Mississippi State emerged victorious in a closely contested NCAA football match against Arkansas, with a final score of 7-3. The game saw Mississippi State's quarterback, Mike Wright, starting in place of Will Rogers, while Chris Parson served as the backup. Arkansas had a chance to take an early lead with a field goal, but had to settle for three points. However, Mississippi State's defense proved strong as Al Walcott intercepted Mike Wright's first pass, giving the Hogs an early advantage. Despite a delay of game penalty, Arkansas managed to pin Mississippi State at their own 2-yard line with a well-executed punt. In the end, Mississippi State secured the victory, leaving Arkansas disappointed with a 7-3 loss. The game was a significant moment for both teams and will undoubtedly impact their standings in the NCAA football season.
Appears that was the fewest points for Mississippi State in a victory since a 6-3 defeat of then-No. 1 Alabama in 1980.
Mississippi State, which hadn’t held an FBS team to less than 24 points this year, limits Arkansas to a field goal in 7-3 win. 1st time Arkansas didn’t score TD since 37-0 loss to Georgia in 2021
Arkansas falls 7-3 to Mississippi State in an absolutely anemic performance, remains one of 7 P5 teams without a P5 win.

Arkansas' best/only offensive drive of the game ends in a field goal attempt, only to get a delay of game after it took a while for the kicking team to line up. Delay of game penalty knocks Arkansas out of FG range and they punt. Just a calamity of an exchange there.
Arkansas comes up short on a third down run, making it 4th and 2 from the MSU 33. Pittman elects to send out the field goal unit. Arkansas gets a delay of game to fall out of field goal range. Pittman elects to punt.
Wow. Cam Little trotted out on the field for a 51-yard FG, but there's a delay of game penalty and Arkansas punts. At least it's a good one from Fletcher, who pins MSSU at its own 2. Inexcusable, though, from the Hogs. https://t.co/eubRTXNFYr
A pick play on 3rd down doesn't get executed, and Arkansas has to settle for a field goal despite the terrific field position. Of course, Cam Little is true and the Hogs lead 3-0 early. https://t.co/eubRTXNFYr
Mike Wright's first pass is picked off. Arkansas' first possession starts in field goal range.
First pass from Mike Wright is intercepted by Al Walcott. Hogs in business early. Just the start they needed. https://t.co/eubRTXNFYr
Mike Wright and the Mississippi State offense take the field. About that time at Razorback Stadium. https://t.co/gY5IuryRWK
Arkansas wins the toss and defers to the second half. Mike Wright and the Mississippi State offense will get us started. https://t.co/eubRTXNFYr
As expected, no Will Rogers for MSU today, per @ClowESPN. Mike Wright will start vs Arkansas with Chris Parson now the backup. https://t.co/dYj7RcWkUD
