That LSU has lost to the Bulldogs and Tigers on the heels of last years national championship leaves the Tigers season teetering on the brink even before encountering the meat of the conference-only schedule. Missouri, which had six scoring drives of at least 75 yards, took a 45-41 lead with five minutes left in the fourth quarter and made a goal-line stand with seconds left to pulloff the upset as roughly two-touchdown underdogs. Less dangerous on offense and a disaster on defense, the 1-2 Tigers still face a murderers row of SEC competition: Florida next week, Auburn on Halloween, and Alabama and Texas A&M in November. The season already seems lost. How much worse can it get?It probably cant get any more catastrophic on defense. Then again . . . In his first season back as the Tigers coordinator, former Nebraska and Youngstown State coach Bo Pelini has crafted a scheme that allowed Mississippi State to crank out 623 passing yards and Missouri to gain 586 yards of total offense. In his first career start, Missouri freshman quarterback Connor Bazelak completed 29 of 34 attempts for 406 yards and four touchdowns. Up next, LSU takes on Kyle Trask and the Florida offense, which is averaging more than 450 yards and 40 points per game. Tuesday marks nine months to the day of LSU beating Clemson to close out an unbeaten season. The offseason losses were severe, from quarterback Joe Burrow through both coordinators through a series of key contributors at receiver, the offensive line and on each level of the defense.
