LSU vs. Arkansas: What we learned from Razorbacks’ 31-14 over Tigers
“It’s something I’m not getting done”.
The 9th-ranked LSU Tigers fell at home in SEC action on Saturday night, dropping a 31-14 decision to the Arkansas Razorbacks at Tigers Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.
So does Arkansas, on a three-game roll, just a win away with three to play for bowl eligibility.
“This was not fun”, Fournette said. “They played it really well offensively and defensively”.
The Hogs took an early 14-0 lead to shock the Death Valley crowd and never looked back, cruising to a 31-14 win that knocks LSU from the ranks of one-loss teams and out of the top-10 of the CFP Rankings.
His passing – particularly to tight end Hunter Henry – will be a major concern for an LSU defense that has been decent against the pass, but rarely dominant.
“Coach Miles is like something good and two after a loss,”Pittman said”. While Arkansas is riding high off of an insane upset victory over the Ole Miss Rebels, LSU is reeling from a brutal loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
LSU pulled within 21-14 early in the third quarter on Fournette’s 1-yard touchdown run, but the Razorbacks added a 25-yard field goal by Cole Hedlund later in the quarter to push the lead back out to double-digits. So is Fournette’s 91 yards on 19 carries.
The Tigers raced out of halftime with help from their Heisman hopeful, scoring on an eight-play, 67-yard drive to make it 21-14 and igniting a quiet venue. For the second straight week, LSU’s Leonard Fournette was upstaged by another running back. They did, and the running back stormed in with 11:10 left in the third quarter.
It was the last score. LSU’s next matchup is a rivalry showdown with Arkansas, and the Razorbacks climbed over the. Tretola declined LSU players’ request for him to stop.
While Arkansas isn’t ranked, they’re on the verge of being bowl bound, thanks to a stunning run of offensive outbursts.
Dwayne Thomas missed the tackle on Reed’s catch-and-run. “I know where we’re going”.

Postma, a sophomore that entered the night with six attempts on the entire season, completed 21-of-33 passes for 236 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for a team-leading 49 yards and a touchdown.
The Tigers didn’t score until the final 24 seconds of the first half on a deflection in the endzone, which Malachi Dupre was able to come up with.
LSU had just 18 yards of offense on those first five drives before that march to end the half – a sour start for a sour end. Their cheers echoed through an empty Tiger Stadium.
“We’re sore losers”, Mills said. “We don’t come here to lose”.
