No. 14 LSU travels to Starkville to face Mississippi State on Saturday, Sept. 16. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and SlingTV (half off first month).

Unbeaten Mississippi State knows it must improve, entering a stretch of SEC games that could determine its chances of contending in the SEC West.

There’s certainly no margin for error against No. 14 LSU, which visits Starkville, Mississippi, on Saturday primed to defend its division title after a dominant bounce-back win.

The Bulldogs (2-0) enter encouraged after gutting out a 31-24 overtime victory over Pac-12 foe Arizona. Satisfying as it was to top a Power 5 opponent, they know more will be needed against a Tigers squad that poses a threat in all phases.

LSU (1-1) regrouped from an opening-game loss to Florida State with a 72-10 shellacking of FCS foe Grambling State. Their wide margin of victory was expected, but the Tigers’ all-around crispness pleased coach Brian Kelly.

LSU scored touchdowns on its first 10 possessions — five each passing and rushing. Their 627 yards offensively were similarly balanced, and the defense improved from a slow start to shut out Grambling the final three quarters.

When is LSU-Miss. State?

LSU faces Mississippi State at 11 a.m. (noon ET) on Saturday, Sept. 16.
