LSU 5 Game Winning Streak
LSU is 2-0 in conference play and has only played one road game this season. The Tigers have experienced a mix of close games and some blowout wins. While the LSU offense is above average, the defense is just okay. The most points the Tigers scored in a game this season was 44, and the fewest they allowed was ten.
Recently, the Tigers lost to #18 Ole Miss, 29-26. In that game, scoring surged in the 2nd quarter, followed by a defensive struggle in the 2nd half and overtime. LSU amassed 421 yards of offense, but they turned the ball over twice and performed adequately on 3rd-down defense. The Tigers need to improve both their rushing game and rushing defense.
Arkansas Battled Tested
Arkansas is 3-0 at home, and this will be their 3rd straight game against a ranked team. The defense has been improving, and the games have been quite close for the Razorbacks. While offensive production has dipped slightly, overall, Arkansas is performing solidly on both sides of the ball.
Two weeks ago, the Razorbacks defeated #11 Tennessee 19-14 at home. The Arkansas defense did not allow any points for 3 of the 4 quarters. Down by four points in the 4th quarter, the Razorbacks outscored Tennessee 9-0. Arkansas led in time of possession, did not turn the ball over, and recorded 434 yards of offense. The Razorbacks will look for a strong defensive start against LSU and aim to get their rushing game going.
LSU vs Arkansas Prediction
This is going to be a back-and-forth, close game. Both teams recently played tight contests against ranked opponents. The Razorbacks have had two weeks off, allowing their solid defense to rest. Arkansas just played a clean game of football, controlling the flow, avoiding turnovers, and coming through in clutch moments. While LSU is the better offensive team, Arkansas will be able to slow them down at times.
