This week the LSU Tigers are preparing for their final tuneup game ahead of SEC play opening next week.
In that SEC opener, the Tigers will head to Starkville, Mississippi, for a chance at redemption against Mississippi State and Mike Leach. The Bulldogs came into Death Valley to open the 2020 season and stunned the defending national champions, 44-34.
That eye-opening result proved an omen for the defense. This time around the Tigers want to repay the favor and hand Mississippi State the loss at home to open conference play. Before that game, LSU needs to take care of business against Central Michigan.

The first conference test will be a big one for the Tigers. After losing to UCLA to open the season and struggling on offense against McNeese, can this team get right against Central Michigan before next week?
Currently, Mike Leach’s team is 2-0 after victories over Louisiana Tech and North Carolina State. Their final tuneup game will be at Memphis before returning home to host LSU.

Can the Tigers get revenge for an embarrassing loss in 2020? Or will Leach prove once again that the LSU defense can’t stop his air raid attack?
