AUBURN, Ala. -- No. 21 Auburn scored on its first offensive play and blasted Arkansas with 543 rushing yards en route to a 56-3 rout of the No. 17 Razorbacks on Saturday.
The 53-point margin of defeat was the worst for Arkansas (5-3, 1-3 SEC) in an SEC game and the team's most lopsided loss since a 70-17 setback at Southern California in 2005.
The Tigers (5-2, 3-1 SEC) came out energized on both sides of the ball after their open date in front of a crowd of 87,451 at Jordan-Hare Stadium and took control in a dominating first quarter.
