Dennis Johnson broke a tackle inside the 5 on a play-action catch, but fumbled at the 2. Keante Minor mishandled the LSU punt, but Price Holmes recovered. Wilson’s deep throw on the next snap was intercepted by LSU cornerback Tharold Simon and returned the Hogs’ 40. leading to a 49-yard Drew Alleman field goal. Dylan Breeding punted 45 yards to the LSU 3. The Hogs were shut out in the first quarter for the third time this season.

Arkansas converted two third downs and drove to the 24, where Zach Hocker’s 40-yard field-goal try was deflected by Bennie Logan and went wide left. The Arkansas sideline drew a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct call on a dead ball to give LSU a first down when facing third-and-2, and Jarvis Landry made a one-handed, 22-yard scoring grab three plays later.

Two LSU penalties helped the Hogs reach the 26, but Hocker missed wide right on a 43-yard field-goal try.

Pressure by Chris Smith and Alfred Davis forced Zach Mettenberger’s errant third-down throw. Dennis Johnson’s 24-yard catch and run set up John Henson’s first career field goal, a 25-yarder.

After an Arkansas punt, Ross Rasner and Robert Thomas combined for a 12-yard sack on third down. The Hogs reached fourth-and-4 from the LSU 45 and punted. The Tigers drove for a Drew Alleman 27-yard field goal. Julian Horton slid for a 28-yard catch to give Arkansas a final shot from the 18, but Wilson threw high for Mekale McKay as time ran out.
