ESPN’s Football Power Index gives the 2-5 Arkansas Razorbacks a 50.7 percent chance to defeat Auburn on Saturday, despite the team being 0-3 in SEC play and relying on an interim head coach in Bobby Petrino. Though it’s the closest margin Auburn’s seen since the Oklahoma game, it’s still far from the vote of confidence Auburn has been looking for.

Hugh Freeze said Auburn football will have all three of its quarterbacks, including freshman Deuce Knight, "ready to play" against Arkansas.
