Top five matchups to watch for Auburn vs Arkansas
Coming off of a bye week, the Tigers felt pretty good about things just a few days ago. Fanbase morale has been low for a while now, but things seemed a little better with a week to pause, heal, and prepare.
Now, things seem all out of sorts on social media because of a few transfer portal losses for the Tigers. Two receivers (Landen King and Tar'Varish Dawson) and defensive back AD Diamond are now gone, leaving a relatively thin roster just a little more thin. On top of this, reports came out that Bryan Harsin is not allowing his players to take a medical redshirt - telling players to either lose their eligibility for the season or quit the team.
It's been a wild 48 hours, and nobody seems to realize it's Arkansas hate week - at least, those who spend their time on Twitter melting down.
Considering Auburn is not yet out of bowl contention and this weekend gives them a legitimate opportunity to climb back to .500 and get closer to that coveted six win mark - lets take a look at some of the key matchups for the Tigers' game vs Arkansas.
KJ Jefferson vs Auburn's linebackers
Robby Ashford/Ja'Varrius Johnson vs Arkansas' secondary
Arkansas' front seven vs Auburn's offensive line
Eric Kiesau vs Barry Odom
