LSU Holds Off Arkansas As Tigers Get 10th Win Of Season, 20-13 Zach Mettenberger threw for 217 yards and a touchdown and the LSU defense halted a late fourth quarter Arkansas drive as the Tigers won in their first trip to Fayetteville since 1992, 20-13. With LSU leading 20-13 late in the fourth quarter following a Drew Alleman field goal, Arkansas had its potential game-tying drive halted at the Tiger 18-yard line when Tyler Wilson’s pass went incomplete in the endzone as time expired. Arkansas had turnovers on consecutive plays in the first quarter, the first coming at the LSU 2-yard line that cost the Razorbacks points. The second resulted in a 49-yard field goal by Alleman, giving the Tigers a 3-0 lead at the 4:45 mark in the opening quarter. LSU stretched the lead to 10-0 on a 22-yard highlight-reel one-handed catch by Jarvis Landry. The Razorbacks cut the lead to 10-3 on their first possession of the third quarter before an 86-yard return on the ensuing kickoff by LSU’s Michael Ford setup the Tigers’ next touchdown. Jeremy Hill scored on a 1-yard run just three plays later to extend the lead to 17-3 with 9:03 left in the third quarter. The Razorbacks responded with a touchdown on their next possession, pulling to within 17-10 late in the third quarter. Arkansas forced LSU to punt on its next possession as the Hogs drove to the Tiger 1-yard line before settling for a 17-yard field goal to get to within 17-13 with 12:17 left in the game. The teams traded scoreless possessions for the next seven minutes before Alleman’s 27-yard field goal extended the LSU lead to 20-13 setting up one final attempt to tie the game for Arkansas. Mettenberger connected on 16-of-29 passes and went without an interception for the fourth time in five games. Hill rushed for 77 yards and a TD, while Landry caught 8 passes for 75 yards and a score. Lamin Barrow led the LSU defense with 12 tackles, while Kevin Minter added 10 tackles.
