Back to the regularly scheduled tough SEC schedule, LSU will await the newly-bowl eligible Razorbacks following their bye week. Arkansas may spend the bye week celebrating their postseason berth, but Chad Morris will put them to work to prepare for a tough LSU team.

The Tigers won’t be so easy on the Razorbacks. Despite being a top-tier team in the conference, this could actually be a huge game for LSU which could decide their bowl fate. The Tigers’ schedule is extremely difficult and they could be sitting at 5-4 heading into this game, desperately needing a win against the Razorbacks, and they’ll get just that.

LSU’s defense will shut down Cole Kelley and Devwah Whaley, making this a one-sided affair, although the Tigers’ offense won’t be putting points on the board as quickly and easily as Auburn or Alabama did.

Look at this one as a learning experience for the young Razorbacks and a game that could help them progress in the final two weeks of the season. They’ll keep it close, but ultimately, LSU has too much talent and will get the road win.

Final Score: LSU 24, Arkansas 13 (6-4, 2-4 SEC)
