LSU improved to 8-2 on year with a seven-point win over the Arkansas on a cold, ugly night in Fayetteville where the offense failed to put away the Razorbacks until the very end.
It was a survive-and-advance situation, recovering from the hangover of the Alabama loss and getting past a desperate team in a rivalry situation. Most expected something ugly, and in that regard, it didn’t disappoint. And of course, a few of the requisite weird LSU-Arkansas moments.
The 8-2 start is LSU’s best record at this point in the season since 2012, and at 5-2 in conference play, the Tigers are assured of a winning record in conference play for the second year in a row.
