Auburn football vs. Arkansas: Our final score predictions are in. (Montgomery Advertiser)

Auburn is looking to bounce back from a three-game losing streak the bottom of the SEC West with a win over the Razorbacks, who are also 1-3 in conference play.

Arkansas 34, Auburn 24: The Tigers are coming off an open week, which reminded me how easily they’re forgotten. Jefferson, a dual threat, and star running back Rocket Sanders should enjoy playing against an Auburn defense that has been consistently shredded on the ground. Arkansas has had its own set of problems so the difference here is Jordan-Hare Stadium. Arkansas 35, Auburn 28 — Arkansas will rely on its strong running game to get out ahead of Auburn. A win over Arkansas will put Auburn in a good position before heading into matchups against Mississippi State, Texas A&M, Western Kentucky and Alabama to conclude the season. The Tigers are coming off a bye week after losing to Ole Miss 48-34 in Week 7.

Arkansas football ruthlessly trolls Auburn Tigers' fans after huge win (ClutchPoints)

Arkansas football rolled into Auburn and defeated the Tigers by a score of 41-27. Now they have to deal with this trolling on top of it? Basically, the Arkansas Razorbacks football account is saying that the Auburn stadium is so empty that a Spirit Halloween store is going to see the vacancy and move in.

Auburn football: MWN doesn't think likely new AD John Cohen will ... (Fly War Eagle)

Likely new Auburn University AD Mike Cohen won't bring Mike Leach with him to the Plains to hire as Auburn football head coach says Maroon and White Nation.

By the end of the game, a deal was being finalized, per [AL.com](https://www.al.com/auburnfootball/2022/10/auburn-targeting-mississippi-state-ad-john-cohen-as-next-ad.html). He has denied interest in a Power Five jump given how swimmingly things are going in Lynchburg. As Maroon and White Nation said in the second half of their post addressing Mike Leach becoming the next Auburn football head coach, Hugh Freeze would be a shoe-in for the job if offered given his success with Liberty the past 3 seasons.

Joseph Goodman: For Auburn, the horror of rock bottom is here (al.com)

Published: Oct. 29, 2022, 4:43 p.m.. FTBL: FOOTBALL. Auburn punter Oscar Chapman kicks it away against Arkansas. The Tigers lost to ...

During the game, there were reports that Auburn was finally making progress in its search for a new director of athletics. Thankfully, there are signs that the struggle of this exercise in self-harm are coming to an end. The upper decks were thin at the beginning, and then empty by the end of the third quarter. A zombie walks the sidelines of Jordan-Hare Stadium where the ghosts of greatness linger in sadness, and the zombie’s name is Bryan Harsin. Arkansas 41, Auburn 27 was like witnessing the slow torture of friend. At Auburn, a headless team without life drags itself aimlessly towards nothingness and worse, the bottom of the SEC West standings. That is the only ray of sunshine anyone at Auburn has left to offer its fans after what was witnessed on Saturday — that and maybe the future of the quarterback position. The Tigers are 3-13 since the loss last season to Texas A&M. For now, though, there are only the final days of a terrible mistake. Robby Ashford had a decent game, throwing for 285 yards and a touchdown in addition to his excellent rushing, but yet his team still had no chance. In back to back games, Auburn lost to both. What did we learn about Auburn on Saturday that we didn’t already know?

How Arkansas football bucked its own third-quarter trend to crush ... (Times Record)

AUBURN, Ala. — Arkansas football has been emphasizing its desire to "start fast." Coach Sam Pittman restructured practices ahead of Week 7 in an effort to ...

The Razorbacks are in the third quarter of their season, too, and are having a similar resurgence. We knew that we had to come out and really put our foot down and reestablish that we're in control of the game." To come in here (and win), it means everything." Arkansas went three-and-out and had a bad punt of its own, giving Auburn the ball with 50 seconds left at its own 41. The Razorbacks now face a tough Liberty squad in Week 10, followed by back-to-back games against No. The Tigers put together a seven-play, 52-yard drive and kicked a field goal to cut into Arkansas' lead just before the half. Coach [Sam Pittman](https://www.swtimes.com/videos/sports/college/2022/10/29/arkansas-football-sam-pittman-auburn-press-conference-video/10640018002/) restructured practices ahead of Week 7 in an effort to help the Razorbacks get off the ground quicker. But the Razorbacks (5-3, 2-3 SEC) used a dominant third quarter to get their first win over the Tigers (3-5, 1-4) since 2015. Entering Saturday's game, Arkansas had averaged about 130 yards of offense in the third quarter as opposed to almost 119 in all other quarters. Defensive lineman Isaiah Nichols blocked a field goal attempt on Auburn's opening drive of the second half. "We challenged (the team) at halftime, 'That's what has to happen.' Fortunately, it happened." Changing that was a key part of beating the Tigers.

He feels it's his duty, along with other upperclassmen, to connect that era of Auburn football to the team's younger players; teach them what winning football looks like. In Harsin's words, "losing is contagious." "We just got to get better. Auburn's offensive performance against the Rebels was [particularly encouraging](https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/sports/college/auburn/2022/10/15/auburn-football-ole-miss-comeback-resiliency-fight-bryan-harsin-last-stand/69545467007/).

"This is a game we knew we could have won," Shenker said. ... I don't think we played as fast as we should have. I think that's become a problem within the team to some extent. That comes with winning."

Five takeaways from Auburn's loss to Arkansas (Auburn Wire)

It was a familiar game for Auburn with a few pleasant surprises, here are five takeaways.

Yes, Bigsby can be counted on making at least one long run a gain but averaging 2.2 yards on the rest of his carries is not good. Auburn claims they want to be a run-first team but has struggled to run it effectively all season. 1 receiver in the SEC and he needs to get more playing time. Ashford has shown his impressive running ability but looked like an efficient passer today for the first time, completing 24 of 33 passes for 285 yards and one touchdown. The Tigers have now allowed 1,026 yards and 13 touchdowns in the past three games. Auburn’s defense was once again unable to stop the run.
