Key Ole Miss Football RB goes down with a first half injury

The No. 19 Ole Miss Rebels opened a 35-14 lead over the Arkansas Razorbacks in the first half of Saturday’s game in Fayetteville, but before the Rebels’ final score in the second quarter, a key player left with an injury.

Inside the Arkansas 10-yard line, with just over 10 seconds to play in the half, Ole Miss running back Henry Parrish Jr. carried the football and was tackled awkwardly near the goal line, appearing to suffer a lower-body injury to walk up. Parrish was helped off the field after the play because he was unable to put much, if any, weight on the affected leg.

By the time of his injury, Parrish had put up 22 rushing yards on 10 carries against Arkansas, and while that’s not a huge number, it was enough to have the team leading in that category at halftime.

The good news for Ole Miss at intermission was its sizable lead. Quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Jordan Watkins scored three touchdowns through the air, and Dart also threw a touchdown pass to Dae’Quan Wright after the Rebels’ first touchdown of the day, which ultimately came on a defensive fumble. zone.

In the rushing department, Ole Miss had just 41 yards at the half, compared to about 300 passing yards.
