FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Jarvis Landry helped LSU keep an SEC title within reach.

Landry made a spectacular, reaching, one-handed touchdown catch and the eighth-ranked Tigers held on for 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. The Tigers (10-2, 6-2 Southeastern Conference) reached double-digit wins for the sixth time in eight seasons under Coach Les Miles.

LSU must now hope for an Alabama loss to Auburn and Texas A&M victory Saturday to reach next weekend’s SEC championship game.
