Following a 19-13 loss to No. 2 Clemson, Auburn opened as a two-score favorite against Arkansas State.

The Tigers opened at 11-point favorites against the Red Wolves, according to VegasInsider.com, for next Saturday's game at 6:30 p.m. (SEC Network).

The line moved rapidly though, as VegasInsider.com's consensus has already shifted to Auburn being favored by 19 points.

Arkansas State also lost its season opener, falling to Toledo 31-10 at home.

It will be Auburn coach Gus Malzahn's second meeting with his former team. Auburn has won all three meetings in the all-time series, last beating the Red Wolves 38-9 in 2013.

Former Auburn wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Trooper Taylor, who coaches Arkansas State's defensive backs, will be making his return to the Plains along with his son, Blaise, who played at Auburn High School.

Chauncey Mason, the younger brother of Auburn single-season rushing record holder Tre Mason, is also at ASU.

Auburn is 23-0 all-time against Sun Belt teams.
