Auburn football: Game grades for Tigers’ win over Arkansas

Auburn football RB Tank Bigsby: B+

With another performance where Tank Bigsby looked good but not dominant, the preseason Heisman hype the sophomore rusher came in with are fading away with each passing week.

That said, he still is supremely talented and prone for a big play, and collected a few of those in a 68-yard, one-score performance. Bigsby needs more games like this, especially on days where Jarquez Hunter isn’t able to create much on the ground himself.

Auburn football DL: B-

KJ Jefferson and the Razorbacks RBs had little trouble bursting through the holes in the defense and ended up collectively racking up 232 yards on the ground.

At times, the Arkansas OL was bullying around Nick Eason’s DL, but a switch was flipped at halftime, and the Tigers got two sacks from Colby Wooden in the second half.

Marcus Harris from Montgomery, Alabama also recovered a Jefferson fumble in the end zone for a TD to swing the game significantly in the third quarter. Overall, it was an up and down effort that had more positives than negatives.

Auburn football LBs Chandler Wooten and Zakoby McClain: A+

I’m going to go ahead and group these two beasts together after a brilliant and busy game for the Tigers LB duo.

Zakoby McClain, as he does, led the team in tackles with 14. Chandler Wooten had 10, but his came at critical and key times.

The good times are rolling after a massive win to set up a key stretch run in the season’s final five weeks. War Eagle!
