When Mississippi State (1-1) travels to Baton Rouge to face No. 20 LSU (1-1) on Saturday, the SEC West showdown will feature two sharp defenses and two offenses searching for their identity. Mississippi State enters the game with nothing to lose while LSU still has heavy expectations upon their shoulders for an SEC championship-contending season.
