LSU
Outscored opponents 417-110 (307)
Offense avgs 37.91 pts/gm
Defense allows 10 pts/gm

ARK
Outscored opponents 432-232 (200)
Given up 114 pts through first 5 games
Offense avgs 39.27 pts/gm
Defense allows 21.09 pts/gm

Common Opponents (BAMA,TN,AUB,OlePiss,MooState)
LSU 163-32 (131)
Ark 175-100 (75)
LSU outscored the "best offense in the SEC" by 56 pts through common opponents.

While we rely on the run to open up the passing game, the Hogs rely on the pass to open up the running game. I really like our defense in this scenario. There is no doubt they will put up some passing yards and will score, but I don't see them scoring more than 21, if that. Our ability to run the ball is the kicker here.
Bama held ARK to 17 yds rushing while gaining 197 yds on the ground.
LSU held Bama to 96 yds on the ground while gaining 148.
Auburn rushed for 291 yds against them to 87 vs. us.
Ole Miss threw for 219 yds against them to 47 vs. us. (I know we didn't face their star quarterback)
TN threw for 238 yds vs. 128 against us.

There is no doubt they have a much better passing attack which in certain games has allowed them to have some success with the run. We should have little difficulty playing our physical style of offense... moving the ball on the ground which opens the passing game if needed, playing field position, and most importantly lights out defense. We finish regular season play 12-0

good read,,

I seriously have found myself in the minority, everytime I say I think LSU wins by 14+, LSU and Arky fans alike seems to think its going to be a lot closer. I'm not buying it. I dont care how good Arkys Offense is supposed to be, we showed against Oregon we can shut down high-powered offenses. They have no run defense, their D line will be gassed by halftime. Their Qb will not be able to sit in the pocket and make 3rd and 4th reads. LSU wins convincingly..
