The stats show LSU's defense and special teams win games. So if this is a typical LSU game we will get 2 or 3 turnovers and keep Arkansas starting from inside their 15 yard line each time they get the ball.
Or will Petrino play more conservative to not turn the ball over to stay close and try to win the game in the 4th quarter.

Arkansas' special teams are actually better than LSU's, and our offense is worlds better, so maybe you should be worrying about LSU's field position in this game.
Petrino owns Miles and will use the same gameplan as always. Big plays to score, run the ball to win.

Petrino will beg Miles not to kneel it on him with 5 minutes left....and then watch the his team quickly get disposed of.

I think he'll let it rip. I like Arkansas as an overall team, but I don't like them in this game and - more specifically - on the road. Arky has been horrid on the road this year.

He only gets conservative if he has a lead in the 2nd half, depending on the situation...
Throw to score, run to win

As with most games, I'm sure Petrino will want to receive the ball first and try to get a score on the first possession. He usually favors the pass early on, something like 60-40 pass. After the first possession or two, it will depend on how the game is going.
When Arkansas has had a lead in the second half, Petrino leans more toward the run, but if we're behind, he'll probably put the game in Wilson's hands while calling a few runs here and there to try and keep the D honest.
Petrino won't try to "out-conservative" you like Saban. He will want to play his aggressive brand of football, although he's smart enough to adjust his gameplan as needed.

Petrino will have to throw to catch up. Miles will make his o-line and d-line quit....just like he's done to every other team this year. Teams with much, much better lines too.

Defense - agreed.
Which stats are you looking at for STs?
Our stats show that our offense wins games. Weird.
One persons view of STs...

We will try to play our game and take what the defense presents. The opponent doesn't matter.

Hogs will "come to paint" this year

I like Arkansas as a team but as someone mentioned, the depth is going to be the problem for Arkansas. If they can jump out to a 2 score lead they will have a chance but if they can't it's going to be very tough in them as the game gets into the 2nd part of the 3rd and then the 4th.

Heard elsewhere:
LSU fan asked me how we're gonna beat them.
So I says to him I says "We're gonna go up by eight, have the ball with a few minutes to go. Run the ball down your throats like a boss and take a knee on your five yard line so that god and country can know we could have put more points on you but decided to pack it in."
He started to laugh halfway through till he remembered last year.

Not likely. I think he will gameplan this game like the rest: find the weaknesses...attack the weaknesses. Like with Alabama, LSU's weaknesses are not easy to find, and what weaknesses there are can be miniscule. However, I know he will scheme to create mis-matches - like a Chris Gragg on a LB, or maybe use LSU's speed getting upfield to their disadvantage through screens and/or draws.
On defense, I'm sure the emphasis will be on stopping the run game.

Like most football contests this one will be decided in the trenches. Arkansas needs to stretch the field to loosen up the LSU defense. If the Hog offensive line can give Wilson enough time then I can easily see an upset. If not, then it will likely lead to typical LSU domination.
On the other side I expect LSU to control the clock with their running game keeping the Hog offense off the field. JJ's ability to pick up yards with his feet when receivers are covered will be critical for the Tiger offense.
