The Arkansas football team faces a familiar foe in Auburn during Week 7 of college football. KJ Jefferson and the Razorbacks will try to find a way to take down Bo Nix and a very good Tigers team.

This season, Arkansas has dropped games to then-ranked No. 2 Georgia and then-ranked No. 17 Ole Miss. On the other hand, Auburn has lost to then-ranked No. 10 Penn State and then-ranked No. 2 ranked Georgia.

The Razorbacks and Tigers met for the very first time in the Liberty Bowl game back in 1984 in Memphis. The Tigers won the inaugural meeting.

What is the all-time series record for Arkansas football vs Auburn?

These teams have played each other 30 times over the years, with Auburn in control of the all-time series record 18-11-1, according to Winsipedia.

The Tigers have won five straight meetings against the Hogs, which is the most consecutive wins in the history of this series. Arkansas has only ever beat Auburn twice in a row.

The Hogs kept it close last season, losing to Auburn 28-30, who were ranked No. 13 at that point in the season last year.

We’ll see some players in the game this year who made a big impact in last year’s game. For the Razorbacks, that’ll be running back Trelon Smith. In the game against Auburn last year, Smith was doing a little bit of everything. He carried the ball 21 times for 81 yards and caught 6 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown.

For the Tigers, Tank Bigsby will look to match his outstanding performance against Arkansas. In last year’s game he carried the ball 20 times for 146 yards. The Hogs will need to make it a priority to slow him down as much as possible if they want a chance to beat Auburn.

On the defensive side of things, Jalen Catalon and Hudson Henry combined for 21 total tackles for Arkansas. For Auburn, Zakoby McClain recorded 13 total tackles against Arkansas last year.
