Caden Durham ran for three touchdowns Saturday night and No. 8 LSU limited Arkansas to 38 yards on the ground in a 34-10 Southeastern Conference win in Fayetteville, Ark.

Durham rushed for 101 yards on 21 carries as the Tigers (6-1, 3-0) earned their sixth straight win. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was an efficient 22-of-33 through the air for 224 yards, spreading his completions around to nine different receivers.

Meanwhile, the Razorbacks (4-3, 2-2) couldn't replicate the success they had in their 19-14 upset of then-unbeaten Tennessee in their last game two weeks ago. Quarterback Taylen Green connected on 19 of 28 attempts for 239 yards with a touchdown and an interception but absorbed three sacks.

Arkansas drew within 16-10 at the 9:57 mark of the third quarter when Matthew Shipley drilled a 51-yard field goal, but made a big mistake on its next possession. Green's first down pass over the middle was picked off by Whit Weeks and returned to the Razorbacks 2.

Durham scored on the next play and a two-point conversion pass turned a tight game into a 24-10 LSU advantage. The Tigers pulled away in the fourth quarter via Damian Ramos' 47-yard field goal with 11:57 remaining and a 1-yard touchdown run by Durham with 2:20 left.

LSU got off to a fast start, taking the opening kickoff and scoring less than five minutes into the game when Durham ripped off a 22-yard touchdown run. Ramos capped a 14-play drive on the Tigers' next possession with a 33-yard field goal, the first of his four on the day.

Ramos made it 13-0 by bombing a 48-yarder with 13:04 left in the first half, six plays after Rashod Dubinion lost a fumble. The Razorbacks finally got something going on their next possession as Green found Andrew Armstrong for a 25-yard strike with 8:25 remaining in the half.

But another ball-control drive for LSU restored a two-score lead when it chewed up 5:15 of clock prior to Ramos' 33-yard field goal at the 3:10 mark, giving it a 16-7 cushion at halftime.
