Arkansas 27 LSU 26 - Ark is just 5-10 SU in the series but has two straight outright upsets beating #1 LSU
50-48 in 3 OT’s here in ‘07 and LY trailed 30-14 at home but got a 24 yd TD pass with :21 left to win 31-30
(+4’). LSU QB Jefferson (179 ypg, 61.5%, 14-5 ratio) made his fi rst career start LY vs Ark. LSU is off a 25-23
loss to Ole Miss where they were outgained 426-290. LSU was held to 40 rush yds (1.5) but was down to
their 3rd string RB with Scott (542, 4.7) and Williams (368, 5.3) inj’d. Scott is out for this, (CS on Williams).
LSU had a chance to kick a gm winning FG at the end but mismanged the clock and ran out of time. Ark is
off a 42-21 win over Miss St but only had a 396-376 yd edge. QB Mallett became the fi rst 3,000 yd passer in
school history (avg 291 ypg, 59%, 28-6 ratio). Ark is 11-6 ATS as an AD and the visitor is 6-3 ATS. LSU is 8-2
SU but 3-7 ATS since ‘99 in home fi nales. LSU has a large edge on def (13-52) and spec tms (16-62) but Arkansas has a large edge on off (6-60). LSU is #24 in our pass D rankings allowing 189 pass ypg (55%) with a 10-12
ratio but now face the SEC’s top passing tm. LSU has been outgained on the yr by an avg of 308-322 but has
8 wins while Ark has outgained opp’s by an avg of 445-409 but only has 7 wins. The Tigers have won 35 of
36 Sat night gms at home (only loss TY to FL), but this one will probably come down to the wire.
