Arkansas outlasts Auburn in overtime marathon

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Time and again in three seasons under coach Bret Bielema, Arkansas has struggled in the fourth quarter and overtime. The Razorbacks saved their most dramatic win for their longest one yet under Bielema on Saturday, holding on in the end for a thrilling 54-46 win over Auburn in quadruple overtime. It was a back-and-forth game full of lead changes and big plays, the last of which was Arkansas (3-4, 2-2 SEC) quarterback Brandon Allen 's 25-yard touchdown pass to Drew Morgan on the opening play of the fourth extra period. Following a 2-point conversion pass by Allen to Jeremy Sprinkle , the Razorbacks defense finally found a way to stop the Tigers (4-3, 1-3) when it mattered most -- earning Bielema his first win over former Arkansas offensive coordinator and Auburn coach Gus Malzahn in three games.
