CROSSOVER THURSDAY | How will LSU's offense fare against Mississippi State's 3-3-5 defense?

Summary: We are just two days away from Brian Kelly's in-conference coaching debut as Mike Leach and the Mississippi State Bulldogs make their way to Tiger Stadium for each of the team's first SEC game of the season. To preview the matchup, Clarion Ledger Mississippi State football beat reporter Stefan Krajisnik joins Caroline Fenton and Locked On LSU to break down the strengths and weaknesses of the maroon and white and the expectations for Leach's third year in Starkville. While the Bulldogs' air raid offense and Will Rogers' massive passing yards stat is usually at the forefront of the conversation surrounding this team, Stefan points out that Mississippi State's defense might just be the strongest part of this team. In each of their first two games, against Memphis and Arizona, the defense was able to stop the run and limit a lot of what opposing offenses can do. How will LSU fare against this 3-3-5 unit that is incredibly dynamic and experienced? Also, Mississippi State has yet to face a quarterback as mobile as Jayden Daniels. Is that the key to getting past the Bulldogs D? Plus, Mike Leach has gone 4-7 and 7-6 in his first two years at Mississippi State. Are Bulldogs fans demanding more? What will Leach need to accomplish this year to keep himself off the hot seat? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! LinkedIn LinkedIn jobs helps you find the candidates you want to talk to, faster.
