Neither one of these teams is quite where it wants to be right now. But for the loser on Saturday, it’s only going to get worse.
Auburn somehow went into collapse mode in the second half against LSU, turning a three-touchdown lead into a defeat in a game that felt every bit as sudden as Auburn’s comeback victory in the rivalry’s 1994 edition. Arkansas, meanwhile, would just love to have a lead at all. The Razorbacks are 0-3 in the conference, including lopsided losses to South Carolina and Alabama in its past two games. Not ideal for Bret Bielema’s job security.
