LSU would have to play a perfect game to win.

LSU would need to play very well, but not a perfect game.

LSU suspended some guys for the SELU game, that played the week before against Miami, and will be back for the Auburn game. That includes a starting offensive tackle.
As you might have noted, LSU looked eerily similar vs Miami and Southeastern on offense, and I don't think there's a chance in hell that Southeastern approaches the Hurricane's D. So the line will be upgraded.

LSU's defense has been stingy and strong, and has gotten a lot of backups in. Even vs Miami, we pulled a lot of starters out in the 2nd half.

LSU has been good in special teams, and saw another 50 yd FG yesterday. Kickoffs have been deep, punt coverage has been good.

Teams need to score to win. I don't think Auburn will score a lot on LSU's defense, especially the starters; and LSU has shown that they can get points once they get inside the 40.
That's a dangerous opponent to face, no matter who you are.

Our QB isn't impressive, but when's the last time that has really factored into an LSU game?
