LSU coach Brian Kelly referred to the Arkansas Razorbacks this week as a “scary team.” The 12th-ranked Tigers are in fact listed as more than two-touchdown favorites by FanDuel Sportsbook for the Saturday night tilt in Death Valley.
“They were incredible,” Arkansas coach Sam Pittman said of LSU’s most recent performance. “They were just all over the place on defense and then they threw the ball well.
LSU’s Jayden Daniels had 425 yards of total offense last week with two TDs passing and two rushing. It was the second time this season he has eclipsed 400 yards passing and rushing combined in one game — the other being against Florida State. Meanwhile, Arkansas QB KJ Jefferson, who is 6-foot-3 and 247 pounds, has been his team’s third-leading rusher with 80 yards and a touchdown on the ground, even as he also has thrown for 629 yards and six touchdowns.
“You’re going to have some missed assignments in a game — I thought we had more than what we should have — but it’s the penalties that are killing drives and keeping drives alive and things of that nature that we just have to get corrected,” Pittman said.Both teams were hit hard by the news that LSU safety Greg Brooks needed emergency surgery to remove a brain tumor.
