The LSU Tigers (5-4, 2-4 SEC) will look to snap a three-game losing skid on Saturday night when the Arkansas Razorbacks head to Baton Rouge for a Week 12 SEC matchup.

After consecutive losses to Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, and Alabama, the Bayou Bengals will look to get back in the win column this weekend against a struggling Razorbacks squad.

"They've been behind against opponents and rallied back because of his unique skill set to both run and throw the ball," interim coach Frank Wilson said of Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green.

"They were averaging 35 points a game. They can rush the ball from the quarterback position by design; they can hand it off as well, and they have some receivers that can make plays for him."

Now, heading into Week 12, the LSU Tigers will look to get back in the win column against an Arkansas Razorbacks (2-7, 0-5 SEC) squad that has struggled down the stretch of the 2025 season as well.
