Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks is considered a first-round NFL draft choice when he chooses to leave for a reason.
That reason was on display against Auburn.
Burks caught a 30-yard ball over the middle from quarterback KJ Jefferson on the first drive of the second half to give the No. 19 Razorbacks a 17-14 lead over the Tigers.

It was the second straight series the two hooked up. Jefferson hit Burks on a double-jump pass on the final Hogs offensive series of the first half to turn a 14-3 Auburn lead to 14-10.
The Hogs stopped Auburn on the Tigers’ ensuing drive after Burks’ second score and Arkansas began to march again, beginning to put any thoughts of an upset from the front to the back of Auburn’s mind.
