Last season, LSU played Arkansas the week following an Alabama loss, and was trounced 31-14 at home. In 2014, LSU went into the Alabama Game 7-2, and ended the season 1-3 following an OT loss to Alabama. One of those 3 losses came at the hands of Arkansas in Fayetteville in the week that followed. This season, we are trying to break this curse, and avoid the Alabama Hangover.
LSU and Arkansas currently sit in the middle of the SEC West Standings; at 5-3 (3-2) and 6-3 (2-3) respectively. Both LSU and Arkansas have an identical 5-1 home record, but only Arkansas has a victory in their win column for their road record.
