Senior quarterback KJ Jefferson has been passing the ball effectively as he is 55-of-77 (71.4 completion percentage) for 629 yards with six touchdowns and one interception while also running 31 times for 80 yards and a rushing touchdown.
The defense has been phenomenal as they are giving up 19 points on 257.3 total yards per game. This Razorbacks' defense has done an amazing job of eliminating the running game for their opponents as they are giving up just 55.7 rushing yards per game up to this point.
The LSU Tigers are on a completely different level with the ball as they are averaging 45.7 points on 537 total yards per game. LSU Tigers quarterback Jayden Daniels is having an outstanding year as he is 70-of-95 (73.7 completion percentage) for 976 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception. He also is the team's leading rusher with 35 carries for 157 yards and two rushing touchdowns till now.
The defense has stepped up since their opening game debacle as they now are averaging 23 points on 337.3 total yards given up. This LSU team does not apply a lot of pressure as they only recorded five sacks in three games and less than a turnover per game so they need to step up in this matchup.
Expect the LSU Tigers to cover the spread inside their own building.
