7:10 PM EST - We are just about ready for the kickoff!

7:05 PM EST - It appears that the game will start on ESPN 2 as they do not have a game on until 8 PM Eastern Time.

7:00 PM EST - The line for this game has not budged. LSU is still favored by 7 points and the over/under is still at 48 points.

6:56 PM EST - The good news is that the MSU-LSU game is not scheduled for kickoff until 7:10 PM Eastern Time on ESPN. That gives us plenty of time for the conclusion of the Virginia-BYU game.

6:52 PM EST - Currently, the Virginia-BYU game is airing on ESPN with 7:48 remaining. Tonight's game between MSU and LSU is scheduled to be on ESPN. We will keep you posted on which channel the game will begin on.

6:48 PM EST - Speaking of the SEC West, Alabama is currently leading Florida 35-21 and is threatening to score again. Texas A&M is crushing SMU 58-6 while Auburn won 20-14 over Kansas State on Thursday night. Arkansas will face NIU later in the evening, which yours truly will try to give updates on that game.

6:45 PM EST - With the way the SEC dominates on a yearly basis and the demanding schedule of the SEC, it would not be a surprise to see a two loss team from the SEC West come out and win the SEC Championship. The question is, how would the playoff committee view a two-loss SEC team against a one loss team from another confernece?

6:40 PM EST - We all now about the first four teams, but Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Mississippi State are all on the way up. Arkansas is probably stil a year away from being a true nuisance, but Ole Miss and Miss St are both good. It is possible that the SEC West could harm each other this year by beating each other up.

6:34 PM EST - If Mississippi State can win this game, they have a chance to finally move into the upper echelon of the SEC West. However, the West division is PACKED with Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Arkansas. Top to bottom, the SEC West is the best division in college football.

6:28 PM EST - The latest line from Vegas has the LSU as the 7 point favorites with the over/under at 48.

6:25 PM EST - This game has the feel of a "which defense will break first" to it. Both teams will probably pound and ground the ball, but the aerial attack should not be dismissed by either team.

6:18 PM EST - Prescott likes to spread the ball around to his receivers. 8 different receivers have at least 4 catches and 50 yards. Jameon Lewis is the top receiver with 10 catches for 107 yards.

6:14 PM EST - Prescott is also capable of running the ball. He has ran for 273 yards and 2 touchdowns on 40 carries. He will be carrying the rock along with Josh Robinson. Robinson has 288 yards and 3 touchdowns on 46 carries.

6:10 PM EST - Dak Prescott will lead the Bulldogs offense and many feel this season will be a breakout campaign. He has gone 43 of 72 for 696 yards with 9 touchdowns and 2 interceptions this year. His completion percentage is 59.7.

6:05 PM EST - The Bulldogs have been solid on defense as well. They have given up 37 points in their three games, for an average of 12.3 points per game. That ranks 11th best in the nation.

6:00 PM EST - For Mississippi State, they have a very balanced offense. They have averaged 266.3 yards per game passing (48th best in the nation) while rushing they have averaged 260.3 yards per game (22nd). They have averaged 43.7 points per game in their first three contests, which is good enough for 20th.

5:52 PM EST - The receiving trio of Travin Dural, John Diarse, and Trey Quinn will be on display again tonight. Dural leads the Tigers with 12 catches for 370 yards and 4 touchdowns. Diarse has 6 catches for 116 yards and a touchdown. Quinn has caught 5 passes for 49 yards while Fournette has 3 catches for 52 yards out of the backfield.

5:39 PM EST - Anthony Jennings has shown some excellent ability at times this year. He has gone 27 of 52 (51.9%) for 566 yards, 5 touchdowns, and an interception. Jennings needs to work on the completion percentage, but he should improve as the year moves on. Jennings has also ran for 61 yards on 24 carries.

5:35 PM EST - The LSU defense has been very good this year. They have held teams scoreless going back to the final quarter of the Wisconsin game. They are 2nd in the nation giving up only 8 points per game.

5:30 PM EST - LSU is ranked 91st in passing offense with 214 yards a game. They are 36th in rushing offense at 226.3 yards per game. Their offense has been good, considering the talent they lost at 38.3 yards per game (42nd in the nation).
