Prediction
LSU 21
Hogs 24
This game comes down to who wants it the most. Both teams are trying to earn their way into a BCS game. LSU must win this to better their chances and Arkansas must win to finalize a BCS game most likely.
LSU in their last two games have gave up a ton of yards to Bama and Ole Piss and it appears their defense is struggling after a season of being one of the best defenses in the country.
Arkansas has looked good on their 10 game win streak until they played their worst game of the year @ Misstake putting up 260 yards up total offense and only 120 on the ground, which is half of their season average.
Key to the Game If the Hogs run wild the game will be over before it starts. Controlling the line of scrimmage and not turning the ball over is what decides a football game and Arkansas does that well.
LSU has to open up the offense on the Hogs beat up secondary that has been playing above average lately returning two INTs for 150 yards, one for a score on Misstake. If Russ can fling the ball down the field, they have a great shot to win. As long as their D is performing like they used to.
In the end I think DMac is being quiet and is not doing many press related things because this is a personal game for him after last years tough loss. I think he will get his average of 118 yards on the ground in a late 4th quarter run of 30 yards.
