Arkansas Defeats Auburn 24-14 in SEC Opener

Auburn Tigers fell to Arkansas Razorbacks 24-14 in their SEC opener, marred by turnovers and offensive struggles. Redshirt freshman quarterback Hank Brown threw three interceptions in the first half, leading to his benching for Payton Thorne, who threw two touchdown passes but couldn't secure a win. Arkansas capitalized on Auburn's five turnovers, with TJ Metcalf recording two interceptions and a forced fumble. Taylen Green's dual-threat capability was pivotal, contributing 151 passing yards, a touchdown, and 80 rushing yards. Despite outgaining Arkansas by almost 100 yards, Auburn's defensive errors and inability to contain Green were costly. Arkansas improved to 3-1 and will face Texas A&M next, while Auburn's quarterback situation remains uncertain.
