Game Prediction: Gators 40, Rebels 14

Mississippi State vs. LSU

State

A miserable performance against the Yellow Jackets was basically the straw that broke the Bulldogs’ back last Saturday.

Having come so close to upsetting Auburn at home, the “Fighting Crooms” went on the road to take on a Georgia Tech team that appeared at first to present a great matchup. But as Lee Corso says, “Not so fast, my friend.” Mississippi State is back to where they were before Sylvester revived them: at the bottom of the barrel.

I tried to look at the Bulldogs and pull some positives from their season so far. What I found was that they are good at...no, I’m sorry. What they do well is...wait, I’ll get it soon.

Um...yes, two things! They play in the SEC, so they can brag about that for the rest of the season by riding on the coattails of other great SEC teams, and they will probably have a shot at beating the terrible Razorbacks.

There you go: two positives for Croom and the Dogs.

LSU

LSU, on the other hand, is on cloud nine following the come from behind win on the road at Auburn last Saturday. The game was electric—well, at least on LSU’s side.
