Bold Predictions For LSU vs. Mississippi State
After a weather delay of 3 hours and 45 minutes, the game in Tiger Stadium was canceled. Mississippi State broke a 14-game losing streak to the Tigers with a 34-29 win in Baton Rouge last season.
The key is making sure they account for everyone on the Mississippi State offense while keeping Prescott in check. Advantage, LSU.
The only player listed on the Mississippi State injury report is defensive back Taveze Calhoun. The half point is used to avoid pushes.
“It depends what part of it you’re talking about”, Mullen said. “… I just remember bringing him down (last year)”. New defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is a very talented coach and a guy that’s been around. He was sacked three times and finished with minus-19 yards rushing and a score.
How good is the Southern Miss team they played? “He does the things that that offense asks him to do”. He found some encouragement from his mentor, Michael Bonnette, when the job at MSU opened. We know what we’ve got and the people we can count on.
Mississippi State is looking to notch its fifth win against LSU in the past 30 years. Miles said. “But Dak’s pretty talented too”. That’s probably what they’ll try and do. Prescott completed a career-best 34 of 52 passes for 335 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. The Tiger defense allowed Prescott (the Dak-attack) to run for 118 yards on 22 carries and a TD while passing for 268 yards, 2 TDs and no picks.
Martin re-connected with some of his old acquaintances from LSU during the trip and left with a big smile on his face. “I think we’re well rested”.
Miles claims Harris has made clear improvements from last season, and should be ready to lead the Tigers. MSU has always had a big problem with LSU, so winning this game will mean more than simply getting a valuable division win. “Certainly, if you had a dress rehearsal at all, it would have been great”.
State, on the other hand, not only got a “dress rehearsal”, it got a stress rehearsal. Every play – especially those early in the game – are precious.
Iowa 27, Iowa State 10: The Hawkeyes have lost three of the last four meetings, all by the margin of a field goal. Both LSU and Mississippi State play Auburn the next two weeks after this game. Harris and Anthony Jennings combined for 17 touchdowns last season for LSU. If Prescott can play mistake free it could make for a post game party in Starkville.
Holloway was so effective against Southern Miss it’s easy to wonder if he’ll have a larger role in No. 25 Mississippi State’s Southeastern Conference opener against No. 14 LSU on Saturday. And Tech beat Arkansas State, 63-7. Now that he’s officially the guy under center for the Tigers, Harris is ditching his old ways and is out to rewrite his story with the Tigers (0-0). We’ll enjoy our preparation, and we’ll be fresh. “I was executing and obviously not playing backyard football anymore”, Harris said.
