re: Why Miss State matches up with LSU very well

LSU will win comfortably....We're a legit title contender loaded across the field. State is a fringe Top20-25 team that doesn't beat ranked opponents under DM. LSU may or may not cover, that is the only question, but LSU has little chance of losing this home game.
At this point, LSU is a very underrated team that is kind of flying under the national radar due to NFL losses and perceived question marks on offense, MissSt is a trendy up-and-comer pick, that's the only reason a few people are getting sucked into the "this might be the year State beats LSU" conversation.
LSU 27, MissSt 6
All that said, it works out well for the LSU coaches and players that many are giving MissSt a "shot" and that this game is the SEC opener for LSU with a cupcake the following week. LSU certainly won't be looking past MissSt, which is what MissSt will need to ever win against LSU (falling on our schedule in a spot where we look past them or aren't ready to play). Due to the scheduling circumstances of this particular game, not to mention it being a night game in TS, it spells doom for MissSt.

Ironically, I expect this to be one of the better games for the O-line. They've had breakdowns early and I suspect that's been the main focus of practice this week. Most mistakes have been mental vs physical and I think they get them ironed out by Saturday.
I predict a back and forth game with LSU winning 24-20. MSU scores late to make it close.

If you look at this game objectively you will see this game will be a battle. To think we will dominate this team is crazy, but if we do dominate it will tell us a lot about the tigers.
This is Jennings first SEC start, Prescott is a better QB at this point. Our offensive line has not looked as advertised, especially against a competetive D line.
MSU has legitimate all sec players in Jones on DL and McKinney at LB. Furthermore, they have more speed on Defense than Wisconsin which will make outside runs difficult. Jennings and our WR have yet to establish short to medium passing offense.
Prescott will be able to scramble much better than any QB we have faced and could extend drives. Although I agree their WR are overmatched, prescott could scramble enough to create coverage breakdowns. We have looked better in the middle of our D lately, but I consider it still unproven based on competition.
If our D continues to play assignment football MSU will have a tough time. MSU is capable of big plays, which is what hurt us vs Wisconsin.
We are better special teams wise, and it's a night game in TS. Obviously, we have the advantage in this game and should win. We will lose if we don't protect the ball and give them easy scoring chances.
To think this game is a blowout is sunshine pumping at its best.
