Arkansas trolls Auburn after Razorback win with Spirit Halloween reference
All is fair in love and SEC football.
Not long after Arkansas defeated Auburn 41-27 on Saturday, the Razorbacks sent a parting shot, via Twitter, to the Tigers.
KJ Jefferson ran for two touchdowns and passed for a third and Raheim Sanders rushed for 171 yards to lead Arkansas to a win over Auburn in a battle to escape the bottom of the SEC Western Division.
The Razorbacks snapped a six-game losing streak versus the Tigers, who have dropped four games in a row. The two teams came into the day tied with Texas A&M for last in the SEC West. But Auburn couldn’t stop Jefferson and Sanders or challenge on offense for most of the second half.
It’s been a busy day on The Plains.
Auburn has zeroed in on Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen and is working to finalize a deal to make him the school’s 16th all-time AD, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to AL.com.
The news comes just hours after Jackson State coach Deion Sanders was asked how he would handle programs coming after him as their head coach. There has been speculation that both Auburn and Georgia Tech would perhaps target the former Florida State star.
