College football media reacts to Bo Nix leading Auburn to big win vs. Arkansas
By John Buhler
The college football media reacts to Auburn handing Arkansas its third straight loss of the year.
With a convincing 38-23 victory at their place, the Auburn Tigers have sent the Arkansas Razorbacks crashing back to earth.
While Arkansas certainly had its moments in this game, Auburn continues to get better under first-year head coach Bryan Harsin. This was the best game Bo Nix has played away from Jordan-Hare Stadium, as he completed 21-of-26 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and a pick, as well as five carries for 42 yards and an additional trip to pay dirt on the ground for the Tigers.
Here is how the college football media reacted to Auburn getting a strong fifth win of the season.

This was the sixth straight time the Tigers have beaten the Razorbacks in a row, which is the longest active winning streak on either side in this annual rivalry series.
Auburn has won 6 straight vs Arkansas, the longest streak for either school in series history.

Not sure how good #Auburn is, but the Tigers have shown up on the road against Arkansas and LSU, and were in the game at Penn State. Bo Nix is clearly improving under coach Bryan Harsin.

Interesting team to follow down the stretch.
Is Bo Nix elite?

Bo Nix's struggles on the road have been well-documented. Today? 21 of 26, 292 yards, three total touchdowns.

His best QB rating in an SEC road game in two years (192.8) and his best ever against a ranked opponent.
Auburn still has to play Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Alabama in divisional play, but the Tigers are pushing closer to a 9-3 regular-season mark under Harsin. Again, this team is getting better every week under his guidance.
