Heading to Jordan-Hare on Saturday? Auburn is 4-4 and 2-4 in the SEC after two straight losses by 21 or more points. The Tigers say they want to finish strong, and the game has bowl eligibility implications. Arkansas is 3-5 and 1-4 after a 34-10 loss to Missouri.

The first added two starters. Cornerback Andre Jordan Jr. and safety Sylvester Smith-Reed made the report for the first time this season. Both left last week's 45-15 loss to Ole Miss.
