Auburn pulled out a close 30-28 victory over Arkansas on Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium to improve to 2-1 on the young season.
While Bo Nix struggled, the star of the game for the Tigers was true freshman running back Tank Bigsby who set an Auburn freshman record with 268 all-purpose yards. The back rushed for 146 yards on 20 carries, caught four passes for 16 yards and returned four kickoffs for 106 yards.
Bigsby might get a chance to finish his freshman season against a Big Ten opponent, per ESPN’s latest bowl projections.
The two ESPN analysts have differing opinions on which bowl and which opponent Auburn will play, though, but both games will be played in the same stadium.
