Arkansas 44 - (17) Auburn 23 : Tigers fans, THAT is exactly why everyone was reluctant to rank you. Gene Chizik came in and was supposed to play tough defense and grind out SEC games. Instead, his D seems like the weak link. Arkansas went bananas on Auburn's sorry defense in the first half going into the locker room with a 27-3 lead. Auburn showed up in the 3rd scoring 20 to make it 33-23, but the damage was done as the Arkansas D shut the Tigers out in the 4th. Little Michael Smith ran for 145 yards and a TD on 18 carries while the youngins cleaned up some extra yardage and short TDs. QB Ryan Mallett was once again rather efficient throwing for 274 yards and 2 TDs and only 1 pick. Auburn did have a bright spot as RB Ben Tate rushed for 184 and 2 TDs. But the passing game was anemic and damn, did I mention their defense sucked?
