Coming off their second-straight loss in which they fell on the road at LSU, 34-31, Arkansas stays in the No. 8 spot this week. A game in which Arkansas led 13-10 at halftime, the Razorbacks did outscore the Tigers 15-10 in the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to comeback after LSU out-scored them 14-3 in third quarter.

The Razorbacks now sit at 2-2 overall this season, as well as 0-1 in SEC play, and will now take on Texas A&M this weekend in a neutral-site matchup.
