So the big match up in college football this week will take place with #1 LSU vs, #3 Arkansas. This game is mostly for everything. The SEC title game and a chance at the National Title game. These two teams have played many times and have had some classic games between each other. I am going to give you five things that you may know but you also may not.
They have played 56 times.
LSU and Arkansas both first played in 1901. They have played each other 56 times with LSU holding a 34-20-2 record over Arkansas.
Not so long ago !
Arkansas last played a LSU team ranked #1 in 2007, in Baton Rouge , Arkansas was able to pull the upset in that game winning 50-48
Something new for both teams
This is the first ever match up between the two teams where both teams are ranked in the top 5. It’s also the first time both teams have been ranked in back to back seasons against each other.
Young quarterback
Sure , Tyler Wilson is the SEC number one quarterback. However, I am betting that some of you didn’t know that he has never played against LSU. This could be huge for LSU strong defense.
Both Teams should have lost to Alabama not just one
Arkansas played Alabama and got steam rolled in the game. Alabama missed three field goals against LSU which surely would have won them the game.
So in closing , I feel that LSU will win this game because there defense has the edge over Tyler Wilson. The only way Arkansas can win is if Tyler learned a lot when he played Alabama.
