It’s been tough going overall for LSU, which has struggled to find its identity on offense with quarterback Myles Brennan now at the helm instead of Joe Burrow.
Mike Leach’s Mississippi State Bulldogs and his Air Raid offense have had the momentum up to halftime, but there have been some bright spots within the LSU defense.
The Tigers have brought Costello down three times already through the first two quarters of action, with safety JaCoby Stevens, defensive end Ali Gaye and linebacker Damone Clark each registering a sack.
But it’s graduate transfer linebacker Jabril Cox has been a standout thus far, reeling in a reception off of Costello for a 14-yard touchdown.
Not too shabby of a pickup for the Tigers this offseason, eh?

Stevens also had a nice play for LSU in the second quarter, recovering a snap that quite literally bounced off of Costello’s face mask to give LSU the ball at a crucial point in the second quarter.
Mississippi State leads a struggling LSU team, 17-14 at the half.
