First Quarter


The game began with the Tigers taking an early lead, scoring 7 points while keeping the Hogs scoreless. The Razorbacks struggled to find their rhythm offensively during this period.


Second Quarter


Arkansas made a strong comeback in the second quarter, scoring 21 points and momentarily taking control of the game. Taylen Green's passing prowess was on display as he completed several key passes, including one that resulted in a touchdown.


Third Quarter


In contrast to their earlier performance, Arkansas managed only 3 points in this quarter while allowing Auburn to score another 6 points. Quincy Rhodes Jr.'s defensive efforts were notable as he recorded two sacks and contributed significantly to limiting Auburn's offensive plays.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw Auburn dominate by adding another 17 points without any response from Arkansas. Kani Walker's interception return for an impressive 89-yard touchdown was one of few highlights for Arkansas during this period but wasn't enough to turn things around.


Despite some individual brilliance from players like Taylen Green and Kani Walker, what went wrong for Arkansas Razorbacks was their inability to maintain momentum throughout all quarters of play against a resilient Auburn defense.
