SEC West Rivalry: no.14 LSU vs. Mississippi State Preview

LSU opens its 2023 SEC schedule against the Bulldogs!

The LSU Tigers are gearing up for a challenging SEC showdown against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in a game that promises to be a clash of contrasting styles. After a resounding victory over Grambling in which they scored an impressive 72 points, LSU is back in the thick of high-level competition. The Tigers, led by signal caller Jayden Daniels, are eager to put their loss to Florida State behind them. Daniels has shown his talents, passing for 346 yards and completing 75% of his passes, albeit against weaker opponents. The question on everyone’s mind is how Daniels and the LSU offense will fare against the Bulldogs’ defense.

Mississippi State, on the other hand, is coming off a narrow escape against Arizona, relying on turnovers to secure an overtime victory. Bulldogs quarterback Will Rogers finds himself in the midst of a scheme transition, and his performance has been inconsistent against subpar defenses. Now, facing a formidable LSU defense, Mississippi State will be tested in establishing its run game against a fearsome defensive front. Despite their struggles against Florida State, LSU’s defense is poised to exploit Mississippi State’s lack of top-tier talent in the receiving corps, making it challenging for the Bulldogs to go deep.

While expectations may be high for this matchup, the game could shape up to be more of a defensive struggle than a high-scoring affair. Both teams boast veteran defensive lines that can disrupt opposing offenses. The LSU offense, though improved, may not be at an elite level, and they could opt for a ground-based approach with Daniels utilizing his legs. With these factors in mind, the under could be a more enticing bet for those looking to wager on this game. Regardless of the final score, this matchup between the LSU Tigers and Mississippi State Bulldogs promises to deliver intense SEC action that fans won’t want to miss.
