re: I Have Not Read nor Seen Anything That Explains Last Night

There's an article on HailStateBeat that explains it a little.

State apparently knew everything LSU was going to do, and LSU coaches did not make adjustments. This reeks of LSU thinking they could play vanilla and run all over State.

For example: as MSU moved up and down the field, they also moved side-to-side, and as they did so, they knew where they could exploit LSU’s defense. As Fitzgerald explained after the game, they knew that whatever hashmark they were closest to, the open field side was where the Tigers were weak. Constantly, MSU rolled that direction on designed runs, quarterback rollouts and run-pass options all night.

“We knew they were going to be weak to the field,” Fitzgerald said. “We knew we could attack that part of the field for them. We always had two people in front of me blocking. Had great blocks. Make sure people on the perimeter are blocking, too. Really, all I do is run.”
