Two weeks after knocking off then-No. 4 Tennessee in a shocking upset, Arkansas looked largely uninspired in a 34-10 loss at the hands of No. 8 LSU. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly from Arkansas' homecoming loss in Fayetteville.

Arkansas vs LSU: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

The Good: Taylen Green played a solid football game

Before you crucify the author for daring to say something positive about the Arkansas signal caller, its important to remember that Green was always going to be a work in progress at the quarterback position. While it's true that he did make a few mistakes on Saturday night - namely taking sacks and throwing an interception that set LSU up in prime position to score - he looked the most comfortable he has in an SEC game all year, completing 21 of 31 passes for 239 yards.

His best series of the evening was on Arkansas' lone touchdown drive when he completed all five of his passes, including a beautiful touchdown toss to Andrew Armstrong that got Arkansas back in the game. As has been the case all season, he still has a long way to go before he's considered an elite SEC quarterback, but he's finally getting his bearings in the toughest conference in football.
