Wow, what a first half from the Auburn Tigers.
Auburn entered Saturday’s game at Arkansas needing just one win in order to secure a bowl bid, and are in prime position to do so after one half of play as they lead, 27-3.
The Tigers ended the first half with 216 yards, compared to Arkansas’ 110 yards. There were plenty of players that contributed to Auburn’s high first-half output.
Starting with quarterback [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag]. Thorne ends the first half with 205 yards and two total scores. He rushed for a 12-yard touchdown to put Auburn on the board early in the game, and connected with Rivaldo Fairweather for another in the 1st quarter.
Defensively, Auburn was led by [autotag]Eugene Asante[/autotag] with six total tackles. The Tigers recorded four total sacks and five tackles for loss. [autotag]Marcus Harris[/autotag] recorded the lone turnover by falling on a fumble with 0:21 to go in the first half.
[autotag]Alex McPherson[/autotag] connected on both of his field goal attempts in the 2nd quarter of 39 and 31 respectively.
It was a half to remember. Here are the plays that defined the first half of Auburn’s 27-3 lead over Arkansas.
