The SEC has set Auburn’s Week 10 kickoff against Arkansas for 11:45 a.m. CT on Saturday, Nov. 7, with the Tigers and Razorbacks meeting in Jordan-Hare Stadium on SEC Network.
That matchup opens what figures to be a calmer stretch on the calendar for Auburn after the grind of October. The Tigers close out that month on Saturday with a road game at No.
12 Ole Miss, their fourth straight ranked opponent. After Arkansas comes to town, Auburn will play three consecutive unranked teams before the Iron Bowl against Alabama on Nov.
Arkansas comes into the week at 3-4 and still has a game against rival Missouri before heading to Auburn. The Razorbacks have one SEC victory so far, against Vanderbilt, and the trip to Auburn starts a demanding finish to the regular season. After that, Arkansas closes with home games against South Carolina and LSU, plus a road trip to Texas.
This will be the latest chapter in a series that has been played 35 times, including every season since 1992, when Arkansas entered the SEC. Auburn holds the advantage in the matchup, leading 21-13-1.

Lane Kiffin Made A Serious Auburn Accusation After LSU Win
The aftermath of LSUs win at Auburn carried an extra layer of scrutiny after Lane Kiffin said he believed Tigers defenders were trying to use a hip-drop tackle on LSU tight end TreyDez Green. Green, who had just returned from a lower-body injury, was active throughout the game and made his presence felt with five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown, but the contact he absorbed clearly became part of the story once the game was over.
Hip-drop tackles have already been banned by the NFL because of the injury risk involved, which is why Kiffins comment drew immediate attention beyond the usual postgame noise. Greens workload tapered off late, and the concern around his usage added another wrinkle to a physical night in Auburn that LSU was happy to survive, even if the conversation afterward drifted well past the final score.

Lane Kiffin Just Dragged Auburn Into A Bigger Postgame Debate
Lane Kiffin turned a routine postgame conversation into something bigger when he singled out Auburns defenders for using hip-drop tackles against LSU tight end Treyd ez Green. Green was taken out of the game amid concerns about those tackles, a technique still not banned in college football, and Kiffins comments pushed the focus beyond the final score and into the way the game was being played.
The more interesting part for Auburn is how Kiffin framed the late-game choices from his own sideline, too. He said he put starting defenders back in despite the injury risk, pointing to player requests and the kind of mentality he wanted from his team, which only added another layer to the debate over where toughness ends and unnecessary danger begins.

Auburns LSU Collapse Put One Alex Golesh Question Front And Center
Alex Golesh didnt try to soften the blow after Auburns 38-17 loss to LSU, putting the offensive problems squarely on his own shoulders. He said the game plan wasnt effective and pointed to missed tackles on defense as part of a night in which Auburn gave up 552 total yards while finishing with just 271 of its own.
The broader concern now is whether the Tigers can clean up enough in a hurry before a road trip to Ole Miss. Auburn managed only 67 rushing yards against LSU, and Golesh made it clear the fix has to come through better strategy and sharper execution, two things the Tigers will need if they want to avoid another lopsided result.
