5 Predictions For The LSU-Arkansas Game
By Scotty Nola
LSU Will Not Be Run On Two Weeks In A Row

Arkansas is built to run the football. Head Coach Bret Bielema ran a run heavy attack at Wisconsin and he has built the Razorbacks around the run game.
The Arkansas attack features massive linemen paving the way for star RB Alex Collins, who has over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns this season.
Last week LSU held up well against Alabama in the first half but in the second half the floodgates opened. Derrick Henry was able to take over that game and run on the Tigers virtually at will down the stretch.
Don’t count on LSU letting this happen again. The Tigers defenders know their pride is on the line and you can expect them to come out swinging against Arkansas.
Arkansas is averaging nearly 200 yards a game on the ground. Expect LSU to hold them well below their season average as the Tigers seek to get their College Football Playoff hunt back on track.
