If Mississippi State beats LSU...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
Stopped Guice.
Actually, not even "stopped". Limiting him to tough yards, no big runs, under 110 yds, something like that. He's their offense.

Time of possession, Keep Guice in check on 3rd Down, OL Protects Fitz, Williams/Hill have a good night.
It's going to come down to whoever is able to run the ball effectively. LSU averaging about 260 yards per game, and we're at about 305. If we beat LSU, it will be because we were able to hold them under 150 rushing yards and have some success ourselves running the football. It's no secret LSU is a run first offense, and if we're able to limit their running attack, that probably means they are in 3rd and mid to long situations frequently, which will allow our edge guys Green and Sweat to really get after Etling.
Guice averages less than 4 yards per carry.
A couple of big play touchdowns early in the game for MSU to get the crowd into the game.
LSU has less than three sacks.
Fitz turns the ball over no more than once.
Defense forces Etling into bad decisions.
MSU special teams kicks field goals and wins the battle of field position.
Over 200 yards rushing for MSU.

Need to be successful on every trip into the maroon zone. Can't leave three points on the field against that D.
Score on the first drive and come out firing on all cylinders. Get ahead two scores and make their offense play catchup.
+2 turnover margin for State.
Our 12/13 deep on D is only 6-8 stars off from LSU's 12/13 deep on D. After that, it's not close.
We must keep the ball for some long drives......which is something we struggle with......keeping our top 13 on D, fresh.

The defense is legit.
We can score points. What would our record have been last year with this year's defense after Nick hit his groove?

A) Got better on the o-line, minimizing runs of 2 yards or less, and consistently giving Fitz a little more time to make reads and throw
B) Fitz got more accurate on passes beyond 10 yards
C) Defense continued to look great, this time against higher-caliber athletes

No deep completions (big pass plays), no turnovers. Make them one dimensional.
If you allowed me those two things I'd say we win.

We will win if: 1) we stop Guice (no big runs; less than 75 yards rushing); and 2) offensively, we call plays that keeps the LSU defense off balance and we execute well.
We need to remember that the game is 60 minutes long.
If we get behind early, then we keep our composure and battle back. On the other hand, if we get up early, then we keep scoring and kicking their *** until the final horn goes off.
shut down Guice, which led to making Etling trying to beat us, which led to us sacking his *** multiple times causing turnovers galore.
This one is on the defense. A few three-and-outs, playing more of the game on their side of the field.
Actually, scratch all of that. My answer is made field goals.

Our D wreaks havoc like in 2014, but Dan keeps his foot on the gas unlike 2014. Fitz has his Dak against the corndogs moment.
Fitz throws for 280 and two tds with 0 or maybe 1 int.
Fitz and another back run for over 100 each and 250 total run yards and we own the time of possession by 8-10 minutes.
LSU will get their's but dogs keep them under control and win 28-21. 35-21 if the D gets another Td.
Jmho

Run the game plan from Baton Rouge 2014: Strong running game complemented by an advantageous passing game; good run D, and the luck fairy parking on our sideline. Winning special teams would help too. I'd love to have Bear though.

We are effective enough in the passing game to maintain balance. We don't give up big plays on defense, contain Guice, and make Etling beat us. He doesn't.
I looked at their depth chart today. I was surprised to see that almost a third of their 2-deep on defense are true freshmen. I know they play a lot of young guys, but that seems like a lot even for them.
