Michael Van Buren Jr. threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Bower Sharp to rally LSU to a 23-22 win over Arkansas on Saturday, snapping a three-game losing streak and giving interim coach Frank Wilson his first victory since replacing Brian Kelly. The Tigers (6-4, 3-4 SEC) snapped a three-game losing streak in Wilson's second game heading the team since Brian Kelly was fired on Oct. 27, Trailing 22-16 early in the fourth quarter, LSU took over at its own 8-yard line. Van Buren led the 12-play, 92-yard scoring drive that saw tailback Ju'Jan Johnson complete one pass and attempt another along with an attempted pass by wide receiver Zavion Thomas.

Making his first career start at quarterback in place of the injured Garrett Nussemeier, Van Buren completed 21 of 31 passes for 221 yards. He also had a pivotal 35-yard run on second-and-16 with under five minutes to go in a drive that ate up the final five minutes after Arkansas missed a 48-yard field-goal attempt.
