Arkansas is a better team than Auburn, simply put.
The Razorbacks showed it Saturday in a relatively easy 41-27 win that wasn’t that close. Arkansas ran for more than 200 yards in the second half alone to pull away after leading by four at halftime. An Auburn touchdown with three seconds left created the final score.
Hogs coach Sam Pittman was pleased after the game. Arkansas was coming off a bye week and needed to rest quarterback KJ Jefferson. Jefferson responnded with an efficient day, going 16 for 24 passing for 234 yards and a touchdown and running for 45 yards and two more scores.
The win was Arkansas’ first at Auburn since 2012 and first against the Tigers, period, since 2016.
Next up? Former girls high school basketball coach in Arkansas Hugh Freeze and his Liberty Flames.
