LSU vs. Arkansas

After a tremendous season, the LSU Tigers played the University of Arkansas for a final face-off. The game took place at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge over Thanksgiving weekend. Thousands of fans came out in their purple and gold to support their tigers for the last home game of the season. The fourth quarter became critical as the Tigers were outplayed and favored by more than three touchdowns over the hogs. However, the Tigers prevailed 31-27 for another SEC victory. It was a bittersweet win for most of the team that day, as the seniors gathered during the LSU Fight Song to reminisce on the wonderful years they've had playing in Death Valley. With another impressive season underway, Coach Les Miles and the LSU Tigers will continue to roar as they gear up for the 2014 OutBack Bowl versus University of Iowa. Geaux Tigers!
