Say this for your Arkansas Razorbacks today. At least they didn’t make us wait long for the hammer to drop down. They let fans know quickly and in no uncertain terms that today was not going to be the day for nice things, and Auburn’s eventual 51-10 victory bore that out.
The Hogs won the toss and elected to receive, hoping to begin the game with momentum. But momentum can only accrue if good plays stack on top of each other. Ben Hicks’s third-down strip-and-fumble, inflicted by Auburn’s Marlon Davidson, gave Auburn prime position just outside of the red zone.
