Rebel sacks

Ole Miss is not far behind the Razorbacks in sacks with 28 to rank 25th in the nation and third in the SEC behind Arkansas and Alabama (32).

Like the Razorbacks, a lot of players have gotten in on the sack attack, with 13 defenders registering at least a half sack.

“On the edge they’re very sound rushers,” Arkansas offensive tackle Dalton Wagner said of ends Cedric Johnson (4 sacks) and Tavius Robinson (4). “Between both of them, I think that their strength lies in their ability on the interior to push the pocket back.

“That nose guard in there [6-2, 315-pound JJ Pegues], he’s a big dude. He’s really strong too. And where they create problems is they try to mess with your ‘Mike’ points, and they try to push the pocket back so it shortens the edges for the tackles.”
