re: LSU vs. MSU - Keys to the V

An unmentioned aspect to this game that no one has hit on is special teams. For State to win any of the battles this year, especially against a stout defense which will keep them out of the endzone, is with a kicking game. Their kicking game has been comical this year and without being able to trust your kicker to put points on the board (or even make an extra point) it's going to greatly alter their game plan and make it very tough to pull out with any wins in the West this year.
