FAYETTEVILLE — Five observations from No. 25 Arkansas’ 38-10 loss to No. 24 LSU.
— Run defense comes back to earth
Talk about a roller-coaster last month of football. Auburn gashed Arkansas’ run defense for 543 yards, then, after a bye, the Hogs held Florida to 12 yards on 14 attempts. The unit reverted Saturday, allowing LSU to run for 390 yards on 7.6 yards per carry.
It marked the fourth time Arkansas has allowed 250 or more rushing yards this season. In those games, it has given up an unseemly 8.7 yards per carry.
