Commentary on first half:  On offense, Jaxson Dart is 10-17 with just 98 yards passing in the first half. The Rebels have a total of 191 yards of offense. Ole Miss is really struggling on 3rd down, going 0-6 thus far against Arkansas. Ulysses Bentley IV has been a bright spot. He has 29 yards on 4 carries, a 7.3 yard per carry average.

NOW — for the Ole Miss defense! Pete Golding’s defense is playing very well. KJ Jefferson has been held in check on the ground, rushing for just 6 yards on 10 attempts. In fact, the Hogs have just 9 total yards rushing on 16 attempts! Passing, Jefferson is 12-19 for 113. He has one passing TD, but also has 1 INT (Ashanti Cistrunk) that led to an Ole Miss TD.
