The Arkansas–Mississippi State football rivalry is a college football rivalry game between the Razorbacks of the University of Arkansas and the Bulldogs of Mississippi State University.

History

The Razorbacks and the Bulldogs faced off on the football field for the first time on November 30, 1916 in Memphis, Tennessee. Mississippi State won the game by a score of 20–7. After a 19–0 Mississippi State victory in 1939 in Memphis, the squads didn't meet again until Arkansas joined the Southeastern Conference in 1992. That year, to accompany the arrival of Arkansas and South Carolina, the SEC formed two divisions. Both the Razorbacks and the Bulldogs were placed in the West division, ensuring they will meet every year on the football field. The only tie between the teams occurred in 1993, with both teams locked at 13. The teams went to overtime in 1996 and 2000, with Arkansas winning both games. The biggest margin of victory in the series occurred in 2003, with Arkansas dominating Mississippi State by a margin of 52–6. Overtime games again occurred in 2010 and 2013, with the Hogs winning in 2010 by a margin of 38-31 and the Bulldogs coming out on top in 2013 by a score of 24–17. The highest scoring game in the rivalry occurred in 2015, with State prevailing 51–50 in a contest that saw the teams combine for 101 points. The next year, the two teams combined for 100 points in a 58–42 Arkansas victory.
