This is the start of the four-game SEC gauntlet to kick off conference play. The Auburn Tigers will be hosting Arkansas in a game that could get ugly really quickly.

The Tigers have one of the best returning defenses in college football, so say goodbye to the weekly 30-plus point output Arkansas had to this point. Auburn is going to shut the Arkansas offense down though the Razorbacks will strike first, taking a 7-0 lead and shocking just about everyone in attendance.

After that, it’s going to be all Auburn. 

Jarrett Stidham is one of the best quarterbacks college football has to offer. The Baylor transfer also returns a plethora of weapons at receiver and he’s going to take full advantage, passing for over 400 yards and three touchdowns. 

On the ground, Kan Martin is going to make fans forget about Kerryon Johnson as he accounts for another 100-plus rushing yards and a score. This game will be over by halftime as the second half will be a formality.

Final Score: Arkansas 10, Auburn 42 (3-1, 0-1 SEC)
