Arkansas, on the other hand, made their sixth straight bowl appearance, but had lost the last three.
This was the Hogs second bowl victory under head coach Houston Nutt.
But Arkansas answered with two field goals, one in the third and one in the fourth, to seal the victory for the Razorbacks.
The Hogs outdueled the Tigers in every facet of the game, to include a blocked punt against Missouri in the second half.
Arkansas running back Cedric Cobbs was named the game's Offensive MVP, rushing for 141 yards and a touchdown.
