3. The Tigers defense is stronger than the Razorbacks

As far as the SEC goes, LSU is ranked third in total tackles and is home to the SEC’s leading tackler in Devin White. Meanwhile, Arkansas is 12th out of 14 on that list. The Razorbacks are giving up over 420 yards a game, mostly because their offense can’t seem to stay on the field long enough for sustained resting time.

Don’t look for that to get any better on Saturday morning as the likes of Devin White, Arden Key and company are let loose against whichever quarterback lines up under center. Listen to Devin White in the interview below, the Tigers have a defensive rotation established that is helping the be way more successful than they were at the start of the season.

The LSU defense will be huge in this game and will likely be highlighted as the MVPs of the match up overall. This team has the ability to be special and it starts with the talented defensive front we have seen in the past weeks.
