Key Performances and Game Highlights


Arkansas's quarterback Taylen Green completed 21 out of 31 attempts for a total of 239 yards passing, including one touchdown pass but also threw an interception. His longest completion was for 25 yards which also resulted in the only touchdown pass for the team. On the ground, Ja'Quinden Jackson led with 26 rushing yards from five attempts, showcasing his agility and speed despite limited opportunities.


The receiving corps saw significant contributions from Andrew Armstrong who caught seven passes for a total of 94 yards and scored one touchdown. His performance stood out as he consistently provided options downfield and capitalized on his opportunities to advance the ball.


On special teams, Matthew Shipley made one field goal from two attempts with his longest being a notable 51-yard kick contributing three points to Arkansas's total score.


Defensive Efforts


Defensively, Arkansas struggled to contain LSU's offense but saw individual efforts worth noting. Xavian Sorey Jr., contributed nine combined tackles leading the defensive effort with support from Doneiko Slaughter who added nine combined tackles as well. However, despite these efforts on defense and special teams by players like Devin Bale who had punts totaling 152 yards including one inside-the-20-yard line punt showing precision in pinning opponents back - it wasn't enough to secure victory over LSU.


Looking Ahead


The Arkansas Razorbacks are set to face Mississippi State Bulldogs at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field in Starkville on October 26th at 12:45 PM EDT. Fans can catch this upcoming game live on SEC Network (satellite channel:611), where Arkansas will look forward to bouncing back strong against their next opponent.
