Mississippi State Football: Bulldogs make a statement against LSU

Saturday night marked a lot of firsts for both LSU and Mississippi State football. For LSU, their Saturday night showdown in Starkville marked the team’s first conference game of the season under first year head coach Ed Orgeron and I’m not sure if it could have gone any worse.

Dan Mullen and the Mississippi State Bulldogs bludgeoned the Tigers in front of a rowdy, cowbell-clanging crowd at Davis Wade Stadium.

For Mississippi State, it was the first time the Bulldogs have beaten the LSU Tigers in Starkville in 18 years. It was also the Bulldogs’ largest margin of victory between the two teams in a series that dates all the way back to 1896.
