Arkansas Testing No. 17 LSU, Trails 24-23

Baton Rouge, LA (Sports Network) - Josh Jasper kicked his fourth field goal of the game from 36 yards out in overtime, as 17th-ranked LSU defeated Arkansas, 33-30, in another nail-biter between these SEC rivals.

Arkansas had its chance to respond in overtime, but Alex Tejada hung his kick of 36 yards out to the right to give LSU the thrilling win.

Terrible clock management in the waning seconds of last week’s 25-23 loss to Ole Miss cost LSU its No. 10 ranking and a possible BCS bid. Les Miles’ team didn’t let that happen again, though, as the Tigers’ two-minute offense went to work late in the fourth quarter for a second straight week.

With 1:18 to play, Jordan Jefferson moved the offense 43 yards to put the ball at the Arkansas 23 with nine seconds left for Jasper, who was true from 41 yards away to send the game to overtime.

Jefferson threw a pair of touchdown passes and completed 17-of-25 attempts for 179 yards. Brandon LaFell had four catches for 70 yards and a score, while Deangelo Peterson scored on his only catch of the day.

Trindon Holliday rushed nine times for 57 yards and took back a punt 87 yards for a touchdown for the Tigers (9-3, 5-3 SEC), who had lost two of their previous three games.

Ryan Mallett was 17-of-39 for 227 yards, one touchdown and one interception with Ronnie Wingo Jr. and Broderick Green both scoring rushing TDs.

Greg Childs was the recipient of five passes for 124 yards for Arkansas (7-5, 3-5), which was bidding for a fifth consecutive win.
