After a loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide in last week’s game, the LSU Tigers were on a mission to prove themselves once again as they traveled to Fayetteville to take on Arkansas. The program had lost the rivalry matchup two years in a row, and Ed Orgeron’s team was looking to prevent a three-game losing streak and bring the Boot back to Baton Rouge.
They did just that, as the Tigers dismantled the Hogs by a final score of 38-10. In recent years, LSU had been struggling as a result of the “Alabama Hangover.” The team seemed to always play like one of the best in all of football, but after losing to the Crimson Tide, they’d pack it up and put minimal effort into the rest of the season.
