No matter the coach we tend to not take OM and Ark as seriously as we should. THEY ALWAYS play like it's the Super Bowl. Nonetheless, we win more often than not. So at the end of the day your complaint is that there are two SEC west teams whom we always beat but just not by enough for your taste. Cool.

Because LSU typically has a goal of winning the natty. By that time the goal is usually unreachable, so there is not much to play for. LSU's opponent is usually chasing a reachable goal such as a bowl game.

Ole Miss has historically played LSU tough in Tiger Stadium
LSU historically struggles against Arkansas (with the exception of 2011)

Generally, the last home game is one of those two teams.

I have this gut feeling that since LSU and Arkansas isn't the last game of the season, Arkansas won't treat it as their bowl game/Super Bowl and our Tigers might actually not play down to their level.

"We" have a history of playing poorly against those two opponents most years and they somehow get really worked up about that game and play well. Not every season...but it seems like most of time it is a struggle with those two.

you do realize we were tied late in the third quarter? Lack of depth on the d line killed us
