It was a long afternoon for Mississippi State on Saturday in Starkville, as LSU came to town and dropped a 41-14 blowout win on their SEC West opponent.

LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers delivered a dominant performance, racking up 239 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 13 receptions.

Nabers spent all game showing off his well-rounded skill set, with the ability to win at all levels of the field and create big plays in many different ways.

One of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class, Nabers has been a popular first-round pick in early projections for next year's draft, and performances like this one will only strengthen his stock.
