LSU Tigers

LSU 38 – Arkansas 10

The Tigers needed this victory. LSU experienced a heartbreaking 10-0 defeat last week, and could have easily showed up sloppy this week. Instead, though, the Tigers showed up and rushed their way to a huge victory in a rivalry game.

The LSU defense showed up as well, holding the Razorbacks to just 10 points.

Impact Moving Forward

-Huge momentum gain

No, the Tigers are not playing for an SEC Football Championship appearance. The season isn’t lost, however. Florida and Texas A&M make up the end of the schedule. Victories against each would put LSU at 8 wins (one game was canceled) and in prime position to appear in a New Year’s Six game.

No, this wasn’t the goal for LSU entering the 2016 SEC football season. It also is a huge improvement to where LSU was sitting after the opening month and fired Miles. That isn’t all the Tigers are playing for, however.

If Miles can win both of these games, Orgeron is likely the coach of the Tigers in 2016. If not, Orgeron is back to sipping Red Bull on the Bayou.
