Arkansas and Auburn combine for an embarrassing 3 interceptions in 26 seconds

Arkansas and Auburn haven’t played the best football through the first two quarters of the game, and that sloppiness got particularly bad when the Razorbacks and the Tigers combined for 3 interceptions in just 26 seconds.

The exchange as the second quarter was winding down got started when Auburn quarterback Hank Brown threw a pick to Razorbacks defender Jayden Johnson.

That was followed up by a Taylen Green interception on a tipped pass that went into the hands of Auburn defensive back Sylvester Smith. The back-and-forth affair did not end there, though, on what has been a horrible day for Hank Brown and the Tigers offensively.

Brown tossed yet another interception before halftime, this one going to Arkansas defensive back TJ Metcalf. Here’s a look at those plays:

The quarterbacks on both sides have put together unimpressive days statistically to this point, as Brown has completed 7 of his 13 passing attempts for 72 yards and 3 interceptions. We’ve now seen Payton Thorne come into the game for Auburn, connecting on 2 of his 5 passing attempts for 11 yards.

For Arkansas, Green has completed 9 of 17 passes for 68 yards and 1 interception.

The Razorbacks lead at the half, 7-0.
