Game Summary

984 Auburn,  AL - Dameyune Craig ran for a touchdown and passed for another and Rusty Williams rushed for two scores to lead 24th-ranked Auburn to a 28-7 victory over Arkansas in a Southeastern Conference game.

Craig scored on an 11-yard run with 1:32 left in the second quarter and hit Tyrone Goodson with a 26-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Craig completed 12-of-18 passes for 185 yards and rushed for 54 yards on 16 carries.

"I wanted to put more pressure on their defense by rolling out with the pocket which I don't think I have been doing a good job of," said Craig. "But, I thought I did that well tonight. Overall, running and passing, I thought we played well offensively."

Williams scored on runs of 15 and three yards for Auburn (6-2, 4-2 SEC West Division).

Auburn recorded three interceptions and lead the nation with 18, one more than Virginia.

"I really like this game, more than any other so far this season," said Auburn coach Terry Bowden. "It was our best game of the year as far as how it felt."

Arkansas (2-5, 0-4 SEC West), along with Vanderbilt, is one of two schools that have failed to win a conference game. The Razorbacks have lost four conference games by a combined 72 points.

Oscar Malone scored on an eight-yard run with 2:36 left in the first quarter to give Arkansas a 7-0 lead. Malone finished with 88 yards on 16 carries.

Williams scored on a 15-yard run and Craig had an 11-yard touchdown run in a 3:45 span of the second quarter to give Auburn a 14-7 halftime lead.

A three-yard touchdown run by Williams 2:58 into the third quarter increased the lead to 21-7.

Craig connected with Goodson on a 26-yard touchdown with 13:50 left.

Auburn leads the all-time series, 4-1-1.
