No. 8 LSU avoids upset against Arkansas

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jarvis Landry made a spectacular one-handed touchdown catch and No. 8 LSU kept its BCS hopes alive with a 20-13 win over Arkansas on Friday.

Zach Mettenberger passed for 217 yards and hooked up with Landry for the play of the day with 1:12 left in the first half to put LSU up 10-0 on a 22-yard TD pass. The Tigers (10-2 overall, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) reached double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight seasons.

LSU must now hope for an Alabama loss to Auburn and Texas A&M victory on Saturday in order to reach next weekend’s SEC championship game. Even without a division crown, the Tigers still could get an at-large bid to the BCS.
