LSU TIGERS VS ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS GAME REACTION | How LSU took down Arkansas in 34-31 shootout
The Golden Boot will stay in Baton Rouge after the LSU Tigers defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 34-31 in Tiger Stadium with a last minute field goal. It wasn't the prettiest win for the Tigers, entering the matchup with the Hogs as 17 point favorites, but a win is a win and LSU is now 2-0 in SEC play.
The Tigers came out slow, sluggish, and without many answers for Arkansas' defense as Jayden Daniels was limited with what he could do in both the run and pass games. LSU went three-and-out in their first possession and didn't get points on the board until a field goal late in the second quarter. Arkansas, however, looked great offensively. LSU's secondary struggled to keep up with the Razorbacks WRs but the Tigers defensive front held the Hogs to two field goals on two trips to the red zone. LSU's offense got some much needed momentum late in the first half when Jayden Daniels found Brian Thomas in the end zone for a 49 yard touchdown to cut Arkansas' lead to 13-10 going into halftime.
LSU came out firing in the second half. The Tigers scored on all four of their possessions in the second half, getting into the end zone three times and a field goal to win the game. The issue, however, is that Arkansas answered LSU's explosive offensive plays with explosive scoring plays of their own. It was a shootout between veterans Jayden Daniels and KJ Jefferson, but ultimately LSU scored last with a 20 yard field goal. Arkansas got the ball with only five seconds remaining, a strategic move by Brian Kelly to use his teams remaining two timeouts to run the clock out.
It was not pretty at all times but ultimately the Tigers did what they needed to do to get a win. LSU takes on Ole Miss in Oxford next weekend.
