LSU faces its first real test since taking a 45-24 loss to Florida State in the season opener this Saturday.
The Tigers hit the road to take on Mississippi State for what will be Brian Kelly’s first trip to Starkville as a head coach. LSU will be starting SEC play with a morning kick-off as the game is set to start at 11:30 a.m.
