Actually the whole game was kind of a let down, but for the first time this season the razorback defense looked good. Thanks to some dropped passes in the 1st quarter, Tuberville was glad to let his tailbacks work the ground game with his 3-0 lead. While on the other side of the ball the name of the game was 3 and out. The razorback offensive line could not move the Tigers away from the line of scrimmage and let 2 sometimes 3 defenders into the back field to wrap up McFadden for loss or no gain. The play calling seems somewhat at fault as the razorbacks continuously went for the same zone pulls and rarely varied the running game.
It was good solid defensive football for 3 quarters, but when push came to shove, Casey Dick put together a scoring drive with Lucas Miller falling into the endzone to put the hogs up 7-6 on an Alex Tejada Field Goal. Then special teams came back to bite the hogs in the ass when Brian Vavra gave the Tigers excellent field position to start their drive down to the 3 yard line and a Field Goal.
The hogs are lacking in identity and need to post a win this week over Ole Miss to hope for a bowl game and Houston Nutt better hope for the same or all of those job leads he's been searching out might come in handy when Jeff Long shows him the door.
Darren McFadden: The Heisman Candidacy might be over. Even the best offensive player in college football couldn't help his team against the stingy Auburn Defense. Breaking to school record in a game where you only have 43 yards is awful. Was that the Elephant in the stadium that kept you so shutdown? Were you afraid of Ben Cowins? Darren. You're gonna get drafted by an NFL team that is going to have an offensive line on par with what the razorbacks did this weekend. If you're going to start veering away from collisions, you might wanna wait until you're in the NFL and you have your money!
