FAYETTEVILLE — Any doubt about the importance of No. 7 LSU’s 24-17 win over Arkansas was settled right before Tigers coach Ed Orgeron came into his press conference in the room adjacent to the visitor's locker room.
Orgeron used some colorful language to tell his team how happy he was that it bounced back from last week’s 29-0 home loss to No. 1 Alabama.
He also made that point with the media after a game in which LSU held Arkansas to 61 yards total offense in the first half and a season-low 216 yards overall before an announced crowd of 48,950 at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
