It wasn’t the prettiest of nights, or the most appealing football, but LSU was able to hold a ranked Mississippi State team to just three points with all of 59 yards passing and come away with a 19-3 win.
The offense didn’t do much, but didn’t really have to either, as the 19 points felt like 49 points with the way State struggled to move the football.
And unfortunately a targeting penalty on Devin White that was, at best, questionable. Certainly not the kind of dangerous hit that the targeting rule was intended to curb, and definitely not the kind of act that should keep the SEC’s best linebacker out of what will be a top-five match-up with Alabama in two weeks.
