Points For:
LSU 38
Arky 39

Points Against:
LSU 10
Arky 21

When compared to what their respective opponents average (which goes to strength of schedule):

Offense:
LSU +13
Arky +11

Defense:
LSU +16
Arky +3

These comparisons mean that LSU scores 13 pts above what their opponents give up and holds their opponents 16 pts below theirs.

SEC Games:

LSU O = 34.1 pt/gm
Arky O = 35.5 pt/gm

Overall wash.

LSU D = 7.1 pt/gm
Arky D = 22.3 pt/gm

3:1 advantage for LSU

Common opponents: Bama, AU, OM, TN & MS St

LSU O = 163 points, 32.6 / game
Arky O = 174 points, 34.8 / game

Again - wash

LSU D = 26 points, 5.2/game
Arky D = 100 points, 20.0/game


Advantage LSU 4:1 ratio


This game, to me, is the classic cliche of 'Defense wins Championships'. If the averages hold true the game would end up ~ 21-6/7. The spread is 13.5. Seems about right to me.

So 34-23? That sounds about right.

Never seen that comparitive stat to what opponents usually average. Good stuff.

I'll add the turnover margins as well to consider:

LSU +18
Arkansas +1

Arkansas better bring their best game of the year or this is a comfortable game for the Tigers.
