In addition to Franks, Arkansas got help from RB Trelon Smith, who caught six passes for one TD and 78 yards.

RB Tank Bigsby had only a few touches three weeks ago, but he got the ball a lot more this time and made it count. The Tigers' success was spearheaded by the efforts of QB Bo Nix, who passed for one TD and 187 yards on 28 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 30 yards, and Bigsby, who picked up 146 yards on the ground on 20 carries. Auburn also relied on the talents of K Anders Carlson, whose three field goals, the longest a 47-yard boot in the first quarter, proved pivotal in the final score.
