When the Mississippi State football team takes on LSU, the Bulldogs will have several questions to answer.

This week, Joe Moorhead and the Mississippi State football team are going down to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to play the LSU Tigers. This is Moorhead’s first trip down to Death Valley and he is going to be welcomed by a raucous crowd ready to see LSU take down yet another team of Bulldogs.

Last week, as just about everyone knows, the LSU Tigers beat the No. 2 team in the nation in Death Valley. The Tigers had no issue outplaying the Georgia Bulldogs and UGA was sent home to Athens with a humiliating loss to LSU.

Mississippi State gets to try to take the Tigers down at home. As evidenced by UGA’s loss to LSU, that’s not going to be easy for Moorhead and his team.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs haven’t played great football on the road before and there’s going to be a huge emphasis on playing mistake free football in this game. State can’t afford to shoot itself in the foot at all and expect to leave with a win. Last weekend, Georgia turned the ball over four times and didn’t focus on running the ball.

Hopefully MSU won’t follow in UGA’s footsteps.

If the Bulldogs are going to avoid disaster, then there’s a few questions that MSU must answer. Here’s five questions that the Mississippi State football team must answer vs LSU this Saturday.
