It’s been a long time since LSU has lost to Mississippi State in Starkville. In fact, it hasn’t happened this century, with the last time the Bulldogs beat the Tigers at Davis Wade Stadium coming all the way back in 1999.
However, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit thinks that’s going to change when the Tigers head to Starkville this weekend.
On his podcast this week, Herbstreit said he thinks Mississippi State will pull off the victory over the visiting Tigers (via NOLA.com):
“It’s gonna be Mississippi State loading up with 15 guys at the line of scrimmage against Derrius Guice and that running game. . .the game is being played in Starkville. I love the quarterback for Mississippi State, Nick Fitzgerald.
When they win, everyone is going to get on the Mississippi State bandwagon.”
It’ll be interesting to see if Herbie stands by that pick on Saturday’s College GameDay show, but he sounds pretty confident in his choice.
See if the Bulldogs can indeed defeat the Tigers on Saturday night at 6 p.m. Central time on ESPN.
