re: Just watched highlights of last years loss at msst ...

State just crushed LSU around the edge last year.

Vs. Auburn, MSU basically ran the option (without a pitch man) out of the shotgun with 4 wide WR's. That allowed Fitzgerald to gash Auburn up the middle.

So basically (just like most games) for LSU's defense it's starts up front. The DL and OLB's can't get manhandled like they did last season. If they can hold up, White and Phillips should have a ton of tackles. I wouldn't be shocked to see LSU bring a safety off the edge and simply dare MSU to beat their CB's one on one.

Offensively, Deculus is a big liability...particularly against Sweat. Moreau is probably going to spend a big part of the game helping Deculus. It's not really their game, but I wonder if LSU will try to go a bit more side to side to try to wear MSU's ends/LB's out? Nah...LSU is going to look to hit some deep balls.
