FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. u2015 Big plays aplenty. Clutch comeback. And a wild finish that lit up the scoreboard.

Oh, not one wild finish. Not two. Not even three.

"How many overtimes were there?"

The answer to coach Gus Malzahn's question was four. Arkansas beat Auburn 54-46 in an extended game Saturday that featured a clutch Tigers' comeback to tie the game with four seconds left in regulation, two overtime leads for Auburn, and passes into the end zone in the fourth overtime that didn't connect.

"Our kids fought, and I think everybody saw that," Malzahn said.
