LSU is currently set to return to the football field this weekend when they face rival Arkansas. Whether that game is played remains to be seen as the Razorbacks await testing results. But for now, it’s game on between the Tigers and Razorbacks in the battle for The Boot.
After two weeks without a game, will LSU be ready to return and compete? Will the defense show any signs of improvement? And what exactly is happening with the quarterback situation?
LSU has a good number of reasons to be concerned this weekend as they face Arkansas. Here are four of the biggest concerns for LSU this weekend.
Will LSU need to shake off any rust?
Sudden layoffs from the schedule tend to throw teams out of their typical routines. While LSU was expected to have a normal bye week two weeks ago, having last game’s game against Alabama postponed was not something that could have been predicted easily. And the cloud of uncertainty over the roster flexibility leading up to that game made for an interesting week at practice, to say the least.
So just how up to speed are the Tigers now, coming off their postponed game against the Crimson Tide? Will the fact that LSU has essentially been on a two-week bye be important considering Arkansas has not skipped a beat this season with their schedule?
