No. 10 Arkansas used a second-half rally to post a 29-24 victory over Mississippi in a Southeastern Conference matchup Saturday.

The Razorbacks (6-1, 2-1 SEC) were down 17-7 at the half but took the lead with a 19-point third quarter to make it 26-17.

Arkansas scored on its first three possessions of the second half and fumbled at the goal line on its fourth drive, then the defense recorded a safety two plays later.

Tyler Wilson threw for 235 yards and ran for a pair of scored for the Razorbacks.

Ole Miss pulled within 29-24 on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Randall Mackey to Donte Moncrief with 1:23 left. The Rebels recovered the onside kick, but Mackey was sacked and then an interception to seal his team's fate.

The Rebels (2-5, 0-4) scored more points in the first half then they had in an SEC game this season.

Mackey completed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Moncrief 10 seconds into the second quarter, and rushed for a 3-yard score with 6:42 to go as the Rebels jumped out to a 17-0 lead.
