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.

Moo State. Simple fact we have to stay undefeated in conference unless Bama were to lose. WVU will be a very hard game but MSU will be much more physical than WVU. Spreads and gimmicks don't work against massive defensive speed.

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.

Moo State.

IMO: They think they have a chance to go to the Sugar Bowl.

And they do, until proven otherwise. So they are going to be fired up.

WV only plays one ranked team all season. LSU. So they will be rev'd up too, but that kind of fire burns out by the 4th quarter if LSU puts them in their place early.

Moo State will not give up firing into the end zone until the clock runs out.

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.

Yeah I'm voting WVU too.. as some other posters pointed out that it was a close game last year. And WVU has had this game circled on their calendar all year.

WVU rushed for 42 yards vs Marshall.

We will smother that shite, and if they start airing it out, our DBs will have a field day.

Moo State, and it ain't close. I saw the Marshall game, and Mingo/Montgomery/Tyrann will all have incredible numbers....Bloodbath, unless they completely change their identity. Smith just sit there all day in the pocket, and thats not going to happen against LSU. Take out their running game, which looks doable, and its OVER IMO.

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.

Both will be tough for the same three reasons:

1. Quality opponent
2. On the road in a hostile environment
3. Opposing team has the game circled on their schedule and will come out with the intensity that LSU came out with against Oregon.

If LSU is on, we still win both games. If LSU is flat, could be a very disappointing loss and hamper the MNC prospects.

Between the two, MSU has more talent and a (slightly) better coach. I give Mullen the nod over Holgerson because he's been at the helm longer whereas Dana is still making the transition.

In fact, I think the Miss State game is going to be epic. I foresee some helmets getting split.
