FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — It’s game time at Razorback Stadium with Arkansas hosting seventh-ranked LSU on a bright and sunny day.
It is cold, though. Really cold.
We’lll have to wait to find out if KJ Jefferson is starting at quarterbck. The Hogs won the toss and deferred after starting with the ball a couple of times and that working out really well.
Keep it here for the updates with Andy Hodges.
First Quarter
1Q 8:12: With Malik Hornsby getting his first SEC start, the offense got some life after a 14-yard punt return from Bryce Stephens and moved down before getting stopped. Cam Little’s 28-yard field capped a 10-play, 46-yard drive. Hogs 3, Tiger s0
Hogs squander a chance to pick up cheap points after Latavious Brini recovered a Jayden Daniels’ fumble and a fourth-and-goal try from the 3 didn’t get close with Hornsby.
Second Quarter
2Q 9:28: After LSU knocked the ball loose from Hornsby on a scramble, the Tigers recovered. Daniels broke free on a 20-yard scramble, their offense stalled. LSU tied the game on a 38-yard field goal by Damian Ramos. Hogs 3, Tigers 3

Fourth Quarter
4Q 13:17: Fortin making plays with his legs, but finally getting passing game going with the payoff coming as he took a big hit from Harold Perkins as the threw a perfect sideline strike to a streaking Matt Landers down the left sideline for a 40-yard scoring play. Tiger 13, Hogs 10
