Auburn Tigers vs Arkansas Razorbacks Game Preview
The Auburn Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks enter Saturday’s matchup in Fayetteville, Arkansas, desperate to snap extended losing streaks and salvage their SEC seasons. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM ET at Razorback Stadium, where both programs are under pressure to turn their seasons around.
Auburn opened the year 3-0 but has since lost four straight, averaging just 23.6 points per game — fourth-worst in the SEC. Arkansas, meanwhile, started 2-0 before dropping five consecutive games. The Razorbacks’ defense has struggled mightily, allowing 32.7 points and 443.9 yards per contest, the worst in the conference.
This game carries additional intrigue as Arkansas takes the field under interim head coach Bobby Petrino after firing Sam Pittman in late September. For Auburn’s Hugh Freeze, the pressure continues to mount as his Tigers remain winless in conference play.

Matchup Breakdown
Auburn’s offense has sputtered through SEC play, ranking near the bottom in both scoring and yardage. Quarterback Jackson Arnold has thrown for 1,190 yards but has not recorded a touchdown pass since September 20. Head coach Hugh Freeze remains committed to Arnold as the starter but hinted at giving Stanford transfer Ashton Daniels opportunities if needed.
The Tigers’ defense remains respectable, anchored by a strong front seven that could be the difference in slowing Arkansas’ high-tempo attack. Auburn’s biggest challenge continues to be sustaining offensive drives, averaging fewer than 340 total yards per game.
Arkansas, on the other hand, has seen flashes of offensive potential under Taylen Green, who ranks second in the SEC with 17 passing touchdowns and third with 1,910 passing yards. Green’s efficiency will be crucial against Auburn’s disciplined defensive schemes. Running back Raheim Sanders and wideout Andrew Armstrong provide the balance that interim coach Petrino hopes to maintain as the Razorbacks look for their first SEC victory.

Key Storylines
Auburn has lost four straight games, including a heartbreaking 23-17 double-overtime defeat to Missouri last week. Coach Hugh Freeze continues to emphasize consistency, noting his team’s competitiveness but inability to finish late in games.
Arkansas faces a different kind of challenge under new leadership. Bobby Petrino’s offense has produced yards but not wins, with the Razorbacks failing to close out multiple tight contests. Petrino’s focus on first-down efficiency and ball control will be tested against Auburn’s pressure packages.
Both programs find themselves at a crossroads, with bowl eligibility slipping away unless one can reverse its midseason slide.
Injury Report
Auburn Tigers:
Quarterback Jackson Arnold remains the starter despite minor shoulder soreness, while wide receiver Koy Moore (ankle) is questionable. Defensive end Marcus Harris (knee) is expected to return after missing the last game, and linebacker Eugene Asante (undisclosed) is probable.
Arkansas Razorbacks:
Quarterback Taylen Green is fully healthy after a minor rib issue sustained two weeks ago. Linebacker Chris Paul Jr. (hamstring) and defensive back Jayden Johnson (ankle) are both questionable. Offensive tackle Andrew Chamblee (shoulder) is doubtful to play.
Prediction
Both teams enter this game desperate for a turnaround, but Auburn’s defensive edge and experience at key positions may prove decisive. Expect Arkansas to start fast under Petrino, but Auburn’s front seven could wear them down late.
Projected Score: Auburn 27, Arkansas 23
Best Bet: Auburn -2.5 (-110)
