Bayou bashing: Arkansas kicks in early to retain boot

BATON ROUGE -- Arkansas unleashed a big-play offense and got a big boost with five sacks from its previously dormant pass rush to stun No. 9 LSU 31-14 on Saturday.

The Razorbacks (6-4, 4-2 SEC) became bowl eligible in style, winning their fourth consecutive game in dominating fashion over the Tigers (7-2, 4-2 SEC) before a crowd of 101,699 at Tiger Stadium.

Many in the crowd booed as the Razorbacks took control in the second half and the stadium was nearly empty as Arkansas cornerback D.J. Dean intercepted a pass from Brandon Harris in the end zone with 3:26 remaining to seal the game and hand LSU Coach Les Miles with a rare night loss in Death Valley.
