WATCH: Dwight McGlothern ruins LSU’s drive with interception

McGlothern played two seasons at LSU before transferring to Arkansas. The pick allowed the Hogs to keep the lead.

LSU was getting yards in chunks on its second series against Arkansas on Saturday.

Until Nudie showed up.

Arkansas cornerback Dwight McGlothern intercepted LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with 3:06 left in the first quarter to stall the Tigers’ second drive of the game just as LSU was getting into scoring range.

Daniels let it fly to the right about eight yards downfield and McGlothern baited him into a throw for an easy pick. He took the ball back to the LSU 45, setting up Arkansas third drive of the game.

The Razorbacks scored on their previous drive when Cam Little kicked a 23-yard field goal to cap a 51-yard drive that took more than six minutes.

McGlothern played two seasons at LSU before transferring to Arkansas before the start of last season. He led the Razorbacks with four interceptions in 2022. The first-quarter interception Saturday was his second of the year.

Why LSU Will Win

LSU showed up late.

It battled hard well in a gut-check 76-73 win over Ole Miss that went down to the final moments. The Tigers were solid at coming up with enough assists to matter, hit 44% from the field, and they kept the turnovers to a minimum.

Now they have to hold up under the Arkansas pressure – they had no problem with that in a mid-January 92-76 win.

They were unstoppable from the field, dominated on the boards, and they were relentless – which is a must against this high-powered team.

LSU has one of the few offenses around that can hang punch for punch, scoring in a variety of way inside and out and on the move. However …

Why Arkansas Will Win

The Hogs came up with a win in the second game 83-75 just a few weeks ago. They ramped up the D a bit, controlled the glass, and it all continued as the offense scored more than 80 points in six of its  last seven games before the SEC Tournament.

They then showed they could grind it out a bit in a 70-64 win over Missouri. They’ll do whatever is needed, but the LSU defense allowed 80 points or more in four games in five before getting by Ole Miss. Arkansas has the scoring punch to keep on firing, and do it better.

What’s Going To Happen

LSU might be able to shoot from anywhere, but Arkansas will get the O going just a little bit more.

Expect a fantastic and fun up-and-down game with a whole lot of mood and momentum swings, but with Arkansas going on a burst down the stretch to finally pull this off.

Why LSU Will Win

Let’s just call the 91-78 loss to Georgia an aberration.

The offense continues to score in bunches with the ability pump in points inside and out, but the Tigers couldn’t hit from three or from the line against the Dawgs.

Now, the defense isn’t going to be anything great, but as long as it’s able to keep hitting around 47% from the field, it’ll be fine – and that seems to be the deal.

The Tigers had won their last 13 games when making 45% or more of their shots from the field, and are 0-6 on the season when they don’t.

Arkansas has allowed 44% or more from the field in each of its last three games and 43% or more in eight of the last nine.

Why Arkansas Will Win

LSU is going to to get whacked on the boards.

Arkansas comes up with enough defensive pressure to be an issue for an LSU offense that doesn’t move it around all that much, but the real key is its ability to hit the glass hard.

The Tigers might have the scoring firepower, but no one in the SEC wins games in more dominant fashion than the Hogs, including an 81-66 victory over Alabama a few days ago. They lead the league in scoring margin, won their last eight SEC games, and …

What’s Going To Happen

They got whacked by LSU 92-76 back in mid-January. And why?

They were destroyed on the boards, didn’t shoot well, and allowed the Tigers to hit 52% from the field. Expect all of those things to flip this time around.

Why LSU Will Win

Arkansas is vastly improved from the disaster of the last few years, but there are still glaring holes that need fixing over the rest of the season, if not next year, too.

The offensive line isn’t keeping anyone out of the backfield. The skill parts have been able to function, but anyone with a halfway decent pass rush is able to live behind the line and slow things down against an attack that stinks on third downs and is last in the SEC in time of possession.

For all of its faults, LSU leads the conference in tackles for loss with a steady enough pass rush to be a problem. The overall defense might be struggling, but the front line is disruptive.

Why Arkansas Will Win

LSU is just freaking weird.

There’s still more than enough talent to be decent, but everyone left the party and what’s left is a whole mess of parts that just aren’t coming together and clicking.

QB Myles Brennan is likely out for the year, but TJ Finley has big-time upside to build around. He needs time to work, he needs a running game to help the cause, and the entire offense needs the defense to stop getting bombed on so there’s not so much pressure.

How many times did Arkansas throw for over 200 yards last year? A bunch, but it was all in September – the O failed to get there over the last seven games. This year’s offense has yet to throw for fewer than 200.

Feleipe Franks been terrific, the defense is taking the ball away as well as any team in the conference, and unlike LSU, the parts are meshing just well enough to be competitive against everyone but the Floridas and Georgias of the world.

2020 LSU isn’t in that world.

What’s Going To Happen

Last year LSU was favored by over 40 points against the Hogs, and now …

The game against Alabama last week didn’t happen, and it didn’t matter.

LSU’s offense will work well enough to make this a fun shootout, but Arkansas is getting back head coach Sam Pittman, it’s been good at home, and it’ll come up with the late rally to pull this off. Franks will be the difference – he won’t make the mistakes that LSU’s backfield will.
