LSU Tigers vs. Arkansas Razorbacks: Game Time, Channel and Game Information
Brian Kelly and the No. 8 ranked LSU Tigers are trending in the right direction after a critical Week 7 victory over Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss Rebels.
Now, it’s about going back to thr drawing board and preparing for another SEC matchup against a fiery Arkansas Razorbacks squad on Saturday.
Sam Pittman’s program has proven to hang with the best of them after taking down a Top-5 foe in the Tennessee Volunteers, which makes the Week 7 clash that much more enticing.
For LSU, signal-caller Garrett Nussmeier is clicking on all cylinders after a gutsy, clutch performance in the fourth quarter against the Rebels in Week 7.
“I would say that he is unique. Garrett’s in that first year starting but has the ability to have an awareness that ‘I’ve gotta find a way to get through this.’ On the sideline, he is talkative, he is always looking for solutions,” Kelly said. “What can we do here with the coverages I’m seeing? He’ll say I like this play, can we come back to this? I just think he’s always engaged looking for answers and that’s what makes him unique. Regardless of what has happened prior to, he’s looking for success later in the game. Some of the plays that were called later were ones he really likes.”
Nussmeier connected with wide receiver Aaron Anderson in the end-zone on a fourth down conversion to send Saturday night’s thriller to overtime. From there, it was all LSU, with Kelly praising his quarterback’s ability to keep eyes down the field to make a play.
“He had other options there and many of the offensive structures as you can imagine, he’s going to have an opportunity to get the ball out quickly. He was working through the third piece of the progression. It’s Anderson coming all the way across from the backside hash and just anticipated where he was gonna be and threw the ball where he was gonna be. That’s just trusting your teaching, trusting you know that guy’s gonna be there. He’s thrown that ball so many times that you just let it go. He threw him open and that’s a confidence level that he had in the route.”
Now, after coming back down to Earth following an emotional victory, it’s all focus shifting towards a date in Fayetteville against the Arkansas Razorbacks this weekend.

What Kim Caldwell Said After Mississippi State
“Good to get a win on the road. We know it’s a tough environment and we know that we got to win on the road in the SEC. It was good to do that. I wasn’t really proud of the rebounding, but I thought we looked a lot better in a couple different categories so that was good.”

Prediction
It’s been a rough start for Arkansas’ new coach, Kelsi Musick. The team is 0-3 in SEC games, and though it’s been against three good teams, the Razorbacks haven’t been competitive in any.
While neither side has been strong, Arkansas’ defense has been the weakest point. Not only is it coming off a game in which it gave up 93 points to South Carolina, but Arkansas State hung 81 in its win over the Razorbacks on the road.
If the Lady Vols don’t get in their own way, then they should be fine. It hasn’t been perfect, and against three teams not necessarily in the mix to win the league, but Tennessee has looked much improved in the SEC slate compared to the lumps it took in the out-of-conference schedule.
I’d think UT jumps on Arkansas in the first quarter and takes a comfortable lead into the second quarter. From there, the lead should continue to grow behind forced turnovers in the press and easy baskets on the other end.
Lady Vols 85, Arkansas 61
