LSU heads to Fayetteville to face the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday in what is a crucial game for the Tigers.
Ed Orgeron’s team hasn’t seen the field in three weeks since the team lost 48-11 at Auburn.
Arkansas is coming off a 63-35 loss at Florida, while the Tigers enter the game with a 2-3 record. The Razorbacks currently sit at 3-4 on the season.
Here are the biggest pregame storylines that have unfolded ahead of Saturday’s matchup.
It was another week, another game in jeopardy due to COVID-19
After the Alabama game last week was postponed due to COVID-19 issues within the LSU program, Arkansas had issues of its own.
The Razorbacks have had a few positive tests this week, but not enough to postpone the game. Just yesterday, it was made clear that the game was a go.
With the Alabama game likely being moved to the end of the schedule, there likely would have been no alternative to getting this game between the Razorbacks and Tigers played should it get postponed before kickoff on Saturday.
