Interview with an LSU beat writer: Five inquiries from the opposing side.

HawgSports spoke with Geaux247 senior writer Glen West to get insight on the 2024 version of the No. 8-ranked LSU Tigers football team before their game against the Arkansas Razorbacks.
LSU is ahead in the all-time series with a record of 44-23-2, and the last four matchups have all been determined by a margin of three points. LSU won 34-31 in 2023 at Baton Rouge, 13-10 in 2022 at Fayetteville, Arkansas won 16-13 in 2021 at Baton Rouge, and LSU won 27-24 in 2020 at Fayetteville. This game was played in November for 31 seasons in a row. It was a historic moment when last season’s game took place in September, marking the first time in 69 matchups. The upcoming meeting between the two teams in October will mark the first time since LSU’s 19-7 victory over Arkansas in Shreveport in 1936. In October games, LSU has a record of 7 wins and 4 losses against the Hogs.
“The angry customer demanded a refund for the faulty product.”
“The customer who was angry requested a refund due to the defective product.” What is the most recent update on the LSU injury report after a tough overtime game against Ole Miss? Additionally, who has been absent and who is anticipated to come back? Who took over Harold Perkins’ position and how has he done in the role?
LSU has a few players to keep an eye on, especially at the wide receiver spot. CJ Daniels was absent in the Ole Miss game due to a knee injury, but he is improving consistently and is likely to play this weekend. Another player affected by injury is Chris Hilton, who has been sidelined for the entire year 2024 due to a leg injury he suffered the week before the season began. When in good health, he is LSU’s primary deep threat and even though Brian Kelly has said he’s ‘day-to-day,’ we will only trust that he’s actually playing when we see him on the field during the game.
Regarding who has taken over since Harold Perkins’ injury, the definite answer is Whit Weeks. The linebacker in his second year was awarded SEC player of the week after his game against Ole Miss and has played a crucial role in the defense’s recent success. LSU used a three linebacker formation with Perkins as a rover/hybrid WILL linebacker before his injury. However, since Perkins was injured, the Tigers have mostly used a 4-2-5 formation, with Weeks and Greg Penn as the two inside linebackers and Major Burns moving up to play a STAR safety position near the line of scrimmage.
Midseason power rankings for college football: Evaluating all 67 Power Four teams as they head into the second half of 2024.
A new hierarchy has emerged following numerous unexpected events in the initial seven weeks.
The unexpected events and letdowns in the first half of the 2024 college football season drastically altered the expectations for the rest of the games. There is a new hierarchy in place, significantly different from the preseason forecasts. Florida State dropped from a top-10 position to the bottom of the ACC, while Vanderbilt and Indiana rose from the bottom of their conferences, and numerous other teams surpassed or fell short of expectations.
The focus is on the top of the ladder, where 12 teams will be selected to join the extended College Football Playoff in the upcoming weeks. Texas and Oregon are in a good position to receive first-round byes after winning big during conference play. However, the uncertainty of this season means there are various potential outcomes for both the Longhorns, Ducks, and other top-ranked teams.
If the chaos of the first half is anything to go by, we could expect more changes in the future.
