Arkansas has collectively shown the ability to have an incredible offense in both passing and running the ball...While at the same time, pissing in a fan and crapping their pants.

Arkansas has a defense that thus far hasn't placed any pressure on the opposing Qback, and plenty of pressure on their own by screwing it up.

Arkansas has a kicker who can kick a long one, and miss a shorter one.

Arkansas has a head coach that said, "I didn't know what to do>'



Can you beat this?

Depends if we are healthy. We get Cam and a few of our D guys back, I like our chances. If we are rolling the same crew out that we had vs NM, then I am worried.

Honestly? Who knows. Seems like both teams have been Jekyll and Hyde the past two games. Pigs came out kicking arse at Oklahoma State, yet took some time to get going against UAB. Auburn's defense has looked lost before making halftime adjustments the past two weeks. Obviously, the QB switch is pretty much unknown since he looked great against weak competition, but we all know Thorne was not the guy.

So, I expect mayhem.

From an outsider looking in, this could be a very good or a very bad game. Someone is going to step up and I honestly don't know which team that would be right now. It's one of the few games I am actually looking forward to this weekend. We will learn a lot about both.

Many Auburn fans think highly of Bobby P's ability to call offense and think little of our DC..

Auburn’s back end on defense is so bad that the game should be a fun one to watch.

I think Arkansas maintains a comfy 10 point cushion for most of the game and wins.

I have no idea what to expect, but I feel like one team will lose in hilarious fashion.

Hank Brown at QB signifies a full-on shift to the youth movement from Freeze, and I think it’s probably the best given that all our upperclassmen are mid-level talent or G5-level transfers. We’re gonna take some lumps because we have something like 14 freshmen in the 2-deep.

I think we've got enough athletes and we could win, and I also think we could fall apart and the Hogs could blow us out.

Your D has been taking it on the chin in the first halves. Everyone is staring at the QB situation and I get it, but your DC needs to put on a better show.

DC's problem is dropping pass rushers into coverage. I won't blame the secondary on him. Not a whole lot of talent or experience to work with back there.

I'm not trying to be overly critical of the guy. Your second-half adjustments are much better and he's still working with the same players. He needs to get those kids playing 4 quarters in the SEC schedule.

I think there’s plenty of talent, it’s just raw and young. We lost almost everyone from last year. I expect them to improve greatly by the middle of the season. What will keep them from being better in pass coverage moving forward is the fact that, with the exception of Keldrick Faulk, we have no pass rush to speak of.

This used to be a close series, Auburn has won 7 of the last 8....

2023 (Terrible Auburn Team 48 - Arkie 10) @ Arkansas.
2022 - Arkie did win on the road, but then we ran Potato Harsin out of town, but even Hars won in 2021....
2016-2021 (Six Straight Auburn Wins).
