There's still a handful of LSU fans here that think the 4th quarter of the game indicates how good LSU is.
I rarely see an LSU fan acknowledge that Mississippi State took their foot off the gas or that Mississippi State may have put in their backups.
So what really happened? Did Mississippi State pump the brakes and sub the backups? Or did LSU shut Mississippi State down and make a true game of it in the 4th quarter versus the same team that went up 24 points earlier?
Who cares? LSU had a horrible game and MSU played really well. If the game were played today, LSU would probably win.
I will say this, LSU was one lucky play away from stealing the win back...ONE catch on the last play and LSU wins.
So think what you want, MSU's coaching staff wasn't playing backups....what you saw at the end is what should have been happening earlier in the game.
Miss St is a very good team and should not be discredited for getting the win. But they absolutely were trying to stop LSU in the 4th.

How do you know LSU would win? Maybe LSU has 4 more TO's like they did against OM. Maybe they will have 4 against Bama and Bama blows them out like AU did. Anything is possible. But what is more likely? Would LSU all of a sudden stop Dak Prescott? I don't think so. Maybe LSU hold's the ball longer but I doubt you outscore Dak. MSU would stop your ground attack a couple of times but I'm sure you'd stop Dak as many. I got MSU a 10-14 better team than today's LSU.
One thing is certain. Bama is immune to Death Valley syndrome. Could it be that you fu*ked up by giving it that nick name after a close to loss to Bama?

Riiiight. You obviously haven't been paying much attention to both teams.

That's absurd. Not only was MSU playing third stringers, they were playing prevent D and running conservative offensive plays for minimal yardage.
MSU had the ball at the LSU 12 with 5 minutes to play, and the score 34-16. One score would have put the game away. Mullen made a huge error at that point (which he admitted) and put in the entire second string offense with Dak at QB. Second string makes no sense, and leaving Dak into play with the second string makes even less sense. They turned to ball over on downs.
Harris came in at QB, and State used a combination of 2nd and 3rd string players to play prevent defense. Very badly. Harris lead LSU to another TD, failed on the 2 point try, and the score was 34-22.
On MSU's next possession, Mullen again put in a collection of subs with Dak at QB. Muniz was at center. Muniz is a Senior who almost never plays. He plays on special teams, and sometimes gets in at the end of big blowouts. He snapped the ball over Dak's head and LSU recovered.
For the next defensive possession, MSU went back to its regular rotation of defensive players, but they were still playing prevent...3 man rush, 8 men back....and they still played it very poorly and gave up a quick TD. 34-29.
After recovering the onside kick attempt, MSU put the first string offense back in. But, they just ran 3 ultra conservative plays and had to punt, which set up LSU's final attempt at a comeback.
