Lambert-Smith’s diving catch in the end zone of a pass from Payton Thorne for a 10-yard touchdown play tied the game 7-7 in the third quarter, then his 67-yard score cut Arkansas’ lead to 17-14 with 9:50 to play in the fourth.

The Auburn Tigers will host an improved Arkansas Razorbacks team to begin SEC play. If they can succeed in these three areas, they'll take home the win on Saturday.
