Arkansas 17, No. 20 LSU 0: The
Razorbacks' defense stepped up big, holding the visiting Tigers to 123 yards of total offense to snap a 17-game conference losing
streak.
Brandon Allen was 16-of-27 for
169 yards for Arkansas (5-5, 1-5 SEC), which won in league play for
the first time since a 49-7 victory over Kentucky on Oct. 13, 2012. Jonathan Williams rushed for 55
yards and a touchdown while Alex Collins had 46 yards and a score.
Anthony Jennings passed for 87
yards for LSU (7-4, 3-4), which rushed for just 36 yards, averaging
1.1 yards per attempt. Travin Dural had five receptions for 46 yards
for the Tigers.
The Razorbacks capped an 11-play, 60-yard drive to start the game with Adam McFain's 32-yard field goal. Williams got into
the end zone on a 1-yard run midway through the second quarter to
push the Arkansas lead to 10 at halftime.
It remained that way through the
third quarter and early into the fourth when Collins took it in from
5 yards out, capping a drive of 12 plays that lasted 6:16. LSU looked like it might score on
the ensuing drive, getting inside the Razorbacks' 30, but Jennings
fumbled and Arkansas recovered, ending the Tigers' last real scoring
threat.
GAME NOTEBOOK: LSU was shut out
for the first time since losing the BCS National Championship game to
Alabama in January 2012. … Arkansas S Rohan Gaines was ejected in
the third quarter for targeting because of a hit on LSU TE DeSean
Smith on an incomplete pass. … This was only the second time under
Les Miles that the Tigers have lost two straight, with the first time
coming in 2008 with the second loss also coming against the
Razorbacks.
