Now, the Razorbacks (3-5, 1-4 SEC) are hoping to rediscover their footing in a stadium that provides recent memories of success. Arkansas hits the road to face Auburn (4-4, 2-4) on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Here are three things to watch, the latest odds and a score prediction for Razorbacks vs. Tigers. Keys to the Game Can the Hogs hold Jeremiah Cobb under 50 yards rushing?
