Hogs find out Mississippi State’s defense as good as advertised

By ESPN Arkansas News Services

Arkansas won’t win a game in the SEC West this year and it will take a road win on Friday to avoid the worst season in program history after losing to Mississippi State on Saturday, 52-6.

The Bulldogs came in with one of the top defenses in the nation and the Razorbacks’ offense couldn’t do much against it at all.

The game actually wasn’t as close as the final score indicated.

State put up 475 yards of total offense, including 287 on the ground in completely dismantling the Hogs’ defense.

The Bulldogs led 3-0 at the end of the first quarter before pulling away to a 17-3 halftime lead.

Connor Limpert had a pair of field goals for the only Arkansas scores on the day.

In the third quarter, State ran away completely, building a 38-6 lead before coasting home in the final period playing mostly backups.

The loss drops the Hogs to 2-9 overall and 0-7 in the SEC. They will finish the season the day after Thanksgiving at Missouri.
