FAYETTEVILLE — Saturday night was a stark reminder that games aren’t played on paper. Otherwise, the Arkansas vs LSU matchup would have gone much differently.
Statistically speaking, the Razorbacks should have been able to run the ball — and stop the run — against the Tigers at Razorback Stadium. The opposite happened, as No. 8 LSU cruised to a 34-10 win that brought Arkansas back down to earth after its win over No. 4 Tennessee two weeks earlier.
Despite having an extra week to get healthy and prepare, not to mention the support of their largest home crowd in 14 years, the Razorbacks got whipped on both sides of the ball in the run game.
