Lightning delayed No. 21 Arkansas' game against Mississippi for a second time during the second half on Saturday.

The Razorbacks were leading 31-24 when officials interrupted the game with 9:04 remaining in the fourth quarter. It was the second lightning delay in the contest, lasting 31 minutes, and it came after a 58-minute delay midway through the third quarter.

Heavy showers accompanied the first delay, while only light rain fell after the second.

Arkansas led 24-10 entering the first delay, but Ole Miss twice pulled within a touchdown behind a pair of scoring passes from Jeremiah Masoli to Markeith Summers.
