The problem for Arkansas has been a horrible defense that gave up 83 points in losses to Alabama and Kentucky. "We're 0-2 in the SEC, so we need to get an SEC win under our belt," McFadden said. The Razorbacks will have to deal with an improved Auburn team that includes running back Brad Lester who is back after serving his six game suspension. He had 77 yards in the win over Vanderbilt last week. Lester combines with Ben Tate and Mario Fannin to give Auburn a talented trio of runners. "We've got the luxury of taking a guy out of the bullpen and putting him into the game," said Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville, "They're all going to get their turns and their at-bats. I like the situation. I just wish we'd had this the entire year. I think we'd be in a different situation altogether."

The main problem for Auburn has been the defense. Last year the defense gave up 27 points to Arkansas. McFadden ran for 145 yards while Felix Jones had 104 yards in the game last season.
