AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn's defense was in disarray heading into the locker room at halftime Saturday.

Arkansas' talented trio of running backs averaged 7.2 yards per carry in the first half. Quarterback Brandon Allen was hitting wide-open targets on play-action passes.

Worst of all, the defensive struggles bled over into the offense, which lost momentum after scoring three straight touchdowns to open the game.

But, following a go-ahead touchdown by returning quarterback Nick Marshall to start the second half, Auburn's defense clamped down on the Razorbacks' power-running offense.
