Arkansas State will travel to Jordan Hare Stadium on Sept. 7, 2013. It will be the third meeting between these two schools in the last seven years. Auburn leads the series 2-0 after wins in 2006 (27-0) and 2010 (52-26).

The Tigers now have three non-conference games in 2013. Auburn also hosts Jacksonville State and Washington State, both on dates to be announced. One of those will likely be the season opener.
