Follow the big plays and scoring in Hogs game with LSU on Saturday night and both teams have motivation
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Most Arkansas fans were getting a little cocky picking a win over No. 8 LSU this week.
They turned out to be a little overly optimistic as LSU behind a methodical night of quarterback Garrett Nussmeier doing whatever it took and blasted the Razorbacks, 34-10. They dominated the Hogs more than anybody all year.
You can see how the game played out below.
Q1 10:21: LSU took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in eight plays, overcoming two penalties, one that took a touchdown off the board. Facing a second-and-22, the Tigers ripped off a 22-yard run by Caden Durham. LSU never faced a third down in the drive. LSU 7, Hogs 0
Q1 :38: The Tigers force a missed 43-yard field goal by Matthew Shipley, then get a 33-yard field goal Damien Ramos. LSU 10, Hogs 0
Arkansas ripped off a 13-yard run by Rashod Dubinion, but he fumbled after being hit by Jardin Gilber and LSU’s Major Burns jumped on it for a quick turnover as the first quarter ended.
Q2 13:04: LSU couldn’t take full advantage of the recovered fumble, but it’s still points off a Hogs’ turnover. The Tigers only go 7 yards in six plays, but get a 48-yard field goal from Ramos to extend the lead. LSU 13, Hogs 0
Q2 8:25: Taylen Green moves to his left in the pocket and finds a wide open Andrew Armstrong, who found a crease in the LSU secondary for a 25-yard score to get on the board. LSU 13, Hogs 7
Q2 3:10: LSU responds with a 10-play, 59-yard drive that ate up 5:19 of the clock before the Hogs’ defense stiffened and forced a 33-yard field goal by Ramos. LSU 16, Hogs 7
Q3 9:57: Razorbacks take second half kickoff and move methodically down the field with short passes from Green to Andrew Armstrong and Luke Hasz. They can’t get into the end zone, though, and have to settle for a 51-yard field goal from Shiple that could provide him a huge confidence boost. LSU 16, Hogs 10
Q3 4:52: LSU took the momentum awayfrom the Hogs really quickly when Green’s pass was tipped and he kept alive for the Tigers’ Whit Weeks to intercept after getting a hand on it. Durham took the ball in from the 2 to extend the lead. The Tigers added a 2-point conversion on a pass from Nussmeier to Trey’Dez Green. LSU 24, Hogs 10
Q4 11:57: Tigers put together an eight-play, 50-yard drive and Ramos kicks his fourth field goal of the night, a 47-yarder, that extends the lead to three scores. LSU 27, Hogs 10
Q4 2:20: LSU puts together an 80-yard drive in 14 plays to put a final exclamation point with Durham scoring from the 1. That brought things to the final. LSU 34, Hogs 10
