FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. u2015 Auburn played comeback football late in first half this Saturday, mounting its longest touchdown drive of the season to close the gap on Arkansas in Razorback Stadium.

Peyton Barber scored on a 1-yard run with 30 seconds left in the half to cut Arkansas' lead to 14-7. The Tigers woke up for that 96-yard, 12-play drive after a sleepy start.

The touchdown drive started after a Kris Frost interception.

Arkansas controlled the clock before then, and still enjoyed a 5½ minute advantage. But it was far more lopsided than that before the touchdown drive.
