It was an unexpected open date for LSU football last weekend, with the matchup against Florida that was supposed to occur Saturday tentatively rescheduled for Dec. 12.
This was a highly anticipated matchup, and one that presented an opportunity for the Tigers to make a statement against the No. 10 team in the country, but there were still other games around the Southeastern conference plenty worth turning attention to, even without LSU taking the field.
Here’s a look into three of those.
Texas A&M 28, Mississippi State 14
Mike Leach’s air raid offense with graduate transfer quarterback K.J. Costello at the helm put the SEC on notice in Week 1, taking down LSU 44-34 on the road as Costello hung 623 yards a defense that clearly needed work.
But the ship seems to be sinking for the signal-caller, who was benched yet again for Will Rogers.
Costello completed 15-of-22 passes for 99 yards and one interception before Rogers was brought in. Rogers completed 15-of-18 passing attempts for 120 yards and one touchdown in relief.
It will be interesting to see how the quarterback situation continues to evolve moving forward, and if the Bulldogs can get their feet under them again.
