LSU v Miss St – Saturday Nov 10, 700p (ESPN) :
Christmas did not come early for Mississippi State, as the LSU
Tigers avenged their heartbreaking loss to Alabama with a Death Valley Bulldog Beatdown
Under The Lights tonight.
The Tigers jumped out to an uncharacteristic quick lead, scoring
touchdowns on their first three drives…two in the first quarter off of runs by RB
Hill. One-time Movember pin-up boy Mettenberger then lit up the Bulldog
secondary in the second quarter, on a 57-yard TD pass to WR Wright. LSU K Alleman added more points near the end
of the first half, with a 38-yard FG brought about by a State QB Russell
sack-fumble.
At the half, LSU had already hung 24 points on a reportedly stout
Miss State defense.
The Bulldog’s short-lived answer began the second half with an impressive
drive that was capped off by a 14-yard touchdown strike from QB Russell to WR
Bumphis.
State's defense, known for forcing turnovers throughout the 2012
season came up big by forcing a Mettenberger fumble at 20 on LSU’s third
quarter opening drive. The Bulldogs had to settle for a Bell FG after
back-to-back Russell sacks at the hands of Tiger DE Mingo. Russell ended the game 19 of 30 for 212 yards
and 2 TDs.
The Tigers racked up 473 total yards, fueled partly by
Mettenberger’s 212 yards and two TDs off 19 completions. Bulldog faithful, racked up on stadium
sausages and Piggly Wiggly bourbon, maintained a relentless barrage of cowbells
and synchronized belching in a vain attempt to rally the Maroon and White…but
to no avail. State HC Mullen at his
post-game presser criticized the travelling fanbase for “gross displays of
vulgarity, a wanton disregard for both body odor and indoor plumbing facilities.”
Trev Alberts’ career may have peaked Saturday night, after
drunkenly accepting the Jersey Shore Douchebag Of The Week Award sponsored by
Axe Body Spray, Ed Hardy anything, and Booty Sweat Energy Drink…while his
acceptance speech was a muddled mess of F-bombs, hiccups and screams of “WAAASSSSAAAAHHH”,
it did spawn a sales run on the “Young, Black, and Famous, with money hanging
out the Anus" muscle tee he was
sporting.
LSU – 34 Moo State - 20
