First Quarter


The opening quarter saw the Tigers take an early lead with a touchdown, setting the tone for their performance. Jackson Arnold's precision passing was instrumental as he connected for a touchdown pass that put Auburn ahead.


Second Quarter


In contrast, the second quarter belonged to Arkansas as they rallied back with three touchdowns, taking advantage of some gaps in Auburn's defense. However, Alex McPherson's field goal kept Auburn within striking distance.


Third Quarter


Auburn regained momentum in the third quarter by tightening their defense and limiting Arkansas to just one field goal while adding two more field goals themselves. Xavier Atkins stood out defensively with two sacks and multiple tackles that disrupted Arkansas' offensive rhythm.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter was dominated by Auburn as they scored 17 unanswered points. Rayshawn Pleasant's interception return for a touchdown was pivotal in sealing the victory for the War Eagles. Additionally, McPherson continued his perfect streak with another successful field goal attempt.


Auburn’s defense played a crucial role throughout this matchup by forcing turnovers and maintaining pressure on Arkansas’ offense. The post-game report on Auburn Tigers highlighted these defensive efforts as key contributors to their success.
