Arkansas was certainly the better team here. The Hogs were more efficient, especially on standard downs, and they had five 20+ yard gains to Ole Miss' three. But it very much cracks me up that these two teams had the same number of scoring opportunities, and one team won by 30. That's hard to do.

Arkansas' six scoring opportunities: TD, FG, TD, MFG, FG, FG. That's not great.

Ole Miss' six scoring opportunities: FUM, INT, Downs, INT, Downs, FUM, INT. That's amazing.
