for the record folks are saying this is a done deal.

New Auburn AD must deliver right football coach Updated: Oct. 30, 2022, 11:19 a.m.|Published: Oct. 30, 2022, 6:30 a.m. 8-10 minutes Welcome to Auburn, John Cohen. Once you pick a new house to move to, you must pick a new football coach. You might even want to reverse the order of those actions. Clearly, Bryan Harsin can’t be the guy moving forward. That’s not a new development – it’s been obvious almost from Day 1 – but the sooner Auburn can pull the plug on the failed second-year head coach, the better. As my colleague, Joe Goodman put it, “A zombie walks the sidelines of Jordan-Hare Stadium where the ghosts of greatness linger in sadness, and the zombie’s name is Bryan Harsin.” The mass fan exodus in the third quarter against Arkansas made very clear what the fanbase thinks of Harsin and the product he trots out each game. The next Auburn athletic director has to dump Harsin and find a worthy replacement who can elevate the program back to where it belongs. Cohen, currently the Mississippi State athletic director, is expected to be that man as the two sides worked to finalize a deal Saturday after the school identified him as its top target, a source with knowledge of the situation told AL.com. Assuming the deal is finalized, Cohen is an interesting pick for an Auburn athletic department that badly needs strong leadership. As a former successful SEC baseball coach, Cohen is more of an old-school AD than the current trends that favor fundraising and marketing experience. Cohen is authentic and well-respected within the conference, but not the most influential voice in the AD room. What bears watching is how Cohen manages a notoriously involved booster base, as he’s known to be strong-willed and won’t automatically rubberstamp whatever influential boosters demand. That could come into play as he must quickly devise a solution for Auburn’s football woes. Cohen made two football hires as Mississippi State’s AD to mixed, at best, results. When Dan Mullen left Mississippi State for Florida, Cohen opted to replace him with Penn State offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead. There were immediate questions about Moorhead’s fit at Mississippi State because he had no real experience coaching or recruiting in the South -- does that sound familiar, Auburn fans? -- but Cohen was blown away by what he heard during the interview. Cohen explained to me that Moorhead won the job over candidates like Jeremy Pruitt in the interview room. “Fit for us was really important, and that’s the importance of going eyeball-to-eyeball with someone and sitting in the same room,” Cohen told me. “You have an idea from talking on the phone, but at the same time sitting in the same room becomes an important factor.” Moorhead, by all accounts a good guy, was a predictably bad fit at Mississippi State. Cohen fired Moorhead after two years and a 14-12 record following a Liberty Bowl loss. After Ole Miss made a splashy hire in Lane Kiffin, Cohen decided to win the press conference luring Mike Leach away from Washington State. Interestingly, in that same story I wrote about how interviews impact coaching searches that featured Cohen’s insight, there is an anecdote about how Leach lost the Maryland job because of how badly he bombed the interview with the selection committee. It seems Cohen didn’t focus as much on the in-person interview when he tabbed the Mad Pirate. Leach has been neither a major success nor a disaster; he has precisely a .500 record at 16-16, benefitting from a strong 5-3 start to this season. Leach has yet to win an Egg Bowl against rival Ole Miss, a game that means a tremendous amount in the state of Mississippi. Cohen, who agreed to a contract extension at MSU earlier this year, was in many ways tied to Leach and needed him to be successful moving forward. At Auburn, it will be more of the same. Cohen’s predecessor, Allen Greene, made the wrong football hire, upsetting important boosters along the way, and that essentially sealed his fate. Unlike Greene, Cohen has Power 5 AD experience and has made major hires before. The big question will be whether Cohen has learned from his previous hiring mistakes. He might get only one shot at a football hire at Auburn, and he must get it right. Auburn should be the best job that opens up this hiring cycle, and there will be plenty of talented coaches that could be options for Cohen to choose from once he makes a change. Does he want a former Ole Miss head coach with equal amounts of baggage and offensive wizardry? Will he try to kick the tires on a recently fired NFL head coach who had considerable success in the Big 12? What about a hotshot offensive coordinator who previously coached at Auburn? Or a coach perfect for prime time?That current Ole Miss head coach wouldn’t be a bad option for reasons I’ve previously laid out. Whomever Cohen decides on, the new coach needs to be able to energize the fanbase in a way Harsin never did. With the growing importance of the transfer portal and Name, Image and Likeness, there is an opportunity for the right coach to hit the ground running and make a significant impact right away. First, Auburn needed to find a new AD, as it appears to have done with Cohen. Whether that will prove the right hire depends entirely on who Cohen can land as the school’s new football coach. GOODMAN: For Auburn, the horror of rock bottom is here RELATED: Jimbo Fisher massive buyout puts Texas A&M in concerning limbo Most pumped fanbase: Illinois Illinois? Illinois! Bret Bielema’s Fighting Illini are 7-1 and in great shape to win the Big Ten West. Has Illinois beaten anyone good? Maybe not, but the fanbase is understandably excited about the program’s first 7-1 start since 2001. Illinois could be 9-1 headed to the Big House to face Michigan in what could improbably be a top 10 showdown. Bielema is clearly a better fit in the Big Ten than SEC, and is looking like the right guy so far for Illinois. Most panicked fanbase: Oklahoma State Poor Gunnar Gundy got thrown to the wolves at the end of perhaps the most embarrassing loss of his dad’s long tenure in Stillwater. 48-0 to a backup quarterback-led Kansas State is stunning. Gone are any hopes of making a run at the College Football Playoff, and instead further realization that this is the purgatory Cowboys fans must live in under Gundy. This atrocious loss notwithstanding, Oklahoma State is always pretty good but never good enough. This one is going to sting for some time. Ranking Week 10 SEC games: 1) Tennessee at Georgia (2:30 p.m.): This could be the SEC Game of the Year. Both are legitimate College Football Playoff contenders, but the winner of this game likely wins the SEC East. I already can’t wait to watch how Tennessee’s high-powered offense fairs against one of the nation’s best defenses. 2) Alabama at LSU (6:00 p.m.): An Alabama team that has struggled on the road all season now has to handle what could be the most intimidating environment in college football -- a night game in Death Valley. There are potential SEC West title implications here as the Crimson Tide tries to stay in the national title hunt. 3) Florida at Texas A&M (11:00 a.m.): Texas A&M finally scored more than 24 points -- hang the banner, Jimbo! -- and looked more competent with Conner Weigman at quarterback. Florida hung tough with Georgia for longer than people expected and could hand the Aggies their sixth loss of the season. 4) Liberty at Arkansas (3:00 p.m.): Hugh Freeze just received a big contract extension, but that won’t stop speculation that he could be the focus of prominent coaching searches. Freeze relishes opportunities to prove he belongs in the SEC again and will dial it up against the Razorbacks. 5) Auburn at Mississippi State (6:30 p.m.): The John Cohen Bowl! Will Cohen sit in a Mississippi State or Auburn luxury suite? That might be more interesting than anything Harsin and Auburn do on the field.

why do you do that? personal and petty seems to be the concensus. malicious and intentional. they think this and other things we might not be aware of are reason to fire him right now with cause on how he treated players and take it to court. i agree.................

Elon Musk bizarrely responds to Hillary Clinton after she links 'hate and deranged conspiracy theories' from GOP to Paul Pelosi's attack: 'There might be more to this story than meets the eye' Katie Balevic Sun, October 30, 2022 at 9:05 AM Elon Musk on May 02, 2022, in New York City.Sean Zanni/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images Elon Musk tweeted a link to a site with conspiracy theories about Paul Pelosi's assault. In a reply to Hillary Clinton, Musk said there "might be more to this story than meets the eye." Police have yet to release a motive for the assault, which left Pelosi hospitalized with a skull fracture. Elon Musk, fresh off his acquisition of Twitter, said there might be "more to the story" on Paul Pelosi's assault, which left House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a skull fracture and serious injuries. In a tweeted reply to Hillary Clinton, Musk shared a link to a site with conspiracy theories about the attack. Clinton condemned the assault, accusing the "Republican Party and its mouthpieces" of regularly spreading "hate and deranged conspiracy theories." "It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow," Clinton tweeted with a link to a Los Angeles Times report about how the suspect in the assault previously spread right-wing QAnon conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and bigotry. "There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye," Musk replied, linking to a site with the headline, "The Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute Early Friday Morning." The site appeared to be inaccessible shortly after Musk shared a link. Authorities have not yet released a motive for the attack on Paul Pelosi, though the suspect was reportedly shouting "Where is Nancy?" when he broke into the house around 2:30 a.m. on Friday morning, Business Insider previously reported. Speaker Pelosi was not home at the time. In a statement released Saturday, Pelosi said "a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me and brutally attacked my husband Paul." "Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop," she said in the statement. Police identified the suspect as 42-year-old David DePape. Following the assault, Paul Pelosi underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and is expected to make a full recovery. While several mainstream conservatives have condemned the assault, some right-wing pundits have cast doubt and shared conspiracy theories about the attack. On Fox News, host Jesse Watters criticized the police response to Paul Pelosi's assault, suggesting that the response was stronger because of Pelosi's status as the spouse of the House Speaker, Business Insider previously reported. Meanwhile, GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger called out fellow Republicans for promoting the same election conspiracy theories that the suspect in the assault had shared.

i saw some colorful fall pics of mentone and thought of you bro. cheaha seems to be underwhelming because we did not get enough rain.

she is sicking her little minions on people that disagree with her and i hope she ends up rotting in jail. it is one thing to disagree but it is a whole different ballgame when folks are out there motivating others to hurt people. and trust me when many do not care and some have laughed and said they wish it was nancy. there is no party that meets my needs but at least the dems are not out there encouraging violence. and trust me they ARE listening.

wow. he admitted in last nights presser he mentioned the coaches need to do better..........

are all our kids that bad or is it coaching? i think it is coaching.

" Narcissist".pathological in fact. they never listen to anyone and pretty much think they are more knowledgeable than everyone else. this will not change no matter how much the team struggles. it is never about the coaches not getting it done but always on the players. the players are this and the players that. i will allow harsin might just be insane because only crazy people keep doing the same ol things for almost two years and expecting better results. trust me i know a couple of narcissists and they are never wrong and always put the blame on others. this is what harsin is doing. i and sick and damn tired of him throwing the kids under the bus when the blame lands squarely on his shoulders. say what you want a real man admits when he is wrong and makes serious measures to right the ship. all we get are "we are so close" instead of admitting you deserve more blame than anyone else. YOU are in charge.YOU are not getting it done. YOU need to make like horsh*t and hit the trail. and i am being nice believe it or not. he is destroying auburn football and there is not a damn thing i can do about it.

Auburn’s defensive decline continues in 41-27 loss to Arkansas Published: Oct. 29, 2022, 5:47 p.m. 5-6 minutes Bryan Harsin took umbrage with a question asked after Auburn’s latest defensive letdown, but like the on-field product, Harsin’s defensive effort left something to be desired. After Auburn’s 41-27 loss to Arkansas, in which his defense surrendered 200-plus rushing yards for the third straight week and 40-plus points for the fourth time in the last six games, Harsin was asked to what he would attribute the Tigers’ defensive regression to this season. After all, strong defenses have been a calling card for the program in recent years, with the unit often putting the team on its back through some offensive valleys. Read more Auburn football: Instant analysis: Auburn throttled by Arkansas for fourth consecutive loss Auburn finalizing deal to make Mississippi State’s John Cohen next AD Rewinding Auburn’s 41-27 loss to Arkansas “In comparison to everybody else?” Harsin bristled. “And all the other teams that we didn’t coach when we were here? That were here?” It was pointed out that even last year’s team, when Harsin was in his first as Auburn’s head coach, featured a solid defense, though Harsin interjected before the follow-up could be finished. Auburn was 27th nationally in scoring defense in 2021, top-30 in rushing defense (and 21st in fewest yards allowed per carry), ranked top-25 in defensive red-zone touchdown percentage and was 36th nationally in third-down defense. Whether Harsin wants to acknowledge the comparison, the fact of the matter is Auburn’s defense has seen an overall sharp decline this season. Saturday’s loss to Arkansas was just the latest example, as the Razorbacks rushed for 286 yards and four touchdowns, averaged 7.2 yards per play and 6.8 sack-adjusted rushing yards per carry while becoming the third consecutive opponent to score at least 40 points against the Tigers. It’s the first time in program history that Auburn has surrendered 40-plus points in four games in a single season, and Saturday’s loss marked the first time the Tigers have ever given up 40-plus in three consecutive games. The only other seasons with three total games of allowing 40-plus points were 1948, 2011 and 2012. “They really walked in here, put 40 on us, and walked out,” defensive lineman Colby Wooden said. “I’ve never had that happen in my time here. It’s a difficult thing to digest, but you have to look in the mirror. Kudos to them; they were the better team today. Point-blank, period.” When Harsin tried to pinpoint the biggest issues that have led to the Tigers’ defensive decline, he brought up missed tackles (of which there were many, again, against the Razorbacks), an inability to stop the run, as well as Auburn’s struggles getting off the field on third downs. Arkansas converted 8-of-14 (57.1 percent) third-down attempts at Jordan-Hare Stadium. That’s the highest third-down conversion rate the Tigers have allowed at home under Harsin, and it’s the second straight game the program has allowed its opponent to convert more than 50 percent of its third-down tries; Ole Miss converted 12-of-19 (63.2 percent) of its third-down opportunities against Auburn two weeks ago. “That’s not what we want,” Harsin said. The most glaring deficiency for Auburn’s defense, though, has been stopping the run — which was further highlighted against Arkansas, which entered the game with a top-10 rushing attack and propensity for running the ball as often as the option-based service academies. The Razorbacks racked up 286 rushing yards total (and 304 sack-adjusted yards running the ball). Raheim Sanders paced the Razorbacks on the ground, running for 171 yards on 16 carries. Much of that came on a devastating 76-yard run in the third quarter after Auburn pinned Arkansas at its own 6-yard line. “It’s very frustrating,” edge defender Derick Hall said. “You know, we’ll go back and watch the tape. We’ll see what we mess up. I just know game after game, we gift them a lot of things — whether it be penalties or one guy getting out of his gap or anything like that. Today, the defense didn’t have the best game, and it starts with me. I don’t think I played to my best standard. We’ll go back and see what we have to do to get better tomorrow.” Saturday marked the first time since 2012 that Auburn has surrendered 200-plus rushing yards in three consecutive games. That season, it was Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M; this year, the culprits were Georgia, Ole Miss and Arkansas. Auburn has now allowed 264.8 rushing yards per game against six Power 5 opponents this season — a mark that is among the worst in the nation. A once-proud defense is left reeling. “It’s not good,” Harsin said. “I see the same thing you see. It’s not good…. It just comes back to we’ve got to do a better job. If we had the answers for that, we wouldn’t have 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns (allowed on the ground the last three games). But that’s not a good stat. And that’s not something that’s going to help us. Obviously, it hasn’t, and it’s something we’ve got to fix.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

Joseph Goodman: For Auburn, the horror of rock bottom is here Updated: Oct. 29, 2022, 7:06 p.m.|Published: Oct. 29, 2022, 4:43 p.m. 5-6 minutes Auburn football is a tomb of the tedious in these days before Halloween. Boring. Without. Signifying nothing. Devoid even of sound, but the cause of all fury. Make it stop, please, this forever place between the living and the dead that Auburn now occupies like a ghoul as it free-falls downward into the dungeons of the SEC West. What did we learn about Auburn on Saturday that we didn’t already know? Arkansas’ 41-27 victory proved that even a perpetual bottom-feeder of this league can suddenly walk into Jordan-Hare Stadium and embarrass the Tigers. Former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix went 6-0 combined against Ole Miss and Arkansas in his three years on The Plains. In back to back games, Auburn lost to both. Mississippi State is next up, and then it’s Texas A&M. Those used to be easy wins for Auburn. Now the games don’t even matter and it’s still October. RELATED: Auburn throttled by Arkansas in fourth straight loss RELATED: Auburn finalizing deal to make John Cohen next AD RELATED: Deion Sanders says he’d entertain offers from other teams It can’t get any worse than this. That is the only ray of sunshine anyone at Auburn has left to offer its fans after what was witnessed on Saturday — that and maybe the future of the quarterback position. Robby Ashford had a decent game, throwing for 285 yards and a touchdown in addition to his excellent rushing, but yet his team still had no chance. Auburn’s defense is a rotting pit of sacrificial decay. Arkansas had 520 yards of offense, and quarterback KJ Jefferson looked like Cam Newton. They used to throw toilet paper into trees here after victories. By the fourth quarter, I wanted to wrap my head in Charmin like a mummy. Bring me back from the dark side when it’s 2023. What is life without hope? What is existence without meaning? In the SEC, it is Vanderbilt football always. For at least a little while longer it will be Auburn, too. That’s the state of Auburn while the school plays out this nightmare of naught. It hurts, but there is pain now so there will be no poison tomorrow. That is my hope anyway. For now, though, there are only the final days of a terrible mistake. A zombie walks the sidelines of Jordan-Hare Stadium where the ghosts of greatness linger in sadness, and the zombie’s name is Bryan Harsin. In the role of Auburn football coach, he is a dead man walking. “Physically, we just got beat,” Harsin said. Fire the guy already. Allow Auburn to wipe its memory clean of these last two years. Harsin had his introductory news conference on Christmas Eve. Release this shadow of a coach on All Hallows’ Eve. “How would I summarize the season so far?” Harsin said when asked that very question. “Yeah,” he said. He did not answer, as usual. He did, however, change out of his Auburn-branded apparel before his postgame news conference, so that was good to see. The good teams of the SEC run headlong into November with dreams of playing for a national championship. At Auburn, a headless team without life drags itself aimlessly towards nothingness and worse, the bottom of the SEC West standings. Auburn’s only win in its last eight conference games was against Missouri. The Tigers are 3-13 since the loss last season to Texas A&M. It’s so bad. Arkansas 41, Auburn 27 was like witnessing the slow torture of friend. Oh, the horror. Even Colonel Kurtz had a plan, though. This is a new dimension of nope. Harsin was asked what was wrong with his team. “We can’t put our finger on it,” he said before deciding it was as simple as Auburn “not playing good football.” We have passed through the event horizon, and where we are going you do not want eyes. Courageously proud, the Auburn fan base remains resilient and strong, but even the loyalists had seen enough against Arkansas. The upper decks were thin at the beginning, and then empty by the end of the third quarter. Auburn trailed 17-13 at the end of the first half, but allowed 21 straight points after the break. Thankfully, there are signs that the struggle of this exercise in self-harm are coming to an end. During the game, there were reports that Auburn was finally making progress in its search for a new director of athletics. John Cohen, the current AD at Mississippi State, is the name, and, having been raised in Tuscaloosa, he should be well familiar with Auburn. Did he grow up an Alabama fan? It’s a frightening thought, but nothing could be scarier than Auburn’s current reality.

Scarbinsky: Auburn football’s a loser again, but is hope on the horizon? Published: Oct. 30, 2022, 5:45 a.m. 2 minutes By Kevin Scarbinsky | Special to AL.com This is an opinion column. There may be hope for Auburn yet. Not on the football field, where this helpless season and the hopeless tenure of an overmatched coach can’t end soon enough, but behind closed doors, where decisions that shape the future are made. As AL.com has reported, it appears that Auburn is one step closer to saying good riddance to Bryan Harsin and his arrogance and hello, please save us to John Cohen and his experience as athletics director. So there is a light at the end of this tunnel. On Harsin, the less said, the better after Arkansas 41, Auburn 27. Anyone who engaged in or endorsed his hiring should not be permitted within three football fields of the next one. A fourth straight loss dropped the Tigers to 3-5 this year and 3-10 in their last 13 games. The last Auburn coach to suffer through a worse stretch: Shug Jordan lost the last four games of his first season in 1951 and went 2-8 in 1952 for a 2-12 period of darkness before the dawn. At this point, let me apologize to the Jordan family for mentioning the beloved, salt-of-the-earth Shug in the same breath as the haughty Harsin. One has his name on the stadium because he embodied what it means to be an Auburn man. The other has been the antithesis, and he shouldn’t be allowed to darken that doorway for one more Saturday.

Auburn targeting Mississippi State's John Cohen as AD Updated: Oct. 29, 2022, 2:38 p.m.|Published: Oct. 29, 2022, 1:59 p.m. 4-5 minutes Auburn Football Auburn finalizing deal to make Mississippi State’s John Cohen next AD Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen, left, hands new head football coach Joe Moorhead a traditional cowbell during an NCAA college football news conference, Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, in Starkville, Miss. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis)AP By John Talty | jtalty@al.com Tom Green | tgreen@al.com Auburn is closing in on its next athletic director after nearly a two-month search and it is someone with a deep knowledge of the Southeastern Conference. Auburn has zeroed in on Mississippi State athletic director John Cohen and is working to finalize a deal to make him the school’s 16th all-time AD, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to AL.com. ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported news of Auburn pursuing Cohen. Cohen would replace Allen Greene, who stepped down as Auburn’s athletics director at the end of August. In the two months since, the Tigers have had two people oversee the athletics department. Chief operating officer Marcy Girton served as acting AD for 12 days before university president Dr. Chris Roberts named executive associate AD for compliance Rich McGlynn as the Tigers’ interim AD. Prior to entering the administration side of athletics in 2016, Cohen spent 25 years as a college baseball coach, including eight years as head coach at Mississippi State, where he led the Bulldogs to five postseason appearances, including three Super Regional berths and a College World Series runner-up finish in 2013. Before arriving at Mississippi State, Cohen was head coach at Kentucky for five seasons, and prior to that was an assistant coach at Florida. Cohen would be the second consecutive Mississippi State athletics director to leave Starkville, Miss., for another SEC job. His predecessor, Scott Stricklin, left Mississippi State to become Florida’s AD in 2016. Since taking over Mississippi State’s athletics department, Cohen has been responsible for the hiring of 12 head coaches across the Bulldogs’ athletics programs. Among those were Mike Leach, who took over as football coach prior to the 2020 season, and former New Mexico State men’s basketball coach Chris Jans, who was named the Bulldogs’ head coach in March. One of Cohen’s first and most crucial decisions as Auburn’s athletics director will be to determine the fate of head football coach Bryan Harsin, who is in just his second season with the Tigers but has been under immense scrutiny since his first season ended with a five-game losing streak and a 6-7 overall record. That was followed by an offseason of upheaval, both with the roster (19 transfers out of the program) and coaching staff (including changes at offensive, defensive and special teams coordinators), that led into a February university-run inquiry into Harsin’s handling of the program. Harsin emerged relatively unscathed, and he challenged skeptics to “watch” Auburn’s on-field product this season. He hasn’t delivered on that, though, as Auburn is just 3-4 on the season and 1-3 in SEC play, as the Tigers have a losing record during Harsin’s tenure.

Instant Impressions: Arkansas 41, Auburn 27 Nathan King 6-7 minutes AUBURN, Alabama — Coming off a bye week, at home, with the team it owned its longest active SEC winning streak against, Saturday’s matchup with Arkansas seemed like as good an opportunity as ever for Auburn to regain some mojo and put itself in position to get back in the win column — or at least closely contend to do so. Instead, Bryan Harsin has now lost to every SEC West team since taking over as Auburn’s head coach — and this one came in an ugly loss at home, likely solidifying the 2022 season as one of the worst in the program’s modern history. Arkansas wore down the Tigers on the ground and strolled to a 41-27 win in Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday afternoon, handing Auburn its fourth straight loss and its seventh loss in its past eight SEC games. Harsin is now 1-7 in his last eight Power Five games, as Auburn (3-5, 1-4 SEC) may have played its way out of contention for a bowl game. Here are Auburn Undercover’s immediate takeaways from another dark day for the program under Harsin’s watch. Not much to show in Year 2 With the Arkansas loss, Auburn’s longest SEC winning streak (six games) was broken. Of course, the Tigers also saw the same winning streak snapped in their last game against Ole Miss. Auburn’s longest SEC winning streak is now a tie between Kentucky and Missouri (both three games). The Tigers have lost to every other division opponent at least once under Harsin. Tigers make up ground Arkansas went up 14-3 early in the second quarter on two straight long touchdown drives, though the Tigers were able to make up some ground and keep things close at halftime. Keionte Scott looked to have doomed Auburn’s possession by letting a punt roll past him, giving the Hogs a whopping 76 yards on the kick. But Robby Ashford scrambled for 34 yards on third down from his own 11-yard line to spark the drive, then Bigsby capped things with a 41-yard touchdown scamper, sprung by a nice block from freshman tight end Micah Riley-Ducker. With the long touchdown, Bigsby passed Kerryon Johnson for 11th on Auburn’s all-time rushing list. Arkansas looked as if it was about to go up 21-10 the next drive, when KJ Jefferson hooked up with Matt Landers for a 56-yard pickup inside the 10-yard line. But Auburn got a red-zone stop and forced a field goal. The Hogs only got a field goal out of their final three drives of the first half, with Jefferson missing on five of his last eight passes in the second quarter. Auburn, meanwhile, had a nicely executed, 47-second drive before the half, with Ashford completing three passes for 58 yards to set up a chip-shot field goal to make it 17-13. But can't close out drives Auburn’s offense was by no means inept; some of its successes from the Ole Miss game certainly carried over. But the issue was with closing out drives, not moving the ball. Five of the Tigers’ first eight drives entered Arkansas territory, but Auburn came away with only 13 points. That trend continued immediately out of the gates at halftime, when it looked as if Auburn might drive right down the field and take the lead. It went 13 plays inside Arkansas’ 30-yard line, but just like the opening drive of the game, Robby Ashford was sacked and the field-goal was pushed back. Only this time, instead of Anders Carlson missing — which he did from 46 yards out in the first quarter — his 52-yard attempt was blocked. Arkansas, meanwhile, scored every time it got some momentum going on a possession. The Razorbacks entered Auburn territory seven times and scored on all of them. Auburn was outscored 24-14 the rest of the way after it had the ball in Arkansas territory early in the third quarter. Auburn scored on a short Jarquez Hunter touchdown with 4 seconds left in the game. Rocket applies the dagger Arkansas was dominating the third quarter, but a 51-yard punt by Oscar Chapman was downed at Arkansas’ 6-yard line, seemingly giving the Tigers a chance to stay in the game with a stop and, presumably, decent field position. Instead, SEC leading rusher Rocket Sanders found an opening on the left side and burst for a 76-yard pickup, being dragged down in the red zone by Zion Puckett. The Razorbacks found the end zone with a third-and-goal touchdown by Rashod Dubinion to put Sam Pittman’s team up 31-13 toward the end of the third quarter. Arkansas easily drove down the field at the start of the fourth quarter, too, eating up a whopping 7:35 of clock. The Hogs scored touchdowns on three straight drives to open the second half: 64, 94 and 84 yards. Against the SEC's worst run defense, Arkansas ran for 290 yards and four touchdowns. Auburn has now given up 26 rushing scores this season, and has allowed 1,033 rushing yards over its past three games. Other notes Ashford had his most efficient passing performance of the season — 24-of-33 for 285 yards and a touchdown. Auburn also didn't have a turnover for the first time since the Missouri game in Week 4, but sacks and other setbacks in opposing territory kept the Tigers from finding much consistency in terms of scoring. Ashford was also Auburn's leading rusher with 87 yards. Bigsby had his 41-yard touchdown, but had only 22 yards on his 10 other carries, as Auburn's offensive line struggled once again. 6COMMENTS The Tigers' defense has now given up 40 points in a game four times this year, the most in a season in program history. Auburn Undercover will update this story. Check back for additional information. ">247Sports

Bryan Harsin’s latest loss has fans on social media questioning how he survives the weekend Chris Wallace 4-5 minutes Bryan Harsin and Auburn were blown out at home on Saturday, losing to Arkansas, 41-27, in a game that was not as close as the final score would indicate. The loss dropped the Tigers to 3-5 on the season and Harsin is now just 3-10 in his last 13 games. Speculation has been running rampant for weeks that Harsin could be fired at any time. One issue, however, is that Auburn still needs a new athletic director. That search might be just about over, however, as multiple reports have surfaced Saturday indicating that the Tigers are close to hiring Mississippi State AD John Cohen. If Cohen is hired, it will be interesting to see what impact that has on Harsin’s situation. What’s clear, however, is that Auburn fans are ready to move on now, and college football fans don’t expect Harsin to last much longer. Social media was abuzz about Harsin against Saturday, as has been the case most of the season: If we hire an AD, that stops the bleeding.

“The recently reported voter intimidation in Arizona is a direct result of the blatant lies Republicans like Blake Masters, Kari Lake, Mark Finchem, and Abe Hamadeh are spewing about our elections,” Téran said, referring to the state’s GOP nominees for U.S. senator, governor, secretary of state and attorney general.

Arizona Democrats Have Been Getting Creepy Anonymous Letters Murjani Rawls 3 minutes Fences surround the Maricopa County Tabulation and Elections Center (MCTEC) in Phoenix, Arizona, on October 25, 2022, to help prevent incidents and pressure on voters at the ballot drop box. Arizona has recently been a hotbed for voter suppression and intimidation activity. However, a new tactic by a right-winged “vigilante” group might have upped the stakes. A group that dubbed themselves “Ben Sent Us,” after Benjamin Franklin, have been sending letters to various Arizona Democrat chairpersons threatening multiple things, according to the Daily Beast. Some letters say these anonymous members “will be locating your homes” and if any voting discrepancies are found, “will be considered a traitor and dealt with accordingly, as will you.” Ordinary citizens have also been receiving flyers indicating they are being watched.

The Daily Beast points out that the group’s website is hosted by OrangeWebsite, known for anonymous and encrypted web hosting. “You will not know us; you will not see us; you will not know what we do,” according to a statement on the group’s website. “We might be your neighbor, your coworker, your cleric, your grocer, or the teacher in your school. We might be the person walking their dog down your street in front of your homes.” “Ben Sent Us” was also cited in an election lawsuit filed to a federal court in Phoenix. The suit also named Clean Elections USA founder Melody Jennings who has promoted the anonymous group on her Truth Social account. Arizona Democratic Party chair Senator Raquel Téran placed the blame squarely at the feet of new Trump-endorsed candidates like Blake Masters and Kari Lake for cultivating this environment. “The recently reported voter intimidation in Arizona is a direct result of the blatant lies Republicans like Blake Masters, Kari Lake, Mark Finchem, and Abe Hamadeh are spewing about our elections,” Téran said, referring to the state’s GOP nominees for U.S. senator, governor, secretary of state and attorney general.

Accused Pelosi attacker David DePape spread QAnon, other far-right, bigoted conspiracies Summer Lin, Salvador Hernandez, Terry Castleman 7-9 minutes David DePape, pictured in 2013, is accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, at the couple's home in San Francisco on Friday. (Michael Short / San Francisco Chronicle) For the record: 7:56 p.m. Oct. 28, 2022: A previous version of this article referred to “Black Adam” as a Marvel movie. Black Adam is a DC Comics character. In the months before police accused him of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Friday morning, David DePape had been drifting further into the world of far-right conspiracies, antisemitism and hate, according to a Times review of his online accounts. In a personal blog that DePape maintained, posts include such topics as "Manipulation of History," "Holohoax" and "It's OK to be white." He mentioned 4chan, a favorite message board of the far right. He posted videos about conspiracies involving COVID-19 vaccines and the war in Ukraine being a ploy for Jewish people to buy land. DePape's screeds included posts about QAnon, an unfounded theory that former President Trump is at war with a cabal of Satan-worshipping elites who run a child sex ring and control the world. In an Aug. 23 entry titled "Q," DePape wrote: "Either Q is Trump himself or Q is the deepstate moles within Trumps inner circle." DePape's daughter, Inti Gonzalez, told The Times that her father wrote the blog. She said that she and her mother were reeling from the news that DePape had been arrested in connection with the attack on Paul Pelosi. “I’m a little shocked," she said, "but not really that shocked, in all honesty.” Authorities have not revealed a motive for the attack at the Pelosi home in San Francisco early Friday. But law enforcement sources said the assailant shouted, “Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?” before confronting Paul Pelosi, and San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott called the attack "intentional." Several lawmakers have blamed hyper-partisanship and divisive political rhetoric for an increase in political violence and security incidents in recent years, especially following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Scott said after a 911 call to the Pelosi residence, officers found a man — later identified as DePape — and Paul Pelosi "both holding a hammer." The intruder pulled the hammer from the 82-year-old Pelosi and then began striking him, Scott said. Officers tackled the suspect, disarmed him and took him into custody. DePape, 42, was taken to a hospital and later booked on suspicion of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary and destroying a cellphone to prevent someone from seeking help, authorities said. Paul Pelosi underwent surgery Friday after the attack. Drew Hammill, a spokesperson for Nancy's Pelosi's office, said in a statement that Pelosi suffered a skull fracture and serious injuries to his right arm and hands. "His doctors expect a full recovery," the statement said. DePape followed a number of conservative creators online, including Tim Pool, Glenn Beck, DailyWire+ and the Epoch Times. He also followed an account on YouTube called Black Pilled and reposted several of its videos on his blog. "Blackpilling" is internet slang for coming to believe supposedly unacceptable facts about society, and the reposted videos include accusations such as the FBI covering up child rape. Three of DePape’s relatives — including his father — declined to be interviewed for this article. They said they haven't been in contact with DePape for years and that he’s not in contact with his family. DePape grew up in British Columbia and moved to California more than 20 years ago, one of them said. DePape was mentioned in a 2013 San Francisco Chronicle article and was described as a "father figure" to Gypsy Taub, a nudist who lived in a three-bedroom Victorian apartment in Berkeley with her then-fiance and her three children. DePape, who was "a hemp jewelry maker," was the best man in Taub's wedding. When DePape was sounding off about QAnon, he posted: "Remember when the UK arrested parents for trying to rescue their children from being gang banged at pedo rape parties and f— LET the pedo's CONTINUE their kiddie rape orgies," he continued. Another post referenced "pizzagate," a bogus conspiracy theory that posited that children were trapped in a sexual abuse ring in a Washington, D.C., pizzeria run by Hillary Clinton and a chief aide. "Pizza gate is connected to Epstien hahahahha," a post from Aug. 23 read. "My friends would be like pizza gate was debunked their is NO such thing as elite pedophile sex rings and I'm like HELLO Epstein what planet are you on?" In another, he called “equity” a leftist dog whistle “for the systematic oppression of white people” and “diversity” a “dog whistle for the genocide of the white race.” In others, he posted separate videos questioning the Holocaust and alleging Jewish bankers were responsible for Hitler’s rise to power. DePape also ran a WordPress blog with the domain “godisloving.wordpress.com,” which included racial slurs and far-right conspiracy theories, according to news reports. A spokesperson for WordPress.com, which is owned by Automattic, confirmed that DePape's blog was taken down Friday "for violating our Terms of Service." DePape also shared intimate emails and texts with family members, peppering them with xenophobic ideas and conspiracy theories. Even nonpolitical posts, such as one about a visit to a movie theater to watch “Black Adam,” were laden with conspiracy theories and ideas about racial tension. “The critics are f— commie gate keepers,” reads a post written two days before the attack on Pelosi. In it, he writes he “enjoyed” the superhero movie. “Fantastic performance by Mr. ‘The Rock’ he carried the movie.” But the writing quickly jumped to a conspiracy that the movie plot is not about the comic superhero Black Adam, but an effort to push hate against white people. "The real plot of the story was kill all white people,” DePape wrote. “Black adams [sic] was just a plot device for hollywood to push their white hate narrative.” Days after Kanye West's Twitter and Instagram accounts were locked due to antisemitic remarks, DePape created a subsection of his personal blog dedicated to posts about Jewish people. He attempted to debunk the Holocaust and repeated antisemitic sentiments in nearly 20 posts over a 10-day period. He also posted personal conversations with his daughter. Their chats sometimes were about simple moments, including whistling back at birds, while others were darker, angry moments among DePape, Gonzalez and her mother. Gonzalez said she was aware that her father posted some of their text conversations on the blog, but said she hadn’t paid very close attention to the rest of the content. “I knew that he was posting things like that, but I didn’t know he posted all the stuff that I sent him,” she said. "But I don’t really care.” She’d been in contact with her father, she said, but said her family did not want to discuss him at the moment. DePape posted videos to Facebook by MyPillow Chief Executive Mike Lindell saying that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, according to reports. He also linked to sites with claims about the deadliness of COVID-19 vaccines. “The death rates being promoted are what ever ‘THEY’ want to be promoted as the death rate,” one post read. DePape's Facebook page appeared to no longer be accessible Friday. Facebook's parent, Meta, didn't immediately respond to a request for information. Times staff writers Noah Goldberg, Richard Winton, Alexandra E. Petri and Gregory Yee contributed to this report. This story originally appeared in Los Angeles Times.

'It's sick': Democratic lawmaker denounces Marjorie Taylor Greene for making the violent attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband about herself and promoting political violence in the past Taylor Ardrey 2-3 minutes Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia.Drew Angerer/Getty Images Rep. Jim McGovern denounced Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's remarks on the attack on Paul Pelosi. McGovern said that Greene made the assault against the House Speaker's husband about herself. He also called out Greene for promoting political violence against Democrats in the past. Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern rebuked Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday for making the violent attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband about herself. Early Friday an intruder broke into Pelosi's San Francisco home and attacked her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer, leaving the 82-year-old hospitalized. The suspect was reportedly looking for the House Speaker, but she was not home at the time. In response to the attack, Greene tweeted that "violence and crime are rampant in Joe Biden's America," adding that "it shouldn't happen to me." She noted that she was swatted multiple times and has received death threats on a daily basis. McGovern denounced Greene and blamed her for calling for Pelosi's execution in the past. "YOU called for Nancy Pelosi to be executed. YOU said she should be hung for treason," the Massachusetts lawmaker tweeted. "And now that someone listened, you're making Paul Pelosi's attack about YOU. This is what Republicans stand for, America. It's sick." Greene recently testified that she does not recall supporting political violence against members of the Democratic Party, including Pelosi. However, in a Facebook video in 2019, Greene called Pelosi a "traitor to our country." "She took an oath to protect American citizens and uphold our laws. And she gives aid and comfort to our enemies who illegally invade our land. That's what treason is," Greene reportedly said at the time, per CNN. "And by our law, representatives and senators can be kicked out and no longer serve in our government. And it's a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason."
