1. Arkansas wins on a late field goal

This isn’s the same LSU team we saw a season ago. The Tigers don’t quite look like the same dominant team with so much turnover and Arkansas is determined to end that four-game losing streak in the series.

Arkansas and LSU will come down to the final minutes in a game tied at 34 and the Razorbacks will have a chance to win it with a field goal.

After a nightmarish start to his career at Duke, hitting just 3-of-10 field goals as a freshman in 2016, AJ Reed bounced back in 2019 after winning the starting job, hitting 15-of-18 and all of his 34 extra point attempts. He decided to transfer to Arkansas which needed a kicker.

Reed is just 6-for-9 so far on the season which isn’t ideal, but he’s going to drill the biggest kick of his career with about a minute left, giving the Razorbacks a three-point lead.

Arkansas’ field goal will be enough to lead the Razorbacks past the defending champs.
