A week after offense and points aplenty against Ole Miss, the Arkansas Razorbacks were soundly throttled by the Auburn Tigers.

Arkansas had no answer for Auburn. On offense or defense, the biggest takeaway from this game in fact, is the that the Auburn defense is not to be messed with. Arkansas can thrive on a team with no defense, but they obviously struggle when pitted against teams with much stronger defenses like Auburn and Alabama. At this point, Arkansas is out of SEC West contention, but can still play for better bowl positioning. After looking like one of the better teams in the SEC, (they were third in our rankings) Arkansas did a complete turnaround and looked like a very lost team.

Next game: November 5, 2016, vs Florida, Time and channel TBD
