I do believe that ArKansas is going to score some points big time in this game against LSU. Petrino knows how to score points.

Unless LSU keeps Wilson on his backside all day, ArKansas will win, I do believe.

I think that Arkansas will score at least 24 points, but they will not be able to stop LSU.

LSU - 42
Arkansas - 27

LSU secondary will face the best WR corps in Arky. Hogs have a new weapon in TE Gragg. the young man is good in space with good hands and size. he will have to be accounted for. Petrino will make good use of him. Hogs front 4 is back and all healthy. Bequette will be a factor.
if the Arkansas OLine holds up for Wilson, they will score. we saw what happen with West Virginia.

if Arky doesn't turn the ball over, LSU will have to earn every point (i.e. Bama).

LSU does want to do a shootout with Ark. no prediction from me, but Hogs have beaten the bengal tigers 3 of 4. that has to mean something.

I believe us and LSU are really that even, that and I don't believe Arky can score much on LSU, their D is as good as ours except better suited towards the pass IMO.

This has been an interesting series with Arky having LSU's number in recent years...and I'm not sure I'm ready to pick this one yet.

I think the pressure is all on LSU in this one, its a home game and they're playing a hungry, top-ranked Arky team breathing down their necks, ready to grab their spot and make a case for themselves in the BCS. They definitely have the offense to do it and I think LSU's defense will have a fight on their hands.

I think it will be a close game, but higher scoring than some think. I think I'll wait on making a prediction though.

I know that LSU is the heavy favorite, but some of y'all who are predicting LSU to blow out Ark are selling the Hogs a little short. they have improved on Defense, their front 4 is all back and healthy.

you may not want to hear this nor some may not know this tidbit , but Hogs have done a better job of finding ways in defeating LSU (3 of 4 meetings) than Bama has under Saban...that is a fact.

Arkansas is not auburn, Miss St. , and they sure ain't Ole Sis.

I think one thing people are overlooking is that Arkansas's last 3 games have been at home. This one is on the road where, even including the A&M neutral site game they won, Arkansas has a negative 12 point scoring differential. Their biggest road win is 5 points over Ole Miss(who LSU just annihilated at their place). They've scored at least 38 in every home game this year, so i'm not really sure there little hot streak is more than having 3 straight home games.

I think Death Valley makes all the difference. Not saying LSU covers the 14 points spread, but I do believe they win, because Arkansas isn't really a good road team with all the slow starts. The third quarter has been LSU's best this year, and if they do have a slow start against LSU, it could get ugly. Not sure I see it getting ugly, but it's possible.

It is amazing that despite the great defenses LSU has had on a yearly basis, they still give up around 35 ppg against the Arkansas Razorbacks offense(average of the past 4 games). For some reason Miles defense' krytonite is Petrino's offense for some reason.

So based on yearly averages:

Arky: 35
LSU: 33

LSU only scored 30-something against Tennessee. They won't score that much against Arkansas. Arky's defense is vastly improved. They had a performance similar to UA and LSU against Tennessee and if not for the TD with 15 seconds left they hold Mississippi to 10 points. They've been scoring a lot more than Bama and LSU, and their defense has improved a lot. Their OL isn't great but has gotten better, and their running game has made huge strides. LSU will not face the same Arkansas team we did. And in case yall haven't noticed yet our pass rush is much, much better than LSU's.

Arkansas hasn't been nearly as talented as LSU but has beaten them 3 out of the last 4 times. This is just Petrino's game.

One interesting thing to note is that Arkansas hasn't always gotten a lot of yards in their games but always score a lot of points. Arkansas had 185 yards against us but two perfect TD drives. It seems like they're guaranteed a TD for every hundred yards they get, unlike Bama.
