LSU vs. Arkansas: What are the major areas of concern?

The LSU Tigers return to the field this weekend against Arkansas. Will they be rusty after two weeks off?

Has Bo Pelini fixed the defense?

The last time we saw LSU on the field, they were getting blown away by Auburn. The lopsided setback against Auburn raised plenty of questions about the LSU defense and Bo Pelini. How much could Pelini have possibly fixed in the two weeks since?

There may be nowhere for the LSU defense to go but up. The Tigers have allowed an average of 478.6 yards per game this season (only Ole Miss is worse with 535.6 ypg allowed, among SEC schools). LSU ranks at the bottom of the SEC in passing yards allowed per game (335.2; no other SEC school is allowing more than 293 passing yards per game).

What are the odds?: LSU opens as an underdog at Arkansas per BetMGM
