LSU drops pulsating Week 3 hype video ahead of relocated game versus Missouri

LSU was dealt a curveball to its original plan of hosting Missouri on Saturday. The effects of Hurricane Delta will be felt throughout the Southeast, and instead of playing in Baton Rouge, Ed Orgeron’s team will instead pack up camp and travel to Columbia to play at Faurot Field.
The two teams have only met twice on the gridiron. The first contest, played in 1978, saw Mizzou win 20-15 in that year’s Liberty Bowl in Memphis. The second one, in 2016, ended in a 42-7 LSU blowout victory.
LSU started the season with a loss to Mississippi State before easily handling Vanderbilt, while Mizzou is still seeking the first win of the Eli Drinkwitz era after losses to nationally-ranked Alabama and Tennessee. Despite the change in venue, things still appear to be trending towards the visiting Tigers to improve their record to 2-1, and on Thursday, they released their Week 3 hype video on Twitter.
