Auburn took Arkansas out back behind the woodshed, and whipped them severely. The final score of 56 - 3 tells only part of the story.
The Tigers rushed for 543 yards, passed for 89 more and never turned the ball over. With 10 minutes to go in the game, Auburn had zero negative yardage plays. Zero. Although the Hawgs held the lead in time of possession, Auburn only punted three times the entire game.
Sean White was 7 of 12 for 89 yards. Efficient once again.
That defense. My oh my, that defense!
Arkansas only had 25 yards rushing on 31 attempts. I have never seen a team average less than 1 yard per attempt rushing the ball. That is, until Saturday night in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The average gain per offensive play statistic is astounding in this game. Arkansas 3.4 yards per offensive play. Auburn averaged 9.2. You read that right.
This was a total annihilation of the Arkansas team, that came out pregame and stepped on the AU logo at midfield and disrupted the pregame prayer circle. That was all the motivation this Auburn team needed.
The BBQ roast was on, and the sweet taste was vict'ry.
WAR EAGLE!
