The Auburn defense was expected to be a strength of this team but down the stretch, the tigers keep allowing a ton of points and yards. 

Elite defenders like Colby Wooden and DJ James continue to find themselves with the highest scores via PFF. 

Wesley Steiner had a tough day on Saturday in both coverage and tackling. Jeffrey M'Ba got a larger role, playing 18 snaps on defense, but looks to still be adjusting to the speed of the game. 

Let's take a look at Auburn's defensive PFF grades from the battle with the Arkansas Razorbacks.
