For the first time since 1919, a span of 18 years, Arkansas did not play LSU in Shreveport, Louisiana. Arkansas went 7–10 against the Tigers, losing the last seven contests. This would become a rivalry known as The Battle for the Golden Boot. The two adjacent states would not meet again until 1953.
