Here are the keys for LSU’s defense this weekend against Missouri.

Pressure, pressure, pressure

Missouri is struggling on offense. With freshman quarterback Connor Bazelak at the helm, Pelini should be relentless with his pressure.

Through two games, Mizzou has been sacked four times. However, the Tigers are not turning the ball over with the frequency expected in an offense that is struggling to score.

Pelini should be able to pressure Missouri without heavy blitzing. However, JaCoby Stevens paces LSU with two sacks on the season and Pelini loves moving him around the line of scrimmage.

Expect Stevens to be moving around a lot on Saturday.
