Tougher game: Moo State or West Virginia?

I predicted before the season that if we got past Oregon we could potentially drop one of the two early road games. Moo State is a weekday road game which are very tough and West Virginia will be our third road game in four weeks. Which is tougher?
I will say if we get through the start at 4-0, things are looking very promising!!!!!

Moo State. WVU doesn't have the talent to keep up with lsu.

Both will probably be tough games, but compare their schedules to LSU's.
Mississippi State plays Auburn this week, where as LSU plays Northwestern state. Some advantage to LSU on the quick turnaround game even with it being at State.
West Virginia will be playing Maryland the week before they play LSU, and LSU will have nine days to prepare for WVU.

State. WVU runs the same style of offense as Oregon, so I have no doubt that we can keep them in check. They also do not have the same caliber defense that Moo State has. Although MSU runs the spread as well, they run more of a power-style spread and they have a better defense. Definitely Moo State.

LSU will have extra time to prepare for WVU. I predict a major league arse-whooping, but let's get past NSU and MooU first.

I'm very unintimidated by WVU. So state.

Moo State for sure. SEC West is TOUGH to play in on the road. Last time we played there Moo State almost pulled it out.

MSU. Relf has improved significantly as a passer and is a load at 245. MSU plays tough and can grind it out, plus it is a short week of practice for a Thursday game.

We win both by 14+

I think West V is tougher due to the fact LSU owns Miss state and is actually due for a Stomping against them.
West V is a farther travel, and is after the Miss st game..

Mississippi State will not be an easy opponent to beat at their place.
WVU had trouble with Marshall last season, as well. I like that the Tigers have 10 days to prep for WVU.
I don't like that the Tigers have only 4 days to prepare for MSU. I do not believe that the players will begin to focus on MSU until after the home opener on Saturday. Miles stated as much in his presser.
I do believe that some junior staffers will be organizing info on MSU this week. Between MSU and WVU, I believe MSU to be the more dangerous opponent. They can score and they can defend. MSU was no cupcake for anyone last season, except for maybe LSU. They are a top 20 team IMHO, and they know how to play SEC football.
I hope we beat both teams convincingly.

MSU will be much tougher.

Moo state. They have more motivation with the huge loss streak to LSU and its on a Thursday where LSU will have less time to prepare for them. LSU will have a couple extra days to prepare for West Va.

MSU will be MUCH tougher than WVU. MSU is a tough matchup for LSU. They have a very powerful O-line. Vic Ballard is a very good back. The passing game with Relf, Clark, and Bumphis is formidable. There is experience at every position on offense. On defense, the only two freshmen that they have in the 2-deep are redshirts starting over the upperclassmen. That shows talent and depth.
If you look at WVU, it's very close to the same situation but for a few deficiencies. Geno Smith + Tavon Austin make a threatening passing game, but WVU lacks experience at RB. Their O-line is experienced but not as large as MSU's. On defense, they are very experienced with no freshmen starting. However, their D-line is very small, a good matchup for LSU's o-line.
MSU has a really good team. This isn't your NCAA-sanctioned Croom doormat of yesteryear. Look for MSU to wear down late in the game because of their scheduling anomaly. Look for LSU to struggle with an inspired WVU but pull away late.
