Initial Impressions: LSU 27, Arkansas 24

Football used to be a game of field position. Back in the 1950’s it was common for teams to occasionally punt on third down, such was the premium placed on field position. Football was a game based on conquering territory, and making them pay for every yard.

Yeah, not so much anymore.

Arkansas erased a six-point halftime deficit and every single one of its second half drives started inside its own ten yard line. Instead of stalling out, Arkansas instead found its offense and, in particularly, gained 155 yards in the third quarter. LSU dominated the flow of play and spent most of the game with its offense methodically driving down the field, only to stall out over and over again.
