We’re putting the final touches on the Mississippi State victory for the LSU Tigers. The Bayou Bengals were able to leave Starkville with a win over Mike Leach and look to make it 2-0 when they host Auburn in Death Valley.

Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports released his report card for week four with LSU getting a somewhat positive grade.

The Tigers were without cornerback Derek Stingley Jr . against Mississippi State on Saturday but found a way to take the 28-25 win. Don’t let that score deceive you, though. The Tigers were in control for the majority of the afternoon.

Grade: B-

Head coach Ed Orgeron met with the media on Monday and was very complimentary of Dwight McGlothern, who replaced Stingley on Saturday. He praised his instincts and footwork. The Bulldogs targeted McGlothern a total of seven times on Saturday with just two receptions for five yards.

Orgeron also stated that Stingley would see a doctor this week to get an update on a possible return in the coming games. It is fair to presume that he won’t be available against Auburn on Saturday night.
