ESPN RECAPJohnson has 4 TD passes, LSU outlasts Mississippi St. 28-25
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- , The morning after then-defending national champion LSU dropped its 2020 season opener 44-34 to Mississippi State, head coach Ed Orgeron began working on a way to beat the Air Raid. On Saturday he got his chance. Max Johnson passed for 280 yards and four touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 28-25 victory over the late-rallying Bulldogs on Saturday. LSU (3-1, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) had only 343 yards offense and was 5 of 32 on third down but reeled off several big plays when needed. “We say all the time, big plays build momentum,” Orgeron said. Mississippi State (2-2, 0-1) dominated the stat sheet with 486 yards offense and 12 third-down conversions, but turned the ball over twice inside the LSU 30-yard line and regularly squandered momentum-building drives. “You just gotta know, that’s Mississippi State’s offense, “ linebacker Damone Clark said.
