Time for the Tigers to Earn Their Stripes

Forget the "Game of the Century" or last weeks routing of Ole Miss, the game the Tigers are now focusing on is the one on Friday against the Arkansas Razorbacks. This will be the 57th meeting between the two schools and LSU leads the overall series 34-20-02. This has become the Tigers biggest game of the year and if they pull off a victory they will play for the SEC Championship and possibly the National Championship! There are no givens in college football and the Tigers are sure to face a battle with the Hogs. If history has anything to say about this match up we can be assured that it will be a close one. The Tigers have lost the last 3 out of 4 and only by 3 points or less. Again there are no guarantees and the Tigers will need to play what we have characteristically  come to know this season as "LSU football."  If the Tigers can do that then they will roast the Hogs and earn their stripes all in the same day!
