9:20 p.m. 10-0 Arkansas, end of three — Well, my live blog readers. Once more Arkansas goes into a fourth-quarter of an SEC game this year with a chance to end the futility. The Hogs have the ball at the LSU 40 with a third-and-7 to start the fourth quarter.
The Hogs just took a deep shot to the end zone on first down from the 43, and Hunter Henry drew double coverage. That’s a good sign. Must keep LSU honest and not throwing everything at the running lanes.
9:13 p.m. — A 29-yard pass and run for Hunter Henry from Brandon Allen got the Hogs into LSU territory again, but the LSU defense stepped up with a third-down sack of Brandon Allen at the 42. Sam Irwin-Hill punts the Tigers back to their 5. They’ve seen that before.
9:09 p.m. — And of course now Dan Skipper returns to making killer penalties, hitting LSU’s Kendell Beckwith in the back after a short carry by Alex Collins. Minus 15 yards for Arkansas for the personal foul.
9:05 p.m 10-0 — Arkansas survives the stupidity of giving LSU a second chance, and Trey Flowers make a huge third-down sack of Jennings, bringing on the usually dependable Delahoussaye from 47 yards. It’s wide right AND short.
Arkansas needs to get its act together and just go and win this game. Enough jacking around after 17 straight SEC losses. Can I put it any plainer than that?
8:59 p.m. — Arkansas has come out in the second half apparently already feeling the pressure that it might actually win an SEC game. And if the Hogs kept playing like they did in the first half, they just might. But no, a new Arkansas is on the field, fumbling (luckily for Arkansas it rolled out of bounds when LSU tried to scoop and score after a Jonathan Williams drop), dropping passing (Drew Morgan, wide open for a first down, another drop) and a DELAY OF GAME, of all things, trying to get off the punt from the 19. So, from the 14, Sam Irwin Hill is lucky to get it out past midfield with the roll.
Arkansas then has LSU seemingly off the field after a third-down incompletion, but Rohan Gaines reverts to his awful play and crashed into the head of the LSU receiver, targeting, and is tossed. Just a really stupid play. Stupid plays are the bane of the Hogs and why they never win an SEC game.
