Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson ended the game on fire last week, and he hasn't cooled down Saturday against Auburn.
After throwing for a school-record 510 yards last week in the comeback win over Texas A&M, Wilson is 20-of-25 for 228 yards and a touchdown in the first half against Auburn. The Hogs trailed 14-7 entering the second quarter, but scored a couple of unanswered touchdowns to take the lead at the half.
Wilson is obviously throwing the ball with a lot of confidence right now. And as hot as Wilson is, senior receiver Jarius Wright is just as hot. He has another touchdown catch in this game and has six on the season.
Like they did last week in their 16-13 win at South Carolina, the Tigers have kept it primarily on the ground and only attempted 14 passes in the first half. Most of those came at the end of the half.
This one is probably going to come down to who can make the key defensive stops in the second half. The two teams combined for 505 yards of total offense in the first half.
And if it's close, keep in mind that Auburn has never lost under Gene Chizik in a game decided by four points or less.
