When LSU hosts Arkansas on Friday they will need to respect Razorback QB Tyler Wilson and the Hogs explosive passing game. The leading receiver for the Hogs is Jarius Wright who has 61 catches for 1,002 yards and 10 touchdowns but is just a piece of a dangerous group of razorback recievers. The LSU secondary will be tested possibly more this game than any so far this season. Tyler Wilson has a 63.1 completion ratio and a 21-5 touchdown to interception ratio. Arkansas will get their yards through the air but they will be severely limited in the running game and I suspect that those yards will come between the 20’s. If the LSU defense can prevent big plays and make the Hogs drive the field to score I love the Tiger’s chances. The LSU offense should not have trouble moving the ball consistently against the 67th ranked rushing defense. Yes Arkansas has given LSU alot of trouble in the past few years and history says this game will be tight throughout. I think the Hogs could possibly make things tough for the Tigers for about a half. In the second half the Tigers roll!
