Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, Fayetteville, AR
Auburn opens as home favorite against Mississippi StateTwo teams with first-year head coaches are a combined 1-7 in the SEC
Mike Wright - Mediocre in spot startWright was 8-for-12 passing for 85 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 7-3 win against Arkansas. He also had 11 rushes for 60 yards.
ImpactWright led the Bulldogs to the win, but was rather pedestrian in terms of statistics. The severity of the injury to starting quarterback Will Rogers (arm) is unknown, so Wright could get the nod again at Auburn next weekend.

Jo'Quavious Marks - Scores lone touchdown of gameMarks (leg) totaled 17 carries for 42 yards and caught his only target for two yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 7-3 win against Arkansas.
ImpactMarks provided the only scoring for the Bulldogs, and the only touchdown for either team in this low-scoring slog. Marks is averaging 5.2 yards per tote in 2023, though has been much less involved in the passing game than anticipated. He caught 60 passes as a freshman, then 83 as a sophomore. Marks has just 18 receptions as a senior this season. He will look to continue to find some momentum at Auburn next weekend.

Lideatrick Griffin - Quiet in winGriffin gathered in all three targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 7-3 win versus Arkansas.
ImpactGriffin caught seven passes for 256 yards at South Carolina last month, but has otherwise largely failed to find much success of late. He has fewer than 25 yards receiving in three of the last five contests. If the Bulldogs scored one measly touchdown against lowly Arkansas, there is little optimism for a quick turnaround at Auburn next weekend.

Andrew Aurand - Fairly quiet in lossArmstrong had four receptions (on seven targets) for 35 yards during Saturday's 7-3 loss to Mississippi State.
ImpactArmstrong led the Razorbacks in receiving for the game, though the 35 yards marked his second-lowest total of the season, and he has been held out of the end zone in three-straight contests. The Hogs are off before a road clash at Florida.
OCTOBER 22, 2023•ROTOWIRE
KJ Jefferson - Ugly stat line in lossJefferson was 19-for-31 passing for 97 yards and one interception during Saturday's 7-3 loss against Mississippi State. He also had 16 rushes for 38 yards.
ImpactJefferson and the Hogs have endured a six-game losing streak, and this game was arguably the worst of the season for the senior quarterback. Jefferson failed to throw a touchdown for the first time all season, and already has a career-worst seven interceptions this season. The Hogs have a bye before another difficult test at Florida.

Controversial delay of game costs Arkansas in 7-3 lossThe decision likely cost the Razorbacks three points in a disastrous defeat to an underwhelming Bulldogs team.
