That Arkansas dominated the field position game, won the turnover battle, and destroyed LSU in terms of efficiency tells you who the more deserving team was here. But the Hogs gave LSU a chance by struggling to turn scoring opportunities into points. Four real scoring opportunities (not including an end-of-game situation in which Arkansas wasn't actually trying to score) resulted in two touchdowns, a field goal, and a punt. That's not awful, but it opened the door for LSU to catch up if the Tigers were able to turn their own three opportunities into touchdowns.
They turned those opportunities into two missed field goals and a turnover. Ballgame.
