FAYETTEVILLE -- Another dismal second half doomed the Arkansas Razorbacks in their attempt to shake a growing skid against top competition.
No. 21 Auburn bounced back from last week's collapse at LSU and pounded Arkansas with its up-tempo offense and a high-pressure defense in a 52-20 rout before an announced crowd of 71,961 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
The University of Arkansas, Fayetteville (2-5, 0-4 SEC) lost its seventh consecutive game against a Power 5 opponent dating to November after a lackluster second half in which Auburn held a 35-14 advantage.
Auburn (6-2, 4-1 SEC) scored on its first three possessions of the second half, including Ryan Davis' 62-yard reverse pass to Darius Slayton, to turn its 17-6 halftime lead into a runaway and send much of the crowd to the exits.
