Game Summary
The Razorbacks were statistically beaten by the Tigers, who held a 15-1 advantage in first downs. LSU also held a yardage advantage of 271-54. The Razorback defense stiffened in the red zone, however, holding the Tigers off the board from 1, 6, 7, and 8 yards out. Despite the cold and bad conditions, the final two plays were very dramatic. Tittle threw a pass to Jeff Adams, who was running to the end zone, but Clyde Scott of Arkansas tackled him at the one. LSU was in position for a game winning field goal, but there was a bad snap, and the game ended with a tie.
Tittle was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
