Mississippi State Bulldogs vs #6 LSU Tigers | SEC Football Extended Highlights | CBS Sports HQ

No. 6 LSU entered Death Valley on Saturday afternoon in its first game since winning the national championship with the goal of proving to the world that there wouldn't be a big drop off despite massive roster and coaching turnover. The Tigers left with their tails between their legs as the first defending champion to lose its next game since Michigan in 1998.

Mississippi State steamrolled LSU 44-34 in a game that saw Bulldogs quarterback KJ Costello set SEC records against a defense that had no answers for him. Costello was 36 of 60 for 623 yards with five touchdowns and two interceptions. Those 623 yards set a single-game SEC record and made Costello the first quarterback in league history to top a 600-yard mark. It was the 11th-most yards passing registered in FBS history.

Three different players had more than 100 receiving yards for the Bulldogs with Osirus Mitchell (183, two touchdowns) leading the way. Costello hit Mitchell for a 24-yard score with 3:39 to play, pushing Mississippi State's lead to 10 points and essentially ice the game. MSU's running backs carried the ball just 10 times in the game for a net of nine yards (thanks to multiple Costello sacks), though star rusher Kylin Hill had 192 total yards with a receiving touchdown.

LSU quarterback Myles Brennan, in his first game as a starter, was no slouch with 345 yards, three touchdowns and two picks on 27 of 46 passing. Leading receiver Terrance Marshall Jr. caught eight of those passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns.

LSU fans 2020 Pre season: LSU isn't a one year wonder, they're here to stay.
LSU fans after opening game loss:

LSU got lucky. The Bulldogs left quite a few points on the field with dumb mistakes and miscues. Costello should have had over 700 yards and another touchdown or two.

[bumpusjones.]

Costello also looks like a QB on a Topps card from the 60’s I have no ability to side by side this but to me his body mannerisms and how his jersey looks on him I’d swear that was Johnny Unitas if he has a crew cut the search for a time machine should begin immediately.

[zebrastripes]

Aye, good team in StArrrkville this season, matey.

[thabus]

Everyone forgets it’s basically a new team for state plus a whole new system.

[SavageThoughts-xc]

KJ Costello is a gifted athlete and a really good QB who can make all of the NFL throws. His pocket awareness is good to see and he has natural qb instincts that allow him to play at a high level. He didn't play much at Stanford but when he did play he was awesome to look at. If he stays healthy and keeps this up he will be a hot commodity for some NFL team. Lawrence, Fields, Lance, Newman, Morgan, and now Costello can all go pro in 2021.

[KelzKelz]

A star is born. Dude dropped dimes all day long. It's will be hard to beat them dude keep throwing like that.

[MrGTO-zevb]

This was a fun game to watch..!! Congrats to Miss State..!

[rolly]

Where did all the LSU "fans" go?

[mikeschmidt]

Mike Leach with SEC talent is going to be a problem.

[joeyfuruya]

People call this an upset. It’s not. LSU is just being back to LSU

[SeverSTL]

L.S.U. was lucky the score wasn't worse.

[jimbo]

lsu fans were talking super highly about how godly they were gonna be this year and win a natty again. now using the fact that they lost like all of their team as an excuse lmao.

[bumpusjones.]

It looks like the takes forever from the time Costello arm begins and when the ball is released.

[dougsholly]

This was actually a better game than I assumed it was. LSU had pathetic tackling in the secondary and that cost them this game.

[blazinpyromaniac]

The way Costello holds ball is worrisome. Teams will figure that out moving forward

[gabeitch]

They should honesty abolish pre season rankings, you mean to tell me LSU was the 6th best team in the nation. My ass they are the 6th best team in the nation, let the teams play a few games before determining how good they are.

[TalmadgeGray]

Only Mile Leach can achieve signature win status on game one with a new team. RIP Pirate…Swing Your Sword and Hail State

[rockig]

Mike Leach has got himself some players at Miss St!
