a 22-yard run. Lawrence Adams kept for 16 yards to the two-yard line, but the Rebels couldn’t punch it in and had to settle for Grant’s 23-yard kick.

Just before halftime, Ole Miss drove to the two, but Smith fumbled the ball and ended up with an 11-yard loss and Grant came on to kick his third field goal.

Arkansas got to the Rebels 49 in the first half, but quarterback Barry Lunney was sacked on consecutive plays and then threw an incomplete pass.
