Arkansas Rolls Over LSU

Memphis grabbed a 3-0 lead after one – it was just the third time Houston had been blanked in a quarter this season, and first time outside of a fourth quarter blowout – and pushed the lead to 20-0 with a pair of Paxton Lynch touchdown passes when Herman replaced a gimpy, ineffective Greg Ward, Jr., with the little-used Postma on the Cougars’ final drive before the half.

Collins, who lost a fumble on the Razorbacks’ first series of the game, eclipsed 100 yards on his seventh carry of the game, which he took straight up the middle for an 80-yard TD on the second play of the second quarter to put the Razorbacks up 14-0 and leave the home crowd in a stunned silence.

“On offense, we have to be better”, LSU coach Les Miles said after back-to-back losses by double digits for the first time in his LSU career. “And we couldn’t run the football. So to me, offensively, we have to have a better plan”.

“Everybody is disappointed”, Fournette said.

Fournette announced he would auction off his jersey in an ESPN interview after the SC game in Tiger Stadium on October 10 because he felt the people of SC were going through the same hardships he did as a 10-year-old in the aftermath of Katrina when he and his family lived for almost a week on the North Claiborne Avenue bridge near the Superdome.

Same goes for the offensive line, Alexander said. “We just didn’t come out on top”.

The LSU Tigers host the Arkansas Razorbacks in one of the SEC college football games on Saturday, November 14 start time at 7:15 PM ET, at Tiger Stadium. Quarterback Brandon Harris scrambled out to his right, deep in their own territory, where he would fumble after being sacked by Arkansas linebacker Dre Greenlaw. He added a 5-yard touchdown run for the 21-0 lead with 3:55 to go in the second quarter. I know, I know, that sounds like Peter Pan and his imagination, but that brings us the all to real scenario of: An Egg Bowl SEC West Championship. “It was a really hard for me, because I don’t like being like that”. Players did the things we asked them to do. And if it doesn’t get better very soon, Miles will be looking for a new offensive planner to give his talented players the right stuff.

Everyone wanted to talk about Tiger running back Leonard Fournette but it was Alex Collins who stole the show in the first half. After a 11-yard run by running back Kody Walker, wide receiver Jared Cornelius would run for a 69-yard touchdown on a end-around to give the Razorbacks a 31-14 lead.

Arkansas seized the early momentum when Reed took a short curl, broke outside, stiff-armed Dwayne Thomas to the grass and raced 52 yards for a touchdown on the Hogs’ second possession.

His 2015 Tigers have much to play for, Miles said.

“I can guarantee it won’t be the same deal this year”, White said. “I think we’re closer in special teams”. “A lot of adversity is going to come our way, but it’s about how we respond, how we take it, how many times can we get up”. If there are a few mistakes being made, and a few issue need correcting, which certainly it does, that has to happen before this team gets back on track offensively. Dupre led LSU in receiving with eight catches for 109 yards and the touchdown.

Arkansas disrupted Harris from the outset and finished with a season-high five sacks. “But it’s got to be something that I’m not getting done”. “I didn’t expect the problems with protection that we got. We’ll have to look at it”.

“The defense played great”, Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen said.

Fournette finished with 19 carries for 91 yards and did not carry the ball in the final 10 minutes. LSU barely got the snap off before that game ended.

Only once has an LSU team allowed at least 549 rushing yards in back-to-back games since the 1994 season.

The junior entered last Saturday leading the Southeastern Conference in passing average (322.4 yards) and total offense (349.6 yards), both figures about 40 yards better than the runner-up.
