Arkansas great Darren McFadden narrates hype video for rivalry clash with LSU

With a win Saturday, Arkansas could score the biggest upset victory of the college football season.

That’s because the Razorbacks are going on the road to take on the No. 1 team in the country, LSU, in a challenging SEC matchup at Tiger Stadium. It will be Arkansas’ second game under interim head coach Barry Lunney Jr., who took over after Chad Morris was fired on Nov. 10.

The Razorbacks are 2-8 this season, including 0-6 in conference games. They haven’t won a game against an SEC opponent since a victory over Ole Miss on Oct. 28, 2017.

Ahead of Saturday’s game, Arkansas released a hype video for the matchup on Twitter on Friday. And it’s narrated by a Razorbacks great — former Hogs running back Darren McFadden:

Although Arkansas has lost its last three meetings against LSU, the Razorbacks have played competitive games during that stretch. Last year, they lost to the Tigers, 24-17, at home. They also beat LSU in 2014 and 2015, and the Tigers were ranked heading into both games.

But this year might be the best LSU has been in a while, so it will certainly be a challenge for Arkansas.

The Razorbacks and Tigers are set to kick off on Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN.
