Byrum Brown Drives Auburn Past Arkansas, 26-23

Brown’s roughly 300 yards of total offense lifted Auburn to 5-4 (3-4 SEC) while the game exposed injuries on the Tigers’ defensive front.

Overview

  • Auburn beat Arkansas 26-23 on Saturday, Nov. 7 at Jordan-Hare Stadium after a pair of late scoring drives decided the game.
  • Quarterback Byrum Brown threw for about 180 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for roughly 120 yards to account for nearly 300 yards of total offense.
  • Arkansas produced a season-best ground game with 184 rushing yards, but a fourth-quarter touchdown and a late Auburn response left the Razorbacks at 3-6 (1-5 SEC).
  • Auburn suffered multiple injuries to its front seven during the game, and freshman linebacker Shadarius Toodle filled the void with multiple sacks and several tackles for loss.
  • The win moves Auburn closer to the six wins generally needed for bowl eligibility and sends the Tigers to Mississippi State next week while Arkansas hosts South Carolina.
