Zac Etheridge was one of many, many players to score Saturday in the Arkansas-Auburn game.

There are few words for the Krakatoa of points we saw Saturday night in the Auburn-Arkansas game, so let's go with some numbers instead:

55: The total number of first downs in the game, 30 for Arkansas and 25 for the Tigers. Most of those came on first or second down; the teams converted "only" eight third- and fourth-down conversions.

1,036: The total yardage in the game, including 566 for Arkansas and 470 for Auburn. To put that into context, New Mexico State went into this week with 1,313 yards of total offense -- for the season (five games).

428: Passing yards for the Razorbacks; Army had 408 in six games at the beginning of the day.

330: Rushing yards for the Tigers. Cameron Newton accounted for 188 of them.

1.8: Points scored per minute by the two teams.
