FAYETTEVILLE — The Boot is going back to the bayou.
Jay Ward blocked what would have been a game-tying field goal with 1:24 left and LSU edged Arkansas 27-24 on Saturday at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
The Tigers (3-3) had not played in three weeks due to covid-19 concerns and a bye, but escaped with their fifth straight win in the series.
“Tremendous win for our football team,” LSU coach Ed Orgeron said. “I give the players credit. At the beginning of the week, we had some phenomenal practices, great leadership. Give coaches the credit. A tremendous job of coaching the whole week.
