Ole Miss Stat of the Week

[Baconomics]

Since Arkansas joined the Rebels in the SEC West in 1992, the Rebels have only beaten Alabama and Arkansas in the same season once.  That was in 2003 when Eli Manning was under center for Ole Miss.  Of course, you might think Alabama spoils most of those seasons - and you'd be right:

vs. Alabama since 1992: 5-21
vs. Arkansas since 1992: 10-15

You can actually go back further than that as the Rebels played the Hogs consistently in the decades prior to that (except the 70s), but they didn't really play Alabama very often during that span.  Ole Miss has never been successful in beating the Tide and Razorbacks in the same season except for the 2003 campaign.

So this is a rare opportunity for the Rebels.  Ironically, in 2003 when they accomplished the Arkansas-Alabama feat, they posted a loss to the Memphis Tigers.  Ole Miss has never beaten Memphis, Alabama, and Arkansas in the same season, and no matter what happens tomorrow, that will not change.
