Today, Auburn faces off against another struggling SEC team in the Arkansas Razorbacks. Here's what our sports team has to say about the matchup.
Jackie Dominguez, Sports Editor: 28-24 Auburn
If Hugh Freeze doesn't win this game, the questions surrounding his job security are only going to get louder. In recent interviews, many of the players have expressed that they want to keep Freeze around and have faith in his ability to coach. The players understand the gravity of this game and are going to come out to play to protect their coach's job. If the offense can get out there and play on the same level as the defense does every week, Auburn has a chance to finally bring home its first SEC win.
Rory Garvin, Sports Reporter: 27-20 Arkansas
Until Hugh Freeze and Auburn's offense prove they can come up big late, I can't pick them to get back on track.
Jonathan Wallin, Sports Writer: 30-20 Auburn
Auburn has yet to score more than 17 points on offense in its first four SEC games. I see that changing this weekend against an Arkansas defense allowing opponents to score 32.7 points per game. If there were ever a game for Hugh Freeze and the Tigers to switch up the offensive playbook and try out multiple quarterbacks, this would be it.
Gunner Norene, Sports Writer: 31-23 Arkansas
"This is going to be a weird, rainy game in Fayetteville, but I just don't have any legitimate reason to pick Auburn. If the Tigers somehow fix their offense against a lackluster Arkansas defense, they could pull it out. However, I think a shootout, which could very well happen with Taylen Green under center for the Razorbacks, would be the worst possible scenario for Auburn."
