From both perspectives, I'll try to discuss this objectively. I'm an LSU Fan so obviously I'll start by saying that I think LSU wins this football game. A lot has been made about how good State is, how impressive their Front 7 is, and regarding this, I don't deny. But ultimately, I don't think this game is won or lost by the LSU Offense vs. the MSU Defense. LSU will scratch enough points across at home in front of the first real hyped up crowd for a quality opponent in Death Valley in three weeks
I think State either wins or loses the game based on how they perform on offense. The X-Factor for me is how State's OL matches up with LSU's Defensive Front. We're as green as we've been since 2008 or 2009 along the front, but where we match up well puts State at a disadvantage.
Agreed. I think OL is our only questionable position group

State will not throw on LSU. We have a deeper, more talented Secondary across the Board at every position in the defensive backfield. Last year, State made a game in the 1st half by finding a favorable matchup at Davis Wade. By using multi-receiver sets with Jameon Lewis in the slot, Chavis was exposed a bit as we had Loston or OLB Lamin Barrow in coverage as we didn't trust our Nickel/Dime coverages/personnel at that point in the season. This was also just after the UGA game, so our Secondary was still in flux at that time
I like your secondary too, but don't sleep on state's receivers. Wilson is a stud and the unit as a whole is as good as ever, though still not world beaters. If we can protect we will be open some. The play calling is gonna have to be great. Mullen will have to call an exceptional game, which rarely happens.
Overall i expect a sloppy back and fourth first half between two stout defenses. I expect to have a lead at some point in the third quarter and Slowly run out of gas unless we get a big turnover and getthe crowd out of it.
Nice post.
Back to the grind now.

And no claim as to who wins?
