Joe Burrow led No. 2 LSU to its seventh consecutive win this season with a 36-13 victory over SEC rival Mississippi State at Davis Wade Stadium.
The Tigers were perfectly set up for a trap game this week coming off a marquee win against Florida with a showdown against Auburn waiting on Oct. 26. Head coach Ed Orgeron made sure his team was ready to against a Mississippi State team trying to end its two-game losing streak.
LSU moved to 7-0 thanks to another outstanding day by its superstar quarterback. Burrow had his fifth game with at least 300 yards passing and four touchdown passes to boost his Heisman resume.
