LSU leads the all-time series with Arkansas 43-23-2. The Tigers have won 6 of the last 7.

Last year in Fayetteville, Harold Perkins was LSU’s MVP in a 13-10 win. The linebacker, then a freshman, has 8 tackles, 4 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. Perkins made his biggest play of the game, a strip sack of Arkansas QB Cade Fortin, with 1:17 left.

Arkansas’ 1 win in the series since 2016 came in Baton Rouge. LSU’s 2021 struggles included a 16-13 home loss to Sam Pittman’s team. In a low-scoring, defensive battle, the Hogs emerged victorious 16-13 in overtime. Montaric Brown came up with a key interception of Garrett Nussmeier in the extra period.

Saturday’s showdown between No. 12 LSU and Arkansas is set for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff from Tiger Stadium. The game will air on ESPN.
