Auburn ends two-game skid with 26-23 win over Arkansas

Auburn beat Arkansas 26-23 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, ending a two-game losing streak and improving to 5-4. After a sluggish start, quarterback Byrum Brown threw a fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Keshaun Singleton; coach Alex Golesh praised Brown’s toughness and consistency. Auburn was without linebacker Bryce Deas, safety Sylvester Smith-Reed, offensive lineman Tai Buster and tight end Hunter Herring. Wide receiver Jeremiah Koger and cornerback Andre Jordan Jr. were uncertain, and Deas’s absence further strained a linebacker group also missing Xavier Atkins.
