Arkansas is on the cusp of losing its first four conference games since the 2008-09 season. Starting 0-3 hasn't been ideal for the Hogs, as the expectations preceding this season were massive, with Hall of Fame coach John Calipari taking the reins and top transfer/recruiting classes heading to the Hill. Instead, the Razorbacks find themselves at the bottom of the SEC three games into the league play.
However, right there, next to them, are the LSU Tigers. Arkansas and LSU have the same record going into today's game. They're 11-5 with three losses in conference play, and both are looking for their first SEC win. While the Hogs have played three top-5 conference teams, the Tigers have lost to Vanderbilt and Missouri. The one opponent they have in common is Ole Miss, which LSU lost by 12 points.
The losses might not be — for the lack of a better word — as good as Arkansas's, but this year, the SEC is loaded from top to bottom. Mizzou and Vandy have only lost three games this season, including one conference game. With each team desperate for their first league win, Arkansas fans should expect a massive fight from LSU, especially with the game taking place in Baton Rouge.
