FAYETTEVILLE — Auburn put 3 points on the board with seconds to go in the game Saturday to hand Arkansas a stinging 9-7 loss at Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville.
Auburn's only points came from fields goals, while sophomore Lucas MIller caught a pass in the 4th quarter for Arkansas' lone touchdown.
The Razorbacks are still without a victory in SEC play this season.
It was the second game-winning field goal for Wes Bynum in three weeks. Bynum,, a freshman, kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired two weekends ago for a 20-17 victory over Florida. This kick was much easier, but no less crucial. The Tigers (5-2, 3-1) are now tied for first in the SEC West with Alabama and LSU. Auburn is at LSU next week.
The Tigers held Darren McFadden to 43 yards rushing, the first time all season he’s been under 100.
Arkansas (3-3, 0-3) took a 7-6 lead with 1:36 remaining on Casey Dick’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Miller, but the celebration was brief for the home crowd. The ensuing kickoff went out of bounds, and after the Razorbacks kicked again, Brad Lester returned the ball to the Auburn 47.
The Tigers moved into field goal range on a 30-yard catch-and-run by Robert Dunn to the Arkansas 12.
