AUBURN - Auburn’s loss to Arkansas on Saturday came to a simplification of football theory: The Tigers just couldn’t finish their drives.
A 41-27 loss to the Razorbacks at Jordan-Hare Stadium was highlighted by an effort that saw Auburn seemingly incapable of putting points on the board, let alone finding the end zone, while its opponent put on a showcase of moving the ball no matter the odds.
People are also reading… Much like recent losses, it looked like Auburn had its chance, as the Tigers got within four points of the Razorbacks at the end of the first half thanks to an Anders Carlson field goal. The second quarter that preceded those points saw domination from Auburn as well. From there, it was all Arkansas. The Razorbacks closed out the second half like they did most of their drives. They outgained Auburn 276 to 222 after intermission and averaged 8.1 yards per play, up from 6.4 in the first half. They converted 83% of their third-down attempts, up from their 38% success rate in the first. And they outscored their opponent 24-14.
For Auburn, quarterback Robby Ashford had a mistake-free day. It appeared the Oregon transfer may not start pregame, as his backup, freshman Holden Geriner, was announced as Auburn’s QB1 on the Jordan-Hare video board during warmups. However, Ashford was the only quarterback to see the field.
