Auburn improved to 6-1 after leaving Fayetteville a 51-10 win over Arkansas.
Coming off a bye week, Auburn took control of this game, extending Auburn's win streak over Arkansas to four games.
Here are the biggest plays of the game.
Marlon Davidson finished the Arkansas game with three tackles for loss, two sacks, a quarterback hurry and a forced fumble. This gives Davidson 5.5 sacks on the season.
Davidson also won SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week for the third time this year after his performance.
Davidson on this play does a great job of rolling around the left tackle. The athleticism is shown off when Davidson is able to extend his arm while being pushed past the quarterback to get the strip. Then, he has the awareness to know where the ball is and recover it.
Anthony Schwartz finished his game against Arkansas with six catches for 73 yards and two carries for 30 yards. Gus Malzahn said that Schwartz would be more involved with the offense moving forward and it showed in this game.
It all starts with Schwartz's move from boundary receiver to flanker. This position change allows both Schwartz and Seth Williams to be on the field way more often. On this play, Williams draws two defenders as Schwartz is one-on-one on an RPO slant route. This lets Schwartz use his speed to set up a perfect play.
Auburn went into this game without their top running Boobee Whitlow, who is out after having surgery on his left knee. Kam Martin was the first man up and he did not disappoint. On this run shows his burst of speed on a toss to get him in open space immediately.
Martin received great blocks from Williams, Jack Driscoll and Jay Jay Wilson around the end before being brought down around the 10-yard line.
Bo Nix immediately recognized man coverage with leading receiver Williams headed to the boundary. The quarterback delivers one of his more precise passes of the season with a back-shoulder touchdown. Williams flashes the ability to adjust at the last second, too.
Auburn's defense came into this game with one pick on the season and left it with three. Linebacker Chandler Wooten read a fake punt earlier in the game for the first interception, then Javaris Davis read quarterback Ben Hicks across the middle for the second.
