The LSU Tigers have an opportunity to get one step closer to bowl eligibility, to do so they need to beat Arkansas. The Razorbacks earned their bowl eligibility last week after their three-point win over Mississippi State.
With the loss of Kayshon Boutte earlier this season, more focus has been on the running game and playing complementary football. Davis-Price has been on a mission over the last four games on the ground. Even going as far as setting the school rushing record against the Florida Gators.
