This game feels like a pivotal moment for Sam Pittman and the Hogs. After balling out in the first half of Oklahoma State, the Hogs played about three quarters of terrible football, carrying over into the following week against UAB. Thankfully, they outscored the Blazers 34-17 in the final three quarters.
Now, the Hogs open up conference play in the Plains. Auburn has struggled, too, losing to California and making a quarterback change from Payton Thorne to redshirt freshman Hank Brown.
Can Arkansas build momentum by taking advantage of the Tigers' situation, or will the Hogs add more tinder to the fire under Pittman's hot seat? Here's how you can watch the game unfold:
