SEC WEST CHAMPIONS | Biggest takeaways from LSU's win over Arkansas Razorbacks, season turnaround
Summary: All the LSU Tigers needed to do on Saturday in Fayetteville was beat the Arkansas Razorbacks. That's it. Win, and you're in the SEC Championship. While it wasn't a very pretty win, and it wasn't a win that came without some stress and anguish from Tigers fans, it was a win nonetheless that set LSU up for a bid to the SEC Championship game in Brian Kelly's first season as head coach for the Tigers. Just how big is that for Kelly in year one, and how reassuring is that for Tigers fans for the Kelly era in Baton Rouge? Plus, it was a tale of two teams on Saturday. The defense absolutely DOMINATED the Arkansas Razorbacks holding them to just ten points on the day. While the entire defense deserves credit, one player in particular emerges as the obvious key to the game. True freshman Harold Perkins recorded four (FOUR!!!!) sacks on the day and singlehandedly won LSU the game against Arkansas. He has proven to be a force for this LSU defense and may just have a case for the best defensive player in college football. As a true freshman. However, the other side of the ball wasn't nearly as dominant as Perkins and the rest of the LSU D. LSU's offense struggled against Arkansas DC Barry Odom's defense, notching just 13 points on the day and limiting QB Jayden Daniels to just 86 yards and zero touchdowns.
