TEMPERS flare on both sides in Saturday’s game.

Tempers flared on both sides of the ball at multiple points during Ole Miss’ 37-33 come-from-behind victory over the University of Arkansas on Saturday.

Referee Marc Curles and his crew assessed four unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the aftermath of Arkansas quarterback Ty Storey becoming the victim of a vicious targeting ejection called against Vernon Dasher.

In the scrum that followed early in the second quarter, tackle Colton Jackson and tight end Grayson Gunter drew offsetting unsportsmanlike fouls with Ole Miss defenders Jalen Julius and Austrian Robinson.

Curles threw an unsportsmanlike conduct flag on Arkansas tight end Austin Cantrell, who gave a mild shove to Ole Miss defensive end Qaadir Sheppard after a play. Sheppard fell dramatically and rolled backward head over heels to elicit the penalty, then flopped over again.

Sheppard had drawn his own unsportsmanlike penalty on a hit against Storey later in the second quarter.

Arkansas Coach Chad Morris was asked if it looked like Ole Miss was intentionally trying to rough Storey up.

“I don’t know,” Morris said. “I can’t go to that without watching the film. I thought Ty was playing extremely well and showed his toughness and his grit.

“I thought Ty Storey was the toughest football player in the stadium without a doubt.”

Arkansas cornerback Ryan Pulley was ejected in the final 20 seconds, apparently for something he said as the Rebels were kneeling to close out the game.

“Obviously we lost our composure, which is very disappointing,” Morris said.

“We’ve got to keep a level head on the field,” linebacker De’Jon Harris said. “I feel like we could have done a better job tonight calming everybody down. Pulley being an older guy, you’ve got to realize the situation you’re in and not do that.”

Ole Miss players celebrated after a couple of the hardest hits on Storey, who was eventually knocked out of the game after a hard fall early in the fourth quarter.

A personal foul penalty also was leveled against Arkansas’ Terrell Collins for continuing to block an Ole Miss player out of bounds after De’Vion Warren returned the final kickoff 33 yards to the Arkansas 43.
