Back to reality, back to work

Auburn being beaten at Arkansas shouldn’t come as so much of a surprise. I kind of figured Ryan Mallett might have his way against the Tiger defense. What was surprising was the way Arkansas jumped out to the quick lead, putting Auburn in a hole it never could climb out of.
Pretty much everything that could go wrong, went wrong for the Tigers in this one.
With that said, it’s certainly not the end of the world and I expect Auburn to bounce back quickly.
It certainly helps to have Kentucky as the opponent Saturday night in Jordan-Hare.
If Auburn plays up to its capabilities, the Tigers should have no trouble with the Wildcats.
Perhaps the spanking in Arkansas got Auburn’s attention.
If nothing else, it brought the Tigers back down to earth after such an impressive start to the season.
