Battle for the Golden Boot: LSU (2-3) vs Arkansas (3-4) (12PM ET, SECN)

[TrueOrange]

Raise your hand if before the season began, you thought the most that would be on the line in this game would be to determine the order of the 4 bottom teams in the SEC West?

(Now put your hand down, because no, you didn't.)

It's currently 24-20 Arkansas with 10:25 left in the game. LSU has the ball but the drive might have stalled at midfield.

If the score holds, it would be Arkansas's first win in the series since 2015 (LSU has won the last 4 straight games in the rivalry and 7 of the last 9 meetings).

That targeting call was GARBAGE.

How was that not an LSU touchdown?

Really questionable play calling by Briles on the last 2-3 Arkansas possessions.

Final score 27-24 LSU, as the Tigers pull off a TD with about 4 minutes left and holds on to win the game. LSU has now won the last 5 straight games against Arkansas and 8 of the last 10.

The NCAA needs to change the rules on targeting. It should only be applied if the player being hit is knocked out of the game too. Arkansas stopped LSU but thanks to targeting being called, LSU finished a drive that should have been over.
