– Arkansas really goes for it and the DAWGS STAY TALL! Landing turnover. MSU ball. Dawgs at their 1-yard line with 8:16 left in the third quarter. State still leads 27-10.
– Arkansas moved the ball to the MSU 2 and had a first and goal. The Dawg D has stood tall and it’s now 4th and goal from the 1. The Hogs would make it, but a timeout was called on MSU.
– BULLDOG TOUCHDOWN! And our first celebration of the day with duck movements like Caleb Ducking capped a six-play, 58-yard drive with a 33-yard TD reception on a throw from Will Rogers. The Dawgs fumble the PAT attempt so it’s unsuccessful, but MSU leads Arkansas 27-10 with 11:16 left in the third quarter.
– And Dawg D follows by forcing a three-and-out. Good start for the state in the third quarter.
– The second half begins and it begins with Arkansas unable to handle the start. It rolls into the end zone after closing. The Hogs barely come out and the Dawgs stop Arkansas on their own.
– FIRST HALF: Mississippi State 21, Arkansas 10

– And Arkansas quickly finds the end zone for a touchdown. Three plays and 71 yards. A 68-yard pass took the Hogs to the 3-yard line before they punted. After the PAT, MSU’s lead is now 21-10 with 1:11 left in the half.
– MSU’s ensuing drive stalls on a fourth-and-short in Arkansas territory. Pigs take over on their own 29.

– Dawg D forces a 3-and-out. Thomas the Tank Engine returns an Arkansas punt at the Hog 40, so much field position for the Dawgs. Still 14-0 State with 12:05 left in the second quarter.
– Well, the MSU drive doesn’t score, but ends up with a fantastic shot Archer Trafford. Jaden Walley it lands inside the Hog 1-yard line and that’s where Arkansas will start.
