Arkansas vs. Mississippi State Summary

Arkansas secured a dominant win over Mississippi State on Saturday. The Razorbacks were dominant in all quarters of the game as they sealed a 58-25 victory over the Bulldogs.

Quarterback Taylen Green had a dominant showing, tossing five touchdown passes and adding another score on the ground. He commanded a Razorback offense that exploded for 673 total yards, amassing 359 on the ground and 314 through the air in a remarkable offensive display.

Mississippi State had two potential touchdowns ruled out by the official on video review, which wasn’t helpful for the team in their quest for a win. This was followed by a missed field goal in the closing minutes of the half as they ended the first half 21 points behind.

The Bulldogs were a much better team in the third quarter as they scored 15 points. However, the Razorbacks came back more dominant in the final phase of the game, limiting their opponent to zero points in the fourth quarter as they went on to claim the win.

The loss is a major step back for Mississippi State. The team had held its own against SEC top guns like Texas, Georgia and Texas A&M. However, the performance against Arkansas is nothing to write home about, showcasing there’s still a lot of work for Jeff Lebby to do.
