Coming off a hot win against the formerly No. 2 ranked Georgia Bulldogs, the LSU Tigers defeated the Mississippi State Bulldogs, 19-3 in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night.
The opening drive could not have gone much worse for the Bulldogs, with back-to-back false starts and a 31-yard interception return by Michael Divinity to make it first and goal for the Tigers. LSU responded with a three-play touchdown drive, complete with a one-yard scoring run by running back Nick Brossette to make it 7-0, LSU with 12:37 remaining in the first quarter.
If the early turnover didn’t make it evident enough, quarterback Nick Fitzgerald can’t exactly be trusted to throw the ball.
