Description
The LSU Tigers defeated the Arkansas Razorbacks 34-31 on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium. LSU got the win and extend their conference record to 2-0, but it was a much closer game than anyone, LSU fans, Arkansas fans, and even Las Vegas, anticipated. Why were the Razorbacks able to keep it so close against LSU?
The slow offensive start and Jayden Daniels hiccups early in the game did not help LSU's case. But the most glaring smudge on the Tigers' resume against Arkansas was the third down defense. Arkansas converted only two of their thirteen third downs last week at home in a loss to the BYU Cougars. Against LSU Arkansas converted eight of thirteen. Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson was able to turn a 3rd and 6 and a 3rd and 18 into touchdown drives.
However, third down defense isn't a new problem for the Tigers. It was a huge reason why LSU fell behind to the Florida State Seminoles in the second half of the first game of the season. The Noles converted 9 of their 14 third downs and LSU couldn't even stop them in 3rd and 13, 3rd and 12, and other 3rd and long situations.
Overall, the third down defense and secondary is hurting the LSU Tigers football team. It makes the defense's job more difficult and it puts more pressure on Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas, Logan Diggs, and other offensive starters to make each drive a touchdown drive. But how can it get fixed?
