The Tigers will depart for Starkville on Friday afternoon. LSU and Mississippi State are set to kick off at 8:20 p.m. Saturday night on ESPN. “It’s important that I communicate with all our guys, and we echo the call as a total offensive unit. We have a team with a great attitude and guys who are busting their tails to accomplish what we expect from ourselves”.

Fewer than five minutes into LSU’s game Saturday night against McNeese State, lightning strikes were repeatedly detected within 5 miles of Tiger Stadium. The Tigers are traveling to Davis Wake Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi, and will face a hostile environment as these teams are both battling for their seasons.
Mullen would like to limit how much Prescott runs with the ball in order to keep him healthy, but his quarterback’s legs are a big part of Mississippi State’s offense.
Harris did complete 6 of 9 passes for 140 yards and two touchdowns against State’s prevent defense late in LSU’s 34-29 loss a year ago .
That year, Hill started in road losses to Florida and Ole Miss.
Since LSU barely played, there was barely any 2015 film for Mississippi State coaches to study this week, and the Tigers have a virtually brand new quarterback in Brandon Harris along with a new defensive coordinator and defensive line coach in Kevin Steele and Ed Orgeron, respectively. Now that 89 yards will more likely be his yards after contact. He’s fighting like heck and that’s what he should be doing. “I just remember bringing him down [last year]”. Both LSU and Mississippi State play Auburn the next two weeks after this game.

Prescott – who was so good in Mississippi State’s upset win over LSU in Baton Rouge last season – didn’t have much time to throw or run during the first half. Mississippi State is a quality SEC team and playing at home is every reason they need to derail our hopes at glory this year. That’s means he’s recorded more than 100 rushing yards in each game since taking over as the Bulldogs’ primary running back following Todd Gurley’s suspension and eventual season-ending injury. Prescott was a potential Heisman candidate at the beginning of November past year , but the Bulldogs wound up losing two of their last three games overall and lost in the Orange Bowl to Georgia Tech as well. Travin Dural and Malachi Dupre combined for more than 1,000 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns while John Diarse had three touchdowns on 15 receptions. He registered a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown a week ago, so LSU will have to be careful that he doesn’t do it again.
