Auburn Rallies to Beat Arkansas 33-24

Auburn rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit to defeat Arkansas 33-24, snapping a four-game skid and earning its first SEC win. Jackson Arnold was benched late in the second quarter for Ashton Daniels, who steadied the offense and helped spark multiple third-quarter scoring drives. Rayshawn Pleasant’s 49-yard interception return with 9:15 left proved to be the game-winner, and Auburn kicker Alex McPherson converted six field goals that kept the Tigers in the game. Arkansas led 21-10 at the half after Kani Walker’s 89-yard pick-six, but quarterback Taylen Green threw three interceptions that opened the door for the comeback; the Razorbacks were held to season lows of 331 total yards and 63 rushing. The loss drops Arkansas to 0-4 in SEC play, with interim coach Bobby Petrino faulting the offense while Auburn coach Hugh Freeze praised his players for the rally.
