Ryan Mallett threw for 313 yards and five touchdowns to lead Arkansas over Mississippi State 42-21 on Saturday. Mallett's final touchdown pass was his 28th of the season, a school record. Clint Stoerner held the old mark of 26. Anthony Dixon rushed for 176 yards for Mississippi State, which was eliminated from bowl contention. The Bulldogs (4-7, 2-5 Southeastern Conference) ran all over the Razorbacks (7-4, 3-4) in the third quarter, cutting the Arkansas lead to 28-21 after Dixon's 70-yard scoring run. Mississippi State had the ball near midfield toward the end of the period, but Dixon fumbled and Elton Ford recovered for the Razorbacks. Mallett threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Greg Childs to make it 35-21 early in the fourth. Highlights and post game reaction will soon be available in the Hog Zone. Join Wess Moore and the THV sports crew for Hog Zone Super Saturday. Their complete wrap up of the win follows the LSU/Ole Miss game at six p.m. on Today's THV.
