A win is necessary for Arkansas on Saturday while Auburn doesn’t require one, though the Tigers could certainly use an injection of fervor.
The two rivals are set to kick from Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium at 3 p.m. The Hogs must win all three of their final games – against Auburn, Florida International and Missouri – to reach .500 and gain bowl eligibility. Auburn needs just one win to reach the same.
The Tigers have been the better team over the last 10 years, though that’s hardly a surprise considering the difficulties of the Chad Morris era and the final year of Bret Bielema’s regime.
Current Arkansas coach Sam Pittman lost to Auburn in his first two years – the first loss to the Tigers was controversial – but the Razorbacks won last year’s meeting shortly after Auburn and coach Bryan Harsin parted ways by 14 points.
As for 2023, three of our RazorbacksWire staffers are going with the Hogs. Check out details for our predictions below.
