LSU defeats Arkansas 33-30 in OT.

 LSU is thankful for a few things this holiday season.

-Caught Arkansas QB Ryan Mallet had on a bad day

-Trindon Holliday embracing his larger role Saturday

-Josh Jasper

1. Ryan Mallet, believe it or not, led the SEC entering Saturday, in passing yards, pass yards per attempt, and TD passes. Mallet had a 29-7 TD-INT ratio, he also completed 57% of his passes, which is pretty good considering his 9.3 pass yards per attempt. That said, he struggled big time on Saturday going 17-39 with a TD and interception. LSU got decent pressures on Mallet, forcing three sacks, but they didn’t dominate as much as Mallet struggled. He did make a big TD pass on 4th and 9 with 1:25 left in the game to put Arkansas up by three.

-LSU converted 1 of 9 third downs

-Brandon LaFell, Terrence Tolliver and Richard Dickson, combined for seven catches

-Six of LSU’s eight drives were six plays or less

-LSU had the ball for 23 minutes

Florida’s defense also limited LSU’s offense to 3 points. For LSU, that’s the fewest points scored at home since they were shutout by Alabama on November 16th, 2002. LSU’s offensive line couldn’t run or pass block very well vs. Florida, and it made it tough for LSU to do anything. The skill players were non-existent and Jordan Jefferson seemed overwhelmed on each snap from scrimmage.

LSU Tigers Escape Washington With A Win

#11 LSU beat Washington, but how good did they play?

#11 LSU beat Washington, but how well did they play?

I will get this disclaimer out of the way. I consider myself a LSU football fan and have followed them since I was young, and closely since 2003. I will try and write a game recap after each of their games. So here we Geaux…
