FAYETTEVILLE — Somebody’s got to win on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
And Mother Nature does not count, although the elements could prevail and have a bearing on the outcome.
Either visiting Auburn or host Arkansas (2-5, 0-3 SEC) will emerge as the winner in the 11:45 a.m. game, with the Razorbacks riding a five-game losing streak and the Tigers (3-4, 0-4 SEC) tripping on a four-game skid.
But it would not be fair to bill this as a matchup of two bungling basement dwellers in the rugged SEC, despite the recent results.
Arkansas, the highest-scoring team in SEC play, has outscored its opponents 260-229 despite being three games below .
