Mississippi State is currently 1-0 in SEC play so far. They’re at the top of the SEC West. And the Bulldogs want to find a way to continue to be the current leader in the race to Atlanta amongst the SEC West teams. A win in Baton Rouge would keep them at the top of the division’s standings.
But the Bulldogs are facing an immensely talented program. Like Mississippi State, LSU is still trying to recover mentally from their week one loss to an inferior opponent. However, unlike the Bulldogs, they didn’t get much of a significant win in week two.
