The Mississippi St. Bulldogs were crowned Alabama’s best competition after they dismantled the LSU Tigers in week three. That obviously wasn’t the case, but it’s important that fans don’t take a similar overreaction to the loss against Georgia.
When the season’s schedule was first released, many declared the three game stretch against the LSU Tigers, Georgia Bulldogs, and Auburn Tigers as one of the toughest in the country. Fans were ecstatic when Mississippi State was able to pull off the big win over LSU. It was only the third time the Bulldogs had beaten LSU since 1992.
