Razorbacks Narrowly Outscored at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Intense Football Game Against Tigers
The Arkansas Razorbacks, with a 3-7 record, faced off against the Auburn Tigers, holding a 6-4 record, in an intense game that ended with a close score of 28-30. The Razorbacks' efforts were not enough to secure victory at the Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Arkansas Razorbacks showcased an impressive offensive performance. The team's quarterback threw for four touchdowns and completed 22 out of 30 pass attempts, accumulating a total of 318 passing yards and achieving a passer rating of over two hundred. Remarkably efficient in the red zone, the Razorbacks converted all four opportunities into scores.
On the ground, the rushing attack added another dimension to their offense with one hundred nineteen yards on forty-two carries. Although they did not reach the end zone via rush, they managed six first downs and eight red zone attempts.
Special teams contributed as well; their kicker was perfect on the day with one field goal made from twenty-three yards out and successfully converting all extra point kicks. Punters had five attempts totaling two hundred twelve yards but did not have any punts blocked or returned for touchdowns.
Defensively, Arkansas recorded three sacks for sixteen lost yards against Auburn's offense but could not manage any interceptions or forced fumbles throughout the game. Penalties were kept relatively low by both teams; however, Arkansas committed six penalties resulting in twenty-six penalty yards.
Despite these efforts by Arkansas players across all fronts – offense, defense and special teams – it was ultimately insufficient to overcome The Tigers' lead which was established early in the game when they scored ten points in the first quarter while holding The Razorbacks scoreless.
