LSU went to Starkville and beat Mississippi State Bulldogs 41-14 behind a stellar game from quarterback Jayden Daniels. On Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023, everything went Daniels’ way, who set an LSU passing accuracy record (88% completion rate).
If you watch the LSU game, you see a team with the potential to be a contender.
Tiger receiver Malik Nabers had a career day, catching 13 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Daniels also ran for two scores.
“Daniels and Nabers hooking up to the level that we’ve always wanted to see, we saw that (Saturday) and that’s certainly fun,” head coach Brian Kelly said, according to ESPN. “If that continues to show itself, we’re a pretty good football team. Defensively, there were many questions. It’s just a matter of getting a lot of young players and new players together. It’s just a matter of time.”
For the second year in a row, the Tigers opened SEC play with a route. Now, the teeth of the LSU football schedule begins.
