Mississippi State came close. Like so many times before under Dan Mullen, the Bulldogs almost overcame that final obstacle at the end. Although, it wasn’t meant to be. LSU was far too good for far too long in this game for the Bulldogs to pull off the road upset. But State was almost there.
LSU came out firing to start the game. The Tigers roared out and did what they wanted with little to no issue for their offense. Danny Etling, the quarterback that we all assumed would struggle, lit Mississippi State’s secondary on fire while the human-bulldozer that is Leonard Fournette mashed and pushed right through the Bulldogs.
