AU 20 - LSU 23

LSU posters are the most notorious at cherry picking games to reinforce a point they are trying to make. You don’t hear about their Auburn game much for some reason.

It just goes to show you that the best offenses in America, even when they completely dominate the stat sheet, are capable of being in a dogfight when a few plays don't go your way (turnovers, missed kicks, failed 4th down and redzone tries, etc).

LSU was clearly better than Auburn but made enough mistakes to keep them in it. Nix being off target and Auburn's offense going 3 and out on three or four straight possessions kinda killed their chance of pulling off the win.

Game was played in sloppy weather. I don’t know that I’d read TOO much into it.

Auburn ran an odd defense in that game where they stacked the linbackers and did a lot of shifting of DB's to confuse the QB. It was a high risk strategy and worked pretty well, considering they gave up 508 yds and 30 first downs. You can't depend on that kind of performance yielding only 23 ponts.

We'll probably stick to our tried and true defensive formula, which means that our secondary and LB'ers will be sorely tested in pass coverage. We need to somehow throw Burrow off his game.

Auburn led for a significant portion of the game.

Ehhh... they led for maybe 15-20 minutes in total, and only 7 mins in the second half.
