LSU has no shot to reach the SEC Championship Game or College Football Playoff, but the No. 9 Tigers are still in position for a major bowl game if they win out. They need to avoid a major letdown Saturday at a bad Arkansas team, which explains why the Tigers are NCAAF Betting favorites by two TD’s.
The combination of Harris and Ramirez is also the top tackling duo in the conference. At least one member of the trio has had 10 or more tackles in each of the last five games & eight of the last nine contests, with all three accomplishing the feat against Texas A&M (9/29) and Alabama (10/6).
Junior kicker Connor Limpert was named a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award on Nov. 1, which is presented annually to the nation’s top kicker. He is one of 20 semifinalists up for the honor, as he is 16-of-20 in FG attempts this year and owns the longest field goal made among the group & the second-longest in the country this season at 55 yards.
The Razorbacks trail the all-time series with the Tigers 39-22-2, with the series dating back to 1901. Arkansas has won two of the last four meetings, picking up back-to-back wins in 2014 & 2015. The two teams have only met in Fayetteville four times, including each of the last three even years, while the first came in 1992.
