LSU is so close to knocking MSU out of this game already.

The LSU Tigers have total control of this game right now. The Mississippi State football team has none. If the Bulldogs hadn’t made so many mistakes on the offensive side of things, then the Bulldogs would likely have a lead after the first half.

However, MSU is falling apart against LSU and has no ability to move the ball on offense. The first half was dreadful and the Tigers are starting to get to Mississippi State’s defense as well. If the Tigers get another touchdown, this game is completely out of reach for MSU.

The Mississippi State football team must find a way to score and it must continue to get after Joe Burrow. Otherwise, this game is lost and the season has a ton of potential to completely spiral out of Joe Moorhead’s control.
