The 19th-ranked Tigers — and their fast-paced, powerful offense — had been stopped in their tracks.
Michael Smith rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown, and the Razorbacks held off a late Auburn rally to hand the Tigers their first loss of the season, 44-23 Saturday. Arkansas — which gave up 52 points on this field less than a month ago — shut down Auburn for most of the game.
"We weren't going to play soft with these guys," Arkansas defensive coordinator Willy Robinson said.
The Tigers scored three touchdowns during a quick flurry toward the end of the third quarter, but by then the Razorbacks had built a commanding lead.
