Arkansas 50, LSU 48 (FINAL - 3 OT)

It will be very interesting to see how LSU's defense (Which was gashed for 260 rushing yards last week by an Ole Miss team ranked 97th in total offense) fairs against the double-threat of McFadden and Jones.

I'd say Arkansas in a 31-28 thriller.

While Green-Ellis was alright rushing, it was really Schaeffer that messed up LSU's defense last week, they would have everyone covered and he'd break a 30 yard run here, 20 yard run there. I think Green-Ellis only had around 50 yards, but Schaeffer ended up with 90+, maybe more than a 100. It was around 200 total iirc.

But McFadden and Jones is by far the best rushing attack LSU will play all year. They ran all over us last year, and it will probably be more of the same this year. I say this because LSU's defense has two players, Dorsey and Beckwith, who are both playing hurt and Beckwith might not play at all. We really really need Beckwith, he's a playmaker at LB, and of course Dorsey's value to the team goes without saying. I just hope that Casey Dick sucks as usual (although he was ok last week) and even if McFadden/Jones run all over us, we can score a lot of points on a weak Arkansas defense. Arkansas's secondary especially looks extremely weak to me.

I think it will be yet another down to the wire game, LSU wins 34-31.

Hard to believe the last time these two played, Arkansas was a top-5 team. Even I thought of a potential tOSU-Arkansas BCS title game.

While LSU is my least favorite SEC team, the game is in Death Valley, and they are impossible to beat on their turf.

McFadden will have a good game, but the Hogs have no passing game.

Bayou Bengals win big, IMO.

LSU game has subplots

LSU fans have finally warmed up to Les Miles. Whether they see him coach another game in Tiger Stadium after today remains to be seen.
The game for "the Golden Boot," a trophy shaped like Arkansas and Louisiana, routinely provides a compelling end to the regular season for the Tigers and Razorbacks. But this year's edition carries more subplots than usual.
No. 1 LSU (10-1, 6-1) needs a win to carry national championship hopes into the Southeastern Conference title game Dec. 1 in Atlanta. Arkansas (7-4, 3-4) might be playing for coach Houston Nutt's job.
