Advocate columnist Scott Rabalais and beat reporter Wilson Alexander join sports editor Perryn Keys to preview LSU's game against Missouri.

Wilson and Scott take a long look at the LSU defense — specifically how it can get better in the middle of the season, and whether the Tigers can make (more) changes in personnel.

We also discuss Missouri's effective offense, led by an accurate QB, an elite No. 1 receiver and a solid ground game. How will LSU defend against Luther Burden III?

Wilson and Scott also survey the explosive LSU offense behind quarterback Jayden Daniels; the emergence of a robust ground game; the offensive line; and whether LSU can play more ball-control.

We wrap it up with staff predictions.
