LSU @ Arkansas by the numbers.

First off, here's the stat I find the most interesting .

LSU pressure rate is 4th in the country. They get after the QB. Arkansas is 129th in pressures allowed. So that's pretty fricked up.

Arkansas ranks 68th in pass yards allowed despite having faced no real competition at QB.

Meanwhile LSUs passing offense ranks 6th in the country, and Nuss is also 6th in passing yards. Another fricked stat. This is by far the best offense Arky will have faced.

It's not all sunshine for LSU though. They rank 99th in rushing offense. That's abysmal. The team lives or dies by Nuss right now. It also hasn't mattered because ..

LSU has the best pass protection in the country. Nuss has a pristine white jersey 88% of the time.

Here's where Arkansas can beat LSU.

Arky has a 24 ranking in passing offense. This is damn good against and LSU secondary that ranks 100th in the country. Almost dead last in the SEC. This is somewhat mitigated by the defensive line but there are plays to be made against it. It's worrisome.

This one has potential. Petrino will exploit the secondary.

Using these statistics alone you can reasonably set the point total to around 65.

Petrino WILL exploit LSUs secondary. LSU will disrupt the passing game a lot, especially if the Arky QB isnt as mobile as he can be.

I expect a good game.
