LSU scores on first possession, scores 21 in first half

No. 24 LSU bounced back from its loss to Alabama with a 38-10 victory against No. 25 Arkansas to win the Battle for the Boot. The loss spoiled Senior Night for 20 Razorbacks.

So purely coming off last season, Fort Wayne is a bigger name than Arkansas given that Anderson’s Razorbacks come off a 16-16 season with no postseason beyond one and done in the SEC Tournament. “We can’t be like, ‘If we don’t get these things fixed, we’re doomed.’ At the same time, the brightest lights reveal the biggest weaknesses”. It’s definitely more interesting when the game has major implications, but there’s definitely some disdain for Arkansas, especially for those of us near the top of the state.

Junior left tackle K.J. Malone turned the page after assessing LSU’s performance against Alabama with roommate and senior center Ethan Pocic, immediately moving on to Arkansas film. KEY PLAYS: Fournette 7-yard run on third-and-1 at the LSU 34 extends drive. Additionally, the Razorbacks are giving up 6.1 yards per rush and have allowed the most rushing touchdowns (24) of any SEC team.

There are a lot of folks who will work hard to convince you that there are myriad secrets to successful offense in football. Fournette scored on a 3-yard run. After one quarter, the Tigers led by a touchdown. The Tigers passed the test against Southern Miss, Missouri and Ole Miss but couldn’t get the aerial attack going against Alabama. Guice had a long run to spark the drive, and Fournette capped it off with his third touchdown to put the Tigers up 28-10. That trimmed the lead to 21-7 going into halftime. That drive stalled with Arkansas settling for a field goal. LSU ball-carriers are averaging 6.20 yards per carry this season, fourth-best in the nation. Meanwhile, LSU’s Kendell Beckwith is the second-leading tackler in the conference, showing just how strong the LSU defense is.

Offensively, the guys Tiger Fans should play close attention to are Austin Allen (QB) and Rawleigh Williams (RB). “I’m kind of sick to my stomach”.

“I really feel with the Evans kid back that they will push the basketball”, Anderson said. However, Alabama was able to limit Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs to 92 yards passing and -31 yards on the ground. Allen did throw two interceptions. Freshman running back Devwah Whaley fumbled into the end zone on the next snap. Austin Allen will have to play better than he did against Bama’ but the defense could be the real hero in this one. “Obviously, Derrius is a very good running back and we wanted to share the carries”. “It’s a tough one, but their career here is not defined by that”. Saturday’s matchup between Fitzgerald and Hurts features the two highest active players in the SEC in terms of total yards. The Razorbacks are scheduled to play their final two games on the road, beginning next Saturday with a 6 p.m. game at Mississippi State.
