Two undefeated SEC teams face-off as No. 8 LSU plays host to Mississippi State in a primetime matchup.
This game will come down to if the LSU defense can stop Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott for four quarters. Prescott has grabbed the attention of the SEC and the nation with his play and LSU coach Les Miles believes the game will come down to stopping him.
"Dak Prescott is as good a player as there is at his position in our conference," Miles said. ”He's a guy that stands back in the pocket and knows what he's looking at. He makes the throws and he has the ability to pull it down. He runs with strength.
"I don't know exactly how fast Prescott is, but he carves through the ground very quickly," Miles added. "When you go to tackle him, you better hit him hard. You better take him off his feet because he's just a big, physical kid.”
The Tigers and Prescott met last season while the quarterback split time with Tyler Russell. In that game, Prescott rushed for 103 yards and completed nine of 20 passes for 106 yards. Prescott has thrown for 696 yards and nine touchdowns this season and has added 273 yards on the ground.
LSU is 69-35-3 against Mississippi State all-time and currently have a 14-game winning streak against the Bulldogs. LSU has a 43-3 record in night games at Tiger Stadium under Les Miles.
