Auburn 45, Arkansas 21 (The SportsXchange)

Arkansas' recent run of good luck against No. 6 Auburn at Jordan-Hare Stadium ran out Saturday as the reigning SEC champions dropped the visiting Hogs 45-21 thanks to a huge second half keyed by the return of Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall from a brief suspension. The Razorbacks had won three of the last four games at Auburn, but the national championship runner-up Tigers rebounded well in this season opener from their crushing last-second loss to No. 1 Florida State in college football's final BCS title game last season. This season marks the beginning of the NCAA's first four-team playoff format to decide the national champ, and Auburn's 595 yards -- plus a 1-0 start in the nation's toughest conference -- were a good place to begin Saturday. After going to halftime tied 21-21, the Tigers outscored the Razorbacks 24-0 in the second half, keyed by a 32-yard interception return for a TD by defensive back Jermaine Whitehead, who also led the Tigers' defense with seven tackles.
