HANAGRIFF: SEC chaos has changed everything for LSU and its championship hopes

Not so safe at home 

It was about as fabulous as the weather could be Saturday morning at Tiger Stadium, but it was only one reason that the team dressed in purple and gold felt good about their game with Mississippi State. 

The Bulldogs had built a 4-1 record primarily on the strength of the play of quarterback Kamario Taylor, and he was on the other sideline, dressed in warmups.  State would also be without leading rusher Fluff Bothwell for the contest.
