Just a reminder for people. Auburn's weakness is their pass defense and USC has no pass offense to speak of. Arkansas on the other hand does.

Alshon Jeffrey is pretty good . Only problem is Garcia throws 3 INTs a game

Yeah. Jeffrey is a beast but Garcia is terrible. It was in the Auburn-Arkansas game last year that Mallett was hurt and Tyler Wilson came in and played great until late in the game. That was a better Auburn D he faced last year then he will this year for sure.

Taking Auburn as well

I don't understand why you'd back Auburn here. The win over SC was not indicative of Auburn's strength, but rather the breakdown of Garcia and the poor play calling and clock management of Spurrier. Tyler Wilson is going to cut the Auburn secondary to pieces.

I agree with this. Been waiting for someone to give some reasoning on why Auburn can keep up.

I backed Auburn last week, but that relied on an awful lot of Gamecock weaknesses. Arkansas is not even in the same realm as South Carolina. Judging this game from last weeks performance is right out for this match-up.

Auburn was able to stop Lattimore last week because Garcia is weak against pressure and he takes a lot of time to make bad decisions. Wilson is much more poised, much less prone to interceptions and the Razorbacks can run the ball in the red zone.

I won't be doing a write up about this game because it will be receiving enough attention this week from everyone else. I'm not saying +10 is stupid by any means, but I would warn against using last week's anomaly as your basis. Auburn's D gets better every week, but Arkansas is a completely different animal here.
