Five reasons Ole Miss beats Arkansas on Saturday

A healthy KJ Jefferson may not be enough for Arkansas to beat Ole Miss.

A healthy KJ Jefferson gives Arkansas more than a puncher’s chance to beat Ole Miss on Saturday.

An unhealthy Jefferson? Uh oh.

The Razorbacks quarterback should be good to go (shoulder) when the two teams meet on Senior Day inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. That’s dynamite news for Arkansas faithful.

But even if he does, the Hogs have their hands full. Ole Miss has lost just twice this season, to LSU and Alabama, two teams No. 6 and No. 8 for the College Football Playoff. The Rebels are favorites, road favorites even, in the penultimate game of the regular season and Jefferson’s questionable health isn’t the only reason why.

We gave three reasons the Hogs could win earlier this week. Now it’s time to examine the five reasons Ole Miss could reach the coveted 10-win mark.
