Payback time? Arkansas drops intense hype video for highly anticipated rematch vs. Auburn

Arkansas fans likely haven’t forgotten what happened the last time the Razorbacks played Auburn.
On Oct. 10, 2020, the Tigers beat the Hogs, 30-28, in a game that had a controversial finish. In the final minute, Auburn quarterback Bo Nix needed to spike the ball and appeared to do so backward after fumbling the snap. However, his spike — which also seemed to be a fumble — was ruled intentional grounding.
That kept the ball in the Tigers’ possession, and they went on to win on Anders Carlson’s 39-yard field goal with 7 seconds remaining.
This year, the Razorbacks are looking for revenge. Arkansas is hosting Auburn on Saturday afternoon, and it should be an exciting matchup. On Friday, the Hogs dropped a hype video for the contest, one that also served as a reminder of what happened last year:

Arkansas has lost 5 straight meetings with Auburn, a streak that dates back to 2016. The Razorbacks’ last win over the Tigers came in Fayetteville in 2015.
This year could be different, though, considering Arkansas is off to a 4-2 start and is ranked No. 17 in the country. However, Auburn is still likely to be a challenging opponent.
The Razorbacks and Tigers are set to kick off on Saturday at noon ET on CBS.
