Like most LSU-Arkansas games, it was an ugly affair. LSU slowly trudged out of the gate, never quite seeming to find their rhythm. Arkansas, on the other hand, was even worse. The Hogs punted on the first six drives, only breaking the streak by ending a drive with a turnover.
LSU found that rhythm by going back to their truest selves: by running the ball over and over again. With 12:48 left in the second quarter, the LSU offense took over possession at its own 23 and proceeded to hammer the same nail repeatedly.
LSU would travel 77 yards over 14 plays, 12 of them runs, eating up 7:24 of clock.
