Mississippi 34, Arkansas 24:
Bo Wallace threw for 407 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Rebels to a home win over the Razorbacks.

Donte Moncrief caught seven passes for 149 yards and a touchdown, while Ja-Mes Logan added five receptions for 110 yards and a score for Mississippi (6-3, 3-3 SEC). The Rebels racked up 419 passing yards, with Wallace and Barry Brunetti combining to complete 28-of-37.

Arkansas (3-7, 0-6) got 67 yards on 14 carries from Jonathan Williams. Brandon Allen completed 18-of-32 passes for 193 yards and two scores.

Mississippi fell behind 3-0 early but scored 13 straight points, with Brunetti scoring a 1-yard touchdown run between two Andrew Ritter field goals. Arkansas responded with an Allen-to-Hunter Henry 17-yard touchdown connection, but the Rebels pushed the lead up to 10 by halftime when Wallace found Laquon Treadwell with a 14-yard touchdown strike with 45 seconds to play in the half.

Kiero Small pulled the Razorbacks within three with a 1-yard touchdown run 3:31 into the third quarter, but Wallace completed two long scoring tosses — 75 yards to Logan and 52 yards to Moncrief — to put Mississippi in control again. Arkansas finally got back into the end zone on Allen's 20-yard scoring toss to Julian Horton with 4:57 to play, but the Razorbacks could get no closer.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Wallace's passing yardage was a career high for the junior. … Mississippi DL Robert Nkemdiche was ejected from the game with 4:57 to play following a personal foul penalty. … The Rebels became bowl eligible for the second straight season with the win after missing out on bowl games the previous two campaigns.
