Arkansas Hosts No. 8 LSU in Primetime

The Arkansas Razorbacks (4-2, 2-1 SEC) are set to host the No. 8 LSU Tigers (5-1, 2-0 SEC) in a primetime matchup following a bye week, aiming to build on their recent success, including a stunning victory over No. 4 Tennessee. Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green is expected to play after recovering from injury, while LSU's Garrett Nussmeier, despite a recent underwhelming performance, continues to lead a pass-heavy offense. The Razorbacks have a solid rushing game, ranked 25th in EPA per rush, which could exploit LSU’s defensive weaknesses, particularly in run defense. Both teams are dealing with player injuries, with Arkansas hoping to recover offensive lineman Patrick Kutas and LSU potentially getting back key receivers Chris Hilton and CJ Daniels. The game is significant not only for rankings but also for the historic rivalry, where LSU leads the overall series 44-23-2. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at 6 p.m. CT at Razorback Stadium.
