The boos were loud and they were regular from Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Saturday.
Arkansas left the field after its game with Mississippi State losers for the sixth straight time, falling 7-3, in front of a less-than-packed home stadium for the Razorbacks’ first game in Fayetteville in a month.
The Hogs scored on their first possession, but only after starting in Mississippi State territory after an interception. Cam Little booted a 26-yard field goal and things were looking up.
They never would again.
Arkansas finished with just 168 yards of total offense, its worst output of the season and remained winless in SEC play, falling to 0-5. The Razorbacks have four games left, but can’t lose any if they want to achieve a bowl berth.
Sam Pittman’s team had a final chance after Mississippi State missed 29-yard field goal with 1:14 left, but with no timeouts left, Arkansas stalled out at the Mississippi State 48. A last-ditch Hail Mary throw from KJ Jefferson was batted at the goal line.
