Rocket Sanders went in for the score, the first of Arkansas’ day, but the Hogs’ first scoring drive was about the play that came before.
Jadon Haselwood found himself wide open on the sideline around midfield and quarterback Malik Hornsby, after rolling out, found him. Haselwood hauled down the right sideline before being taken out 68 yards later at the Mississippi State 3.
Sanders scored on the next play, his 11th carry for 45 total yards in the first half for the SEC’s leading rusher.
Arkansas’ offense has had much more going for it with Hornsby in the game than starter Cade Fortin. Offensive coordinator Kendal Briles has largely spent the game alternating between the two.
Expect that to stop after halftime.
