FAYETTEVILLE — Quarterback Taylen Green missed a series with cramps on Saturday, but then returned to lead the Razorbacks to a 24-14 win over Auburn in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Green was 12 of 27 passing against Auburn for 151 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He did lead the team in rushing with 18 carries for 80 yards. He missed a series when Malachi Singleton replaced him as Green was suffering from cramps. Many assumed that Sam Pittman and Bobby Petrino replaced Green due to him struggling, but Pittman explained after the game that wasn’t the case.
“Well, we didn’t bench him,” Pittman said. “He had cramps. He was cramping up and then him getting some fluids in him and coming back, it shows a lot about what we know about the kid from summer workouts and all that, you know what I mean? That’s who we see. And offensive line-wise, running backs, wideouts, Taylen, to go down, that was a big, big drive in the game. For them guys to execute and get it all done. A great, great, call by coach Petrino, to get down there and get it in was awesome.”…
