FAYETTEVILLE, AR. - LSU traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas where they started fast and finished strong, defeating the Razorbacks, 34-10. Victory for LSU.

The Tigers showed up and took care of business, jumping on the Razorbacks early, then cruising to an impressive win on the road.

Garrett Nussmeier continued his fine play, going 22-33 for 224 yards. He completed passes to eight different receivers and took care of the football all night long.

Caden Durham had a great game, rushing for 101 yards on 21 carries with three touchdowns. Kaleb Jackson added 30 yards on five carries and Josh Williams had five carries for 18 yards.

CJ Daniels led the team in receiving with seven catches for 86 yards. Kyren Lacy finished with six catches for 49 yards. Aaron Anderson added three grabs for 36 yards. Mason Taylor had 16 yards on two catches.

The Tigers took the opening kickoff and drove 75 yards in eight plays, culminating with a beautiful 22 yard touchdown run by Caden Durham. 7-0, LSU with 10:21 left in the first quarter.

Arkansas responded with a 52 yard drive that stalled at the LSU 24 yard line. But Arkansas faulted as Hog's kicker Matthew Shipley missed a 42 yard field goal attempt. LSU would take over at their own 24 yard line with 6:21 left in the opening quarter.

The LSU offense extended their lead, driving 60 yards in 14 plays, having to settle for a Damian Ramos 33 yard field goal. 10-0 Tigers with only 38 seconds left in the quarter.

LSU then drove into Arkansas territory but the drive stalled as the Tigers ended up moving backwards after committing a string of penalties to kill the drive. Blake Ochsendorf's punt, LSU's only punt of the game, was fair caught at the Razorbacks' 14 yard line.

On Arkansas first offensive play of their next possession, Taylen Green was under extreme pressure and had his attempted pass deflected into the air and intercepted by Whit Weeks at the six yard line. Weeks fell forward to the Hog's two yard line to set the LSU offense up with a first and goal.

On first and goal from the two, Cade Durham punched it into the end zone. Nussmeier then hit
Trey'Dez Green for a two point conversion to extend the lead to 24-10.
